The Post’s Larry Brooks reported that the deal is worth $9 million with an average value of $3 million.

After Lindgren won the Players’ Player award, voted by his teammates as the player who “best exemplifies what it means to be a team player,” new president and general manager Chris Drury wasted no time in locking up the 23-year-old.

“It’s a huge honor,” Lindgren said Monday of the award. “Having guys on the team vote for it. Obviously there’s a lot of guys that could have easily won this award. But I’m very honored and it definitely means a lot to me. It’s very special, very cool to hear I won that and very excited.”
