Igor wants to be paid more than perennial playoff bust Panarin. He has a fair argument on that one. Drury may need to pay the man.

Boston has Swayman and Korpisalo for $11M+. I’ll take the Lou Sorokin/Varly special all day long over that combo as Korpisalo is average on a moonshot night.
 
And plenty here bemoaned spending that much money on a goalie tandem instead of signing a Dominque-type at league minimum.

To be fair, I think that was mostly because folks were theorizing about where a few USD could be saved in order to be able to afford a higher profile forward.

In any case, not a bone in my body feels any empathy for that group on broadway or about any possible revits in the fabric of the team that this circus could be causing (if any).

It's a laughable situation that should keep Drury's hands tied for a bit.

Saw about a period of the rags Pitt game last night. It’s only 1 period of 1 of 82 games, but the penguins look like shit.

Its possible. its also likely he just does not want to play for the rangers after this. who knows. In all honesty that is a horrible contract they offered him IMHO if they sign him for more then that its going to look bad in 4 years
 
The rags look like the central red army blowing by their competition last night. Well according to the fans in Gotham. Hopefully the good guys start off strong tonight. Lgi.

The first two weeks are usually weird as teams get settled, but LMAO at Dubas-Pens. Feel bad for Syd there.

Could be, it doesn’t seem like there’s animosity. More like he wants to be the highest paid guy on the team. I think he’s right based on their salary structure and individual performances.

Igor is 100% a franchise goalie and in the grand scheme of things is probably worth that contract but NYR aren't winning a cup with that contract
I know you have to pay your homegrown stars and of course goaltending is key to winning and going far in the NHL playoffs. Despite that, he has won nothing and don’t forget he looked like crap in the first half of last season.

Does he deserve a big contract? Indeed he does but I’m glad the AAV is going to be extremely high and this deal has the potential to be an albatross for the Rags in a few years. Fingers crossed.

He is without a doubt an elite/franchise tier goalie and all things considered he is probably worth the contact he wants... but yea the rangers aren't winning the cup if they give igor 12 million
 
On the Shesty topic: He’s also a punk and an embellisher. I hate that shit and it’s even worse coming from a Rags player. I’ll refrain from commenting on the occasional cheap shot he gives out. After all, I go back to the days of Billy Smith so….
