Hope rags give shesty 13 million. Bruins fan.

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

8x11 rejected...good luck Rangers.

 

[I am Bettman]

Shesterkin saw the opportunity the Swayman deal created for him.

 

[hamzarocks]

Weekes always has a fresh fade on him.

Shesterkin is going to fade the rangers cup chances chasing 12-13M

 

[BleedBlue14]

My lord. Does anyone know what Bobs percentage of the cap was when he signed with Florida? Wonder how it compares.

 

[NYR94]

Igor wants those sheets

 

[WarriorofTime]

Goalie market is being reset. You have a top Goaltender that you don't want to lose, you pay him like you do every other top player. Why should arguably the game's best goaltender take less than Will Nye with one 10th place in point finishes as his high watermark before signing?

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

That is nuts

Rangers time to look forward to post Shesterkin era at this point

And frankly that contract is absurd offer to begin with as he only had 1 elite year and has been pedestrian since and will turn 29 in a couple months

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.

 

[Sol]

Rangers are going to regret signing this guy in the future. Way too much money for a goalie of the modern era.

 

[jetsforever]

That's an insane contract to reject - he better hope he doesn't have a down year
Also how does Weekes always find these ridiculous places to report from

 

[Malkinstheman]

My lord. Does anyone know what Bobs percentage of the cap was when he signed with Florida? Wonder how it compares.

10.5/81.5 = 12.88%

Assuming the cap goes up to 92M next year, Shesterkin's floor would be 11.85m

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Why does Kevin Weeks insist on me looking at his forehead?

 

[MartyOwns]

excellent, excellent

 

[FlyguyOX]

Insane

 

[Breakers]

LOL
How can you have that high of an AAV for a guy who sits on the bench for 30 games?????

 

[Mr Kot]

Kind of strange, normally people are clamouring to play in NY. Does he want out? No way he is worth 12+

 

[My3Sons]

he's probably the most important player on the Rangers and he's at the very top of the goaltending ladder right now but realistically what team is paying him much more than that? What team says they are only a $12.5 million dollar goaltender (over 7 years) away from the cup?

 

[Suntouchable13]

I’d offer him Marner money in free agency if I was the Leafs. I think he is worth it.

 

[Nikki Potnick]

No one else is going to pay him more than 12.5/yr, so if I was the Rangers, this would be my final offer. Which, in the end, he will take.

 

[Raspewtin]

just don't want him at that rate. even $11M is too much. NYR's culture of goalies masking shit defenses needs to end.

That is nuts

Rangers time to look forward to post Shesterkin era at this point

And frankly that contract is absurd offer to begin with as he only had 1 elite year and has been pedestrian since and will turn 29 in a couple months

counterpoint: he's been, beyond any doubt, the best playoff goalie in the league since he got in

 

[UnSandvich]

Welp, bye Igor

88 million over 8 years would qualify wouldn't it?

 

[Romang67]

This is shaping up to be a whole lot of money for a goalie who will play almost that entire contract in his 30s.
