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

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

10.5/81.5 = 12.88%

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

Bob's cap hit is 10. I think only Price reached 10.5. So it was 12.27%.

 

[Savant]

Sure it does, relatively unproven goalie gets 8.25, so proven franchise goalie can ask for way more than that now.

No it doesn’t. That’s like saying Connor McDavid can ask for more money because Seth Jarvis got paid.

It’s two completely different markets

LOL lists a sport with no salary cap

LOL teams still have payrolls

LOL teams still have payrolls

and that still doesnt change the fact that baseball doesnt have a salary cap and you tried to make that link
LOLOLOLOL

 

[LemonSauceD]

I honestly don’t think there’s a single team that would take Shesterkin (or any goalie) at $11M until the cap jumps significantly more.

Why spend $11-12M when you can just wait until the cap goes up so you don’t take up valuable purchasing power you have right now.

Baseball does have a luxury tax.

 

[Gliff]

BYE!!!

Seriously though, that is crazy.

 

[The Grinder]

The takes that Shesterkin is not worth more than 11 mil AAV are hilarious. Have you watched him the last three postseasons? The guy IS the reason the Rangers have had any success at all there.

 

[Hodge]

William Nylander makes $11.5M a year. The best goalie in the league is worth more than the ~10th best winger.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

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

Clearly mocking people like me who's hair is slowly losing ground in fight on top of my head (Sadly the rate of loss increasing)

Sure, but they will spend more on soft wingers that never win you anything when it counts?

So what?
its still a sport without a cap, that comparison is wild. You can still have billionaires get into pissing matches with contracts.

he wasnt even top 5 in quality starts for goalies.

 

[Soul Assumption]

He probably wants 11.25

 

[wintersej]

Its also not "resetting" the goalie market. I believe Lundqvist and Price were around 13.2% of the cap when their contracts kicked in, so he's probably looking for a AAV north of 12M (assuming a cap of 92M)

It’s resetting BACK to that vs the Helly, Saros level contracts.

Take the L, if you ever learn anything about the real world, you'll know every organization's resources are finite. A "salary cap" doesn't mean pitchers won't still occupy a high percentage of payroll. Nice try on the failed "gotcha".

 

[hockey20000]

LOL im sorry but idc who the goalie is if hes turning down 11million id be saying let the door hit you in the ass on way out i'll take my chances trading for one.

 

[Captain Mountain]

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

34 goalies had a higher time on ice last season than John Carlson, who lead skaters in TOI.

This argument never really holds any water with goalies, since starters are technically on the bench less than any skater.

Its about the opportunity cost. And Shesterkin, like Swayman, is willing to bet that the degree of difficulty to replace him and the demand for elite goaltending justifies it.

Depends on what the tandem would make. Assuming the backup next year makes around the same or less than Quick, ~$13million for a goalie tandem is basically what Florida has and won the cup with. It's doable as long as the rest of the team is built around it. I also think Trouba is on his way out by next year to fit in Igor.

Exactly! Which is why they need to cut bait. Our core kinda sucks, is getting old, and now we will have no cap space to help build.

Go all in this year, but if they fall short…. I would start looking at what assets to sell such as panarin, keeider etc who are at the end of their contracts and could still get a haul. Staying wjth Shesty is just maskjng the actual problem.

No elite 1c. And paying shesty wont fix that problem.

 

[TGWL]

LOL

Because they don't sit on the bench for 40 mins in the games they do play?

and what's this salary compared to swayman? 30% higher?

 

[EdJovanovski]

Worth every penny, he is as clearly the best goalie in the league as McDavid is the best player imo. Rangers made a big mistake not signing him to max term on his last contract, I remember being one of the few people complaining that we should've signed him longer. Others thought we signed him too long for too much LOL

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

You can thank Swayman as he set the bar. A guy who is entering his very first year as a full-time starter gets $8.5M a year, ridiculous That means Shesterkin should get double that a year.

 

[GaboriklessWild]

How lame are the Rangers for specifically telling the dude to write this: "Stanley Cup contending & cap spending @NYRangers"

You tried to sound intelligent
