Is 11.5M for the most overrated goalie in the history of hockey the worst contract in history?

[acor]

They were in an odd spot where some of the guys they already had were in their primes like Kreider and Mika, they signed a player who was in his prime (Panarin), added two top prospects (Kakko and Fox) and traded for another guy who was in his prime in Trouba.

So it's not like most core groups that are all drafted in consecutive years and come up through the ranks together while their team adds guys around the same age and molds it into a finished product.

I doubt Dolan would've ever signed off on a. true rebuild, but it was accelerated when Panarin & Fox fell into their laps.

Because Rangers rebuild, that was loudly announced in 2017 (or it was 2018? Don't remember) simply failed. BUT, during that failed rebuild something else happened- few high class players stated their interest in playing for Rangers and Rangers only. Then we got two choices- either "rebuild the rebuild" (and then risk going to the Sabre Zone), or take their offer, and buy oursleves a few competitive years.

Option B won, and Im not sad, had fun in those few years. No, we didn't win a cup, but we probably wouldn't win in other way as well. As for "true rebuild"- you always can do it later. There are teams that started their "rebuild" before NYR grandoise announcement and still are "rebuilding", lol.

Old Shersty stared down the Rangers with a pair of 2’s, J high and won the pot somehow.
Good for him.
LOL for the Rangers.

3 goals on 13 shots, uncluding one where he gave the puck away and it ended as a goal against. A f***ing cancer. I'd rather have Georgiev back. Just flat out robbed this organization.

Well maybe if he had some good defensemen infront of him.

The Rangers have been carried by goaltending for the better part of this century - year after year, mediocre teams pulled further than their ability by a goaltender standing on his head.

The minute one comes back down to earth, their fanbase loses their minds.

the minute one come back down to earth after signing a deal like that ......their fansbase loses their minds.
Looks good on the cocky Shesterkin.
Swayman too.
Bruins ans Rags have always had great goakrending. Now both gave over rated, over paid long term numms in between the pipes. Ki$$ the play offs good bye.

He came down to earth fast after last year. That contract and a few others on the Rags are not looking good. Something is off with this organization, or is it sign a deal, lay back and enjoy the location.
