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

[Gil Gunderson]

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)

 

[Mick Riddleton]

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

 

[Breakers]

Crappy GM’s allow agents and players to make up their own comps

Good GM’s say here’s the goalie market, we’re willing to make you highest paid at this position with a slight bump.

 

[TGWL]

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

Asking for a friend

Well in the last 10 years only 1 goalie has won it twice.

Regardless of who is the best goalie, the team in front of you matters. Most are going to use his playoffs and the fact that NYR rely on goaltening a loy more than most teams. At the end of the day it doesnt matter who the best goalie is. It just matters how much you value that goalie.

 

[DarrylshutzSydor]

Maybe he just does not want to play for New York?

 

[CokenoPepsi]

I guess he wants 12 million a year.

So an extra 8 million over the lifetime of the deal, players get roughly 40% of their contract after everything so around 3.5 million net this is becoming
