Ryan Lindgren’s importance to Rangers unquestioned in contract season: ‘Real leader’

From trade package sweetener to the top defensive pair, Ryan Lindgren has become the heartbeat of the Rangers in just five years.

No one could’ve foreseen that the 20-year-old prospect the Rangers acquired — as part of a haul from the Bruins in exchange for Rick Nash — in February 2018 would eventually serve as the team’s strongest motor.And no matter how tight the NHL’s cap constraints are, Lindgren’s integral role on the Rangers will still ring true next summer.

“I’m not trying to think about it,” he said. “I know it’s a cliché answer. You do your best not to think about it and just go out there and play your game, have fun and see what happens.” There’s a solid chance Lindgren won’t start the season alongside Fox, with whom he’s grown as a person and player since their days together as teenagers with the U.S. National Team Development Program.Corey Sipkin for the NY POST
