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

Dude at 11M AAV or higher is going to gut their team, Jesus.

I know he's insane but no joke I would rather sign another tandem for ~7M or 8M AAV total. It's very possible to do that and be competitive.

The Zibanejad contract is way worse for their competitive standing than Igor at 13-14M. I don't see how people are legit arguing that the best goaltender in the world and the guy who's consistently lights out isn't worth his ask.

If he’s the best goaltender how come he didn’t win the vezina the past 2 seasons

Asking for a friend

He had a horrendous start last year and still finished 4th in the Vezina race and then 22-23 he was probably the frontrunner until like March where I specifically remember the Devils bombed him in a game and had a few bad games before the playoffs started and then he had a .930 v NJ in round 1 and had no business losing that series

Panarin got an 11.65 mil AAV 5 years ago when the cap was much lower. Completely reasonable from Igor’s camp.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Igor: 2.58/.913
vs
Quick: 2.62/.911

got to pay a 12 million dollar premium for that extra .04/.002

Show their playoffs numbers the last season too. (You know, the games that matter, not Quick playing against bottom teams in the reg season)

Huge win for the goalie market. He is looking at 12 million or more and has the rags over a barrel.
