TSN’s Bob McKenzie notes that 38-year-old goalie Henrik Lundqvist cannot formalize an agreement on a new contract until Friday despite having been bought out by the New York Rangers.
He points to the Washington Capitals being the “clear frontrunner” to land Lundqvist on a what would likely be a short-term contract.
Although bought-out ex-NYR goalie Henrik Lundqvist is currently UFA, he cannot formalize an agreement until Friday. That said, the word on the street is that WSH is the clear frontrunner for the King’s services on what would presumably be a short-term, bargain contract.

That would make sense both ways. WSH would get capable vet on affordable deal to platoon/push burgeoning No. 1 Ilya Samsonov, who’s only 23. Lundqvist would get good chance to play decent number of games on a team with a chance to contend. And in the Metro Division, no less. ?
