Man it's still so crazy to me that one of the best goaltenders in the league will only make 8.25M per season for 8 years but an absolute scrub in the NBA who plays like 12 minutes per night can make 10M per year on a 4 year contract then somehow get a pay raise.
If the nhl only had 10 man teams, and kept the same revenue it would happen here too

Considering there is no hard cap in the NBA is why. Also the salary cap is higher with a smaller roster.

Igor is about to look real stupid with his 12m ask, especially considering he plays for a contender in the most desirable destination to play in the league. Lol
Shesterkin is way more proven and just simply way better than a goalie like Oettinger and Swayman. Both of these goalies have had an elite playoffs to their name that lasted only 1 or 2 series, but neither have had consistent elite season/playoffs after elite season/playoffs to their name under a starters workload, and Shesterkin plays for the worst team of the 3.
