Rumor: Per Kevin Weekes. Shesterkin rejects NYRs $88M / 11M AAV offer

Only an idiot takes less than they are worth, I would never tell a friend of mine to take less money in order to keep the work team together.

The issue is the cap, it certainly isn't the players getting what they are worth.

How much you are worth is dictated by how much teams are willing to pay you. If nobody wants to pay 12M+ for a goalie, then you aren't worth that amount no matter how good you are. And I don't any team is going to offer him that amount. Hell, most of the competitive teams can't even if they wanted to.

Shesterkin is phenomenal but is he 3M better than say, Hellebuyck? No. He really isn't.

He and his agent must feel he is worth 12+, if the Rangers don't think he is then he will have to try one of the other teams in the league

Yes it is pretty silly to blame players for getting paid what they are worth when it's obviously a cap issue.
