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.

To me the bigger issue is the term rather than the cap hit. I absolutely hate 8 year terms on goalies. Unless you’re talking a hall of fame caliber goalie there’s just too much variability in performance. Even for high end goalies.

With that logic you must have think Lundqvist must have sucked then.

 

[Bluesfan54]

Bruins could use some help in goal tonight.

A few things, I never said Shesterkin sucked, I said he's not that great and that he is good in the regular season, 2nd Lundqvist with a much worse team was able to take them to the finals.

Saying he’s not that great is pretty similar to saying he sucks. And he’s also not just been good in the regular season. He’s been dynamite in the playoffs.
