He is going to be great for the Rangers on that 3rd pair, especially when they bring in Lundqvist. They will be really good pair and he can help mentor him as a fellow Swede.
The amount of "this is an overpay" comments I am seeing for a 3 year/2.5 mil AAV is mind boggling. It literally is the perfect contract for a 29 year old 3rd pair D man.
