There isn't a goalie in the world I would take over Shesterkin if my goal was to contend through the next 5 years. He's been a stud in the playoffs for 3 straight years and I think he is the most technically sound goalie I've seen since Price. I'm happy to see the goalie market go through a re-set after a long stagnation. I'm also happy that we aren't in a position where we have to make a decision on that re-set.

Depends on how Hofer does. I could see him getting a solid chunk of change.

There isn't a goalie in the world I would take over Shesterkin. There also isn't a goalie in the world I would pay 10m per year for. It's an unfortunate issue since in a vacuum he is the best player in the league at his position, but also paying that position significant money is a great way to handcuff yourself.

I dunno - Florida had some pretty outstanding performances by Bob to win the Cup. Yea he had some stinkers too, but man Bob earned his money. Pretty good the year before too.

I just don't see why everyone thinks he's so great. Sure, he's good in the regular season but why hasn't NY won a cup with him? Don't give me this wah wah team sport thing when we all damn well that without Binnington we would have lost game 7 plain and simple. I would prefer a mediocre goalie ( not saying Binny is Mediocre) that can go lights out when the pressure is on. Most of us have waited several decades for a goalie to do that for us.
