Player Discussion Igor Shesterkin

[Zats Muccarello]

Good interview, for those that don't speak Russian can use the auto translated subtitles. At one point (24 minutes in) Igor talks about the contention window and how the whole 2 years left theory is untrue and that things can change from one year to the next. He specifically calls out Kakko as a breakout candidate and says he sees how hard he trains and how he plays with potential to do more.

Awesome find, thanks for sharing! From Igor's mouth to God's ears!

His playoff performance is still him at his best.

Breakout year for Kakko. Thanks for the heads up Shesty. Will draft in fantasy.

It’s being heavily discussed in the RBT.

I like Igor and probably the best goalie to put on the jersey. Very good teammate with little drama.. but you cannot pay a goalie that much and field a great team..

It's less as a percentage of the cap than Bobrovsky got, and the Panthers won the cup.

I think this is the general consensus. See ya Igor. Good luck elsewhere.

Get the biggest effing haul ever, I do not give a rats butt about the season, nor about the best goalie. Get me two firsts, A-tier goalie prospect +

We can not afford another albatross contract. We can't afford it on the goalie and we have to get something for shest.
No way we just let him walk to FA.

 

[QJL]

Yeah, I’m done with him.

One of the biggest mistakes the front office has made in the past decade was not signing Igor to 8 years x 7-8M. I said this on page 1 of the contract thread the day he signed.

Trade him now.

I have a feeling that contract didnt get signed bc Shesty disnt want it. He wants to be paid 1C money.

I said this in another post/thread, but more than okay trading Igor at this point. 8/88 is more than a fair contract and would have also made him the highest paid goalie in NHL history.
