Potential landing spots for Henrik Lundqvist
Pierre LeBrun: The Washington Capitals and Carolina Hurricanes would be interesting options for goaltender Henrik Lundqvist. Could see the Capitals as a “reasonable proposition.”
Dan Rosen: The Capitals make a lot of sense for Lundqvist. Could also see the Colorado Avalanche and Vegas Golden Knights,
The Hurricanes and the Vancouver Canucks – if Jacob Markstrom leaves – would also make sense,
The goalie market is going to be fascinating the offseason.
Vincent Z. Mercogliano of Lohud: If the right team shows interest, Henrik Lundqvist is ready to strap the pads on again next season. A team should be able to get him at a real good price after his buyout from the New York Rangers. Lundqvist will be looking for a team with a shot at contending and one that will provide him with the opportunity to play a significant role.
Eight options that make some sense: Calgary Flames, Carolina Hurricanes, Colorado Avalanche, Edmonton Oilers, Minnesota Wild, Toronto Maple Leafs, Washington Capitals and Frolunda HC of the SHL.
