Proposal: (COL) Rantanen for (NYR) Shesterkin

[benfranklin]

F it. The Avs have 3 of the top 7 scorers in the league, arguably the best player at each F and D position, and cant win a game because they give the other team 2-3 free goals to start every other game. Georgiev is a coin flip at best, Annunnen is an AHL goalie, and the only hope we have is 21 yo Russian who could be years away still.

Its dumb AF to give a goalie $11M+, but Shesterkin could easily be the difference putting the Avs on par with the Jets/Stars in the West.

Rantanen likely deserves $11-12.5M as well and I'm sure Rangers fans would love him, but at that price and worth letting Igor go?

Shesty on the Avs and they probably win multiple cups in the next few years.

Rangers without Shesty and its dark times ahead.

Regardless I dont see this happening.

I fully expect the Jets to fall off and look like they did in last years playoffs, but they look great as of this moment.

i think teams would be better off with rantanen.

I just thought it was funny to see the Jets labeled as superior to the Avs given the teams' performance relative to each other the past few years.

100% agree. The Stars scare me though.

Colorado already won a Cup without an elite goalie

Getting rid of a consistent top-10 scorer in the league seems like a bad move in my opinion.

Getting Landeskog back at even 80% would make that roster look very similar, but holy hell this team is awful to watch right now. Goalies cant save anything. 3rd in the league in goals against.

Last night was
2 goals on 2 shots
3 goals on 6 shots
4 goals on 10 shots

Rangers could win a cup if Shersterkin puts them on his shoulders. I don't think they could win with Rantanen carrying them. For that reason, it's a no
