22-Year-Old DefensemanD
Dallas Stars
2022 Fantasy Outlook
A highly regarded prospect, Lundkvist played 25 games with the Rangers early last season (one goal, four points) before being banished to AHL Hartford. Seeing no room for advancement in New York, Lundkvist wasn't going to report to training camp this fall, prompting a trade to Dallas in exchange for a 2023 first-round draft pick. The Swede is a creative offensive rearguard with a deceptively big shot, but his skating is just average and his game lacks physicality. The Stars, who have been stingy regarding moving high draft picks in the past, obviously saw enough in the 22-year-old to think he was worth the gamble. Read Past Outlooks
$Signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Rangers in June of 2021. Traded to Dallas in September of 2022.
Finds twine in OT loss
DDallas Stars
February 27, 2023
Lundkvist scored a goal on two shots in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Canucks.
ANALYSIS
Lundkvist's third-period tally was what forced overtime. It also snapped a seven-game point drought for the defenseman, who has struggled to contribute from a third-pairing role lately. He's at six goals, 16 points, 89 shots on net, 57 blocked shots, 45 hits, 26 PIM and a minus-5 rating through 53 contests overall. If the Stars add to their blue line at the trade deadline, Lundkvist's place in the lineup could be at risk.

2020 Fantasy Outlook
Lundkvist has already blossomed into one of the best defensemen in the Swedish Hockey League at just 20 years of age, and the 2018 first-round pick will immediately push for a spot on the Rangers upon his arrival in North America. That may not happen until next year, though Lundkvist could opt to move stateside as soon as March at the conclusion of his season with Lulea HF in his native country. He'll likely be blocked from power-play time on a Rangers blue line that already has Tony DeAngelo, Adam Fox and Jacob Trouba vying for roles with the extra man, but Lundkvist is a creative passer who can drive play in transition and should generate better than average offense for a defenseman once he settles in at the NHL level.
