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

[Nogatco Rd]

Brodeur did this his entire career. He and Lou never skipped a beat, never.

Sounds like Igor and his agent got greedy, and now this............

Gotta be a lot of trust between mgmt and player to pull that off.

It’s especially fraught if there is difference of opinion in player’s value.

Can Carolina pull it off? Not sure how much space they'll have next offseason but Burns/Orlov/Andersen is a decent chunk off the books. They’ve also struggled to get over the hump and could use better goaltending.

Maybe LA?

I don’t think this is a situation where NY is the only serious suitor. Vezina level goaltenders don’t hit the market often.

Carolina could do it, they have Orlov and Andersen coming off the books, those two alone are $10+ million in cap, then you have the cap rising by $4.5+ mill most likely too.

Generational fumble by Shesterkin. Never gonna be offered a contract like that again.

Off the charts hyperbole here. he’ll likely get very close if not more on the open market.

Igor f***ed up

Nah

having a goalie on a cheap deal makes a cheap goalie a very motivated goalie. Historically a lot of cup winning goalies were in a contract year or heading into 1 yr left where they signed that summer. The rangers are idiots if they go above their offer of 11 mil per.

Is this accurate or are you just pulling it out of your ass? way too lazy to look this up

 

[lakeshirts37]

Who else is gonna pay 11 million a year for a goalie???

Florida signed Bob to 10m aav five years ago. Are you really struggling to believe someone will sign Igor to 11m right as the cap is about to explode?

If he passed on $11 mill AAV or $88 mill in total what’s his number? $12 mill AAV or $96 mill total? More?

Leaving year 8 as worth $6-7 mill have to get like $90 mill over 7 for like $12.85 milll AAV.

I think he wants to be a 100m goalie

 

[lakeshirts37]

That's $11 mill per over 8 years and no way a team is paying $11 mill when he is 37. His deal is more front loaded and drops over time to where it would be in around $6-7 mill for that 8th year. So, he would need a low $80 mill offer as a UFA over 7 years to get him at least $11.5 mill or higher on an AAV. Then when he's done that deal, he'd have to find a 1 year deal at over $5 mill to come out even.

Klingberg passed on an 8 year deal, but once he hit the market, he was limited to 7 years, so harder to get that same money.

Respectfully, what the f*** are you talking about? Previous poster obviously meant aav. really dont need to discuss contract structure right now

 

[lakeshirts37]

$11 mill is 10% higher than Bob. A bunch of other 20 somethings signed for term and are all under $9 mill. So, at $11 mill he’s about 2.5 mill or so higher than the next guy.

To have him at $12-13 mill means he’s like 40-50% higher than the rest of the high paid goalies. Probably how the Rafa are looking at it. Thus maxing out at $11 mill.

Hey galaxy brain why dont you run the numbers on what the cap% is and not make comparisons to contracts signed six years ago

Absolutely.................it's crazy that Marty and Lou pulled this off. Kudos to both men.
Not sure if any other players did this with their GM or not.

Would never happen now that's for sure.

 

[Ignatius]

I honestly believe he doesn't want to play in New York anymore.

I can't put my finger on it but something just feels strange about this approach to the extension from both player and team.

I call it "pay to stay." Look at the Nurse contract, it's hard to attract people to either come to certain teams or stay with certain teams especially if they've already been there. I would not be surprised if Igor wanted out or at least if he just wants to pitch a fit like Sway did to get what he wants. Either way, he wins.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

So, $8M off the books, NYR can probably bump their offer another ~$1.5M if they wanted to now.

 

[Captain Controversy]

I guess Rangers have some more Cap space for Shesty. It's gonna be interesting to see what unfolds.

 

[Ryder71]

Shesterkin's patience pays off.

Apparently rejected 88 mil, gets 92 mil.

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

All done.11.5 it is.
