The #NYR have acquired forward Oscar Lindberg from Phoenix in exchange for forward Ethan Werek

He recorded the league's best faceoff percentage in 2008-09 (63.4), 2009-10 (60.4) and 2010-11 (69.6).
Lindberg is a guy that is a very solid defense-first centreman. Known for playing a solid two way game.
His offense/numbers won't blow you away, but this kid could one day be a very solid 3rd line center.
I think it's more of a case of - where was he going to fit on this team in the not too distant future? We have a plethora of potential 3rd/4th liners...
Anyone know the skinny on the player we acquired?

It would've been nice to have Werek, but eh. We have a lot of prospects that can fill the hole.
Also, could Werek have refused to sign a contract (I'm assuming that he could have). Perhaps he didn't want to be in the Rangers org, saw that we were too congested.

Weird.
Basically similar to Werek.
I'm thinking he fell out with management with his discipline problems in the OHL.
