Henrik Lundqvist was bought out of the final years of his contract for salary cap purposes. After departing the Rangers, Lundqvist went onto sign with the Washington Capitals. Unfortunately a medical condition ultimately ended Lundqvist's career.

It never felt right that Lundqvist's final appearance was in a Capitals jersey, but today the hockey world has righted itself as Lundqvist and the Rangers announced that 'King Henrik' would be returning to his thrown in NYC.

Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. (NYSE: MSGS) ("MSG Sports") and Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp. (NYSE: MSGE) ("MSG Entertainment") announced today that New York Rangers legend Henrik Lundqvist will be joining both organizations in a unique new role that helps support business operations for each company. In this position, Lundqvist will be involved in numerous areas including representing MSG Sports and MSG Entertainment in a variety of partner and sponsorship endeavors, assisting with content development for digital platforms across both companies, growing and strengthening the connection with Rangers alumni, as well as lending his support with the Garden of Dreams Foundation. In addition, Lundqvist will once again be a lead studio analyst on MSG Network throughout the Rangers season.

It's great to see the King returning to New York where he can help grow the game and just maybe get the Stanley Cup his resume is lacking.
