No offense to anyone that likes Henrik L, but while he's very good, he acts like a primadonna and he's a "ME" type of guy. I think he's doomed with the Rangers as they seem to be having all sorts of issues right now (I don't really dislike the Rangers either, I think Ranger fans are more blinded by their hatred for the Islanders than vice versa).
Even if he leaves and goes to an organization like the Stars, it will effectively become the Lundqvist show. Great and elite goaltender, but he's very self-absorbed.
What are you basing his alleged primadonna, self-absorbed, and "ME" type of guy personality on? Better be a shocker, because I've never seen him come across like that in his interviews.
Even if he was a bit of a "me" type of guy, I see no big issue there. Seguin came with that tag too. Like serp said, Eddie had some serious anger management and drinking issues, and as long as he was able to win games for us, it didn't matter. The thing that concerns me is that when Eddie came to join the Stars at the age of 34, he had played 428 regular season and 68 playoff games. By comparison, Lundqvist, who would also join at the same age, if he were to, has played 620 regular season and 111 playoff games. I know it's an era where athletes have modern training techniques and stay in shape better, but he has to be exhausted bailing out NYR on a nightly basis. I wonder if he can actually play effectively till the end of his rather expensive deal, because $8.5M in cap-space is a lot of money.
