Lindgren Avoids Arbitration, Inks One-Year Deal with Rangers

Defenseman Ryan Lindgren has secured his future in New York, signing a one-year contract worth $4.5 million with the Rangers on Tuesday. This move comes just weeks after Lindgren filed for salary arbitration as a restricted free agent.

A Mutual Desire to Stay

Lindgren, a vital part of the Rangers’ defensive core, expressed his love for the city, the team, and the fans in early June.The Rangers, clearly valuing his contributions, were equally invested in keeping him on board.

Solid Stats and Strong Work Ethic

Last season, the 26-year-old Lindgren notched 17 points (3 goals, 14 assists) while blocking 103 shots in 76 games. He further solidified his value by contributing 3 assists in the team’s Stanley Cup Playoff run. His dedication is evident in his consistent performance over 333 career games, all played with the Rangers.

Looking Ahead

With this contract settled, both Lindgren and the Rangers can focus on the upcoming season. Lindgren has amassed 80 points (10 goals, 70 assists) in his regular-season career and looks to add to that total while helping the Rangers achieve their championship aspirations.
