I ditch Marner and offer him 12+ million dollars.

No more than $11m. Even that gives me pause, because I think adequate goaltending can be cheaper.

11, 11.5
If there's a rumour, or confirmed about the new TV deal and seems like the cap will go up a decent amount the next few years, then upwards of 13 per

I definitely wouldn't go over 12.
As a Habs fan I voted under 10, but I'd consider 10 to 12.
I don't like or trust him as much as Carey Price. I had no problem with Price's contract, and would have no problem paying higher for Price today.

The goaltender market is about to be reset in a big way. Gone are the days of just throw any big guy, put some humungous pads on him and hope for the best. You either need to go all out for an elite defense or pay up for an elite goaltender. Every Goaltender up for a contract should be looking at Florida winning the Cup with the highest AAV goaltender in the League who isn't even necessarily the best goaltender in the League and tell the GMs to eff off with "no we can't pay goaltenders" when players like Nylander, Marner and Tavares all get $11 million AAV.

I would honestly just pass on signing a goalie for anything over $10M.

I wouldn't bet too much on it.
SC winning goaltenders in the last ~13 years:
Bobrovsky - $10M
Adin Hill - $2.175M
Kuemper - $3.5M
Vasy - $3.5M and $9.5M (2)
Murray - $628K (2)
Binnington - $650K
Holtby - $6.1M
Crawford - $2.67M and $6M (2)
Quick - $1.8M and $2.9M (2)
10M = 1 cup
9+M = 1 cup
6+M = 2 cups
1-4M = 6 cups
Less than 1M = 3 cups

My point is you gotta pay a top goaltender the way you pay a top anything else. Like sure it’s awesome to have MacKinnon on a steal and makes it easier to win a cup, but you don’t just not pay MacKinnon because you don’t get him on a steal.

Both 6+M were among the higher contract when they were signed, no? I think that's a better way to view it. 4 cups have gone to goaltenders who earned some of the higher salaries in the league, while 9 cups have gone to goaltenders who were either young, unproven, or a flash in the pan.

Both Crawford and Holtby were the 6th highest paid goaltenders those years making about 30% less than the highest paid goaltender (Lunqvist at $8.5M.)
None of the above I wouldn't go over 7.5 over 5 years for a goalie
the position is too unpredictable nowadays

Everybody voting less than 10 , I get it , but you might as well just make the option *not sending an offer*
If the Rangers don't pay Shesterkin, I'm not sure who else would be in position to pony up to the ask...

If no other team cannot or will not even come close to paying that number, then the Rangers don't have to cave. That's my point. Having the highest paid goaltender by a long shot has not proven to be a great model for winning a cup.
Excellent post. And that vasi 9.5 mil number was the year they LTIR kucherov 9.5 mil caphit..

It is far more important to not have a bad goaltender than it is to have a great one.
Good enough, is by definition good enough.

I LOVE Shesterkin but I would not offer more than 9-9.5M a year. I also think if he goes to FA he's going to be a bit dissapointed with the offers. Not a lot of teams have 10M+ available and the one who does usually are rebuilding and aren't looking to get out of the basement. I'm sure Shesterkin also wouldn't be that pleased to go from a contender to a basement team for an extra 1M a year
