Player Discussion Igor Shesterkin (Placed on IR)

[SnowblindNYR]

Igor Shesterkin to his friend Ilya "Anna" Sorokin after he gets his new contract.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Trade him for Rantanen ! RW problem solved.

Igor can be the highest paid goalie in the league. I have no issue with that. But he can't be the highest paid player on the Rangers. That makes no sense to me. That distinction should be for someone who, if healthy, plays every game.

Shety's ice time last season was almost twice the next highest.

Question here, if the Rangers tried trading Igor for a 12 million dollar center who is almost 29, do you guys think the other team would do the trade? If not then goalie is not that important of a position.

Would we swap Igor for Draisatl?

100%

Give him 10 / 8 and I can live with it

I thought 8 years was max.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Yes .

The rumors of Igor wanting a 4 or 5 year deal don't make much sense to me. That puts him up for a new contract at 33/34, and I don't think he'd get another big deal then.

What would be understandable to me is if he wants a 2 year deal. He'll only be 31 so it's plausible teams will give him 7 years, he's not at a huge risk of age related decline, and the cap will ostensibly have jumped up. It'd be a little risky, but if you want the most money you can get, I think that's the play.

How much would you be willing to give Shesterkin on a two year deal?

 

[Levitate]

Isn’t a two year deal even worse for the rangers if he’s asking 12+
Those are the years they need to resign guys with the cap still lower

 

[Row I Goon]

100%

Yeah. I would too.

100% not, was Oettinger a pending UFA or RFA?

Rfa

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Rfa

So different circumstances.

 

[tlk]

So different circumstances.

The Q still valid, if partially.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Does anyone else think that Bobrovsky is in his ear? I bet they're friends. He made bank AND won a cup. So he's probably telling him to make as much as he could and that it's possible to win with a highly paid goalie.

I wouldn't overcomplicate things.

Also, Bob's fam are pals with Panarin's. Shesty's with Sorokin.

I'd rather like to know what his agent is thinking.

 

[huerter]

Maybe Scott Boras is in his ear.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Give this guy his f***ing money already.

Missed the game

Was he tjat good tonight??

One of the best games of his career. I can't even imagine how high the xG was in this game.

 

[CasusBelli]

That was some display. I don’t like his prime donna attitude, but if his teammates are ok with him and he plays like this, do it.
