Re: Official First Round of the NHL Playoffs Thread
Signing Chara to a long term deal should be a good move for the rangers. Teams that are rebuilding around youth still need a few veteran defenseman in the mix. Chara is only 28/29 and still has at least 5 more good years.
I think Lundqvist suffered toward the end of the season has to do with more then just playing too many games. It was a combination of an average defensive group in front of him, injuries, and a lack of confidence. He still young for a starting goalie and over the next few years he should turn into a fairly solid goalie.
That said, the rangers ran into the hottest team in the league.
