Henrik Lundqvist, 38, has a heavy season behind him and the future of the New York Rangers is uncertain. It has been speculated that the star goalkeeper, who has a year left on his contract, is about to be bought from the NHL club he has represented since 2005 and has become a great icon.
Frölunda sporting director Fredrik Sjöström previously had to answer questions about whether a comeback might be relevant for the Rangers star. The sporting director has had regular contact with Lundqvist.
– Yes, we are good friends on a personal level and we are. I understand the question, but on a professional level … he has a contract with New York Rangers and we cannot comment on anyone who has a contract with another club and also in another league. I understand that there is a lot of talk about him, but at the moment we cannot comment, Sjöström told GT this spring.
“Will not be”
At Frölunda, Joel Lundqvist, 38, is the team captain. He has been involved and won four Swedish gold championships with the club. In 2003 and 2005 he won with his twin brother.
But there will be no meeting in Frölunda. Joel Lundqvist, who previously described it as “a long shot,” now speaks clearly when he says:
– No. That door is closed. I can say that. It won’t be, Joel Lundqvist tells Hockeynews.se.
Frölunda’s captain continues on the future of “Henke”:
– There are many things that come into play in such a decision. But I get that question constantly and just to kill the speculation and other things. Will not be.
On Friday, the first “buy” window opened in the NHL. It is open until October 8.
At Frölunda, Niklas Rubin has kept a clean sheet in the first two games (3-0 at home against HV71 and 2-0 away against Djurgården) of the SHL season.
