Martin St. Louis didn’t have an answer. At least not on this day.

In the wake of losing Game 7 of the Eastern Conference final to the Lightning on Friday, the Rangers held their year-end meetings Monday afternoon, and St. Louis, the future Hall of Fame winger who will turn 40 on June 18, wanted a little bit of time before he made a decision on his future. As an unrestricted free agent, St. Louis’ tenure on Broadway has almost assuredly dried up, and the question that remained was whether he was going to pursue his career elsewhere.

“As you get older, you always think about the following year, the next year and everything,” St. Louis said. “For me right now, of course I want to play, but I’m not sure which direction this team is going to go, either. So it’s tough to comment.

“But I’ve been blessed to play parts of two years here, in a great organization. We’ll see where that takes me.”

Coach Alain Vigneault said he had a long sit-down with St. Louis and assistant general manager Jeff Gorton. With next year’s salary cap still to be determined, along with the Rangers having to sign some restricted free agents and fill some holes up front, the meeting was beneficial for both sides.

“Marty has been a great player on this team, leadership-wise, example-wise,” Vigneault said. “He’s going to think about it, we’re going to find out where we are money-wise, and then go from there.”

Captain Ryan McDonagh came into the locker room on crutches, his broken right foot in a boot. He broke it blocking a shot in the second period of Game 4 against the Lightning, and almost couldn’t play Game 7 when the pregame “freezing” wasn’t taking effect.

Eventually, the top-pair defenseman had the foot wrapped in tape and jammed into his skate. He was unable to feel it throughout the game. He didn’t expect surgery would be needed, with a follow-up X-ray in the next couple of weeks.

“It was tough; I really had to simplify,” the first-year captain said. “I had to be pretty passive in my gap to make sure I wasn’t getting beat as often. I couldn’t be as aggressive offensively as I wanted to be and as you need to be to create. But I tried my best and the guys were very supportive.”

In addition to McDonagh’s injury, it was revealed Monday three other defenseman were injured during the playoffs.

Marc Staal played more than the final two months of the season with a hairline fracture in his left ankle, suffered while blocking a shot on March 21 in Carolina against the Hurricanes.

“It was a frustrating, kind of annoying thing,” Staal said. “It was right around where a couple ligaments were, so I kept playing on it, it kept swelling. It wasn’t really healing. I was just freezing it throughout the playoffs.”

Staal said the plan was to wait a couple weeks and see if it heals, and if not, there is a bone chip that has to be taken out.

Keith Yandle suffered a sprained AC joint in his shoulder when he was hit twice in the same shift by the Penguins’ Blake Comeau in Game 2 of the first round. He said it was getting better as the playoffs progressed, and while playing the Lightning, it was “close to 100 percent.”

Dan Girardi suffered a Grade 1 sprain of the MCL in his knee in Game 4 of the Lightning series and played on. He also needs fluid drained from his perpetually swollen left ankle.

The Rangers re-obtained their 2015 seventh-round pick from the Lightning on Monday, the pick they had sent to Tampa in the Ryan Callahan-St. Louis deal in March 2014. To get it back, they shipped off 21-year-old defenseman Daniel Walcott, who had been the Blueshirts’ fifth-round pick in 2014.
