Somehow, I do not perceive that a June buyout would create a clean break between the franchise and the goaltender and allow Lundqvist to chart his own course to be more disrespectful than this, and I am not at all suggesting this is the organization’s intent. Management is trying to respect the Swede’s feelings but after all the flowery words, respect is measured by ice time.
