Confirmed Signing with Link: [NYR] G Igor Shesterkin signs extension with the Rangers (8 years, $11.5m AAV)

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

So they dumped their overpaid captain to free up cap to overpay their goalie.

The goalie can still play at an elite level at least

 

[Machinehead]

I mean, what else was New York going to do, trade him?

Yes!

 

[SI90]

Yikes!!! lol insane AAV long term for a goalie. Even for a top5 goalie

 

[Shark Finn]

No, Shesterkin, not Quick.

funny

 

[Zeeker]

Of course Rangers fans are upset that they kept their best player - and only reason for recent playoff relevance

Dumped a subpar player and horrible contract and gave that money to their franchise goalie. With a quickly rising cap I doubt this will be too much of an issue. Goalies of his level are huge difference makers.

 

[Oak]

Yes!

If Shesterkin leaves the Rangers are no longer a playoff team for years to come. They didn't really have an option.

You're approaching the point.

And Drury gives out horrific extension to Shesterkin

I like Shesterkin but lets be honest. His one elite season was years ago and he is about to turn 29. He isn't a Henrik Lundqvist

This is going to be a deal they regret

 

[WarriorofTime]

lol like clockwork

 

[tnnr]

holy the rangers will never win anyything

 

[Bounces R Way]

woah mama

Good!! Most of us want to rebuild since we aborted the last one to just have another version of the Lundqvist teams that didn't work.

 

[minibrodeur]

For his sake I hope he negotiated a 8year NMC lol

 

[TheStuntman]

Drury needs to send Verbeek a nice gift for allowing this to happen.

 

[CascadiaPuck]

Dassa lotta moola.

need to to change the news-cycle after the trouba fiasco... overpay but necessary

He’s still a top5 goalie but I’ll glad you pointed out that 1 elite season. Insane they caved and gave him this contract.

 

[MCR74]

Love it!

 

[EdJovanovski]

STEAL!
Legit worst team in the league with an average goaltender. They control play less than the Ducks, Habs, Hawks and look far less dynamic than any of them. Screw Igor haters.

[TheDoldrums]

Man imagine if the Leafs got Shesterkin. Their top two goalies would be Anthony Stolarz and Joseph Woll.

Seems like you were upset by most of your posts.
