I’m glad we brought him back. Even if it’s just for the regular season and we add a legit top 4 D at the deadline like we did with Tanev and bump him down. For him to play 70+ games for us in the regular season was a win for a player at his salary. You mentioned it briefly but I think he’s really the kind of player who needs the right partner. Pairing him with Suter a bunch isn’t going to make a player like Lundqvist look good. For league minimum salary I would definitely take another season of Lundqvist who is right handed and could reach his potential with the right playing partner. He’s not a top 4 D like he was drafted to be, but he’s not being paid like one either and can have a positive return on his contract just by suiting up for many regular season games or filling in for injuries. The upside is there for a breakout with the right partner.

Considering what was brought in on the right side....what else is there to lose than playing him through his growth, whatever it is
