Thoughts: Saying Henrik Lundqvist is the Rangers best player would be the understatement of the century. Lundqvist is far and away the reason that the Rangers made the playoffs this season and the only reason that the team went to seven games with the Capitals. There isn’t much more to say about Lundqvist, he is the Rangers MVP and probably always will be as long as he is on the team.
