Former New York Rangers defenseman Ryan Lindgren has signed a four-year, $18 million contract. Lindgren will earn $4.5 million per season as part of this deal.
After spending nearly seven seasons with the Rangers, Lindgren was traded to the Colorado Avalanche at around the time of the 2025 NHL Trade Deadline.
With Lindgren set to become an unrestricted free agent after the 2024-25 season and the Rangers falling out of the playoff picture, the team decided to trade the veteran defenseman.
For the majority of his time in New York, Lindgren was paired alongside Adam Fox. During Lindgren’s last season with the Rangers, the longstanding duo was split up and didn’t consistently play together.
The Rangers signed defenseman Vladislav Gavrikov to a seven-year, $49 million contract, and he will likely replace Lindgren as Fox’s permanent defensive partner.
