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

That’s good. Worked out well for the Habs

What do the habs have to do with Igor?

Overpaying for a 30 year old goalie isn’t smart.

I hope the NYR do 12M for 8 years or something even more crazy

Lol 11.5M. Love it, this will be bad for the Rags.

nah

Hellebuyck's 8.5M AAV is looking like a steal compared to this guy

He sucks in the playoffs

He’s terrible in play offs

Shesterkin hasn't crapped the bed in the last two playoffs. If you're going to pay big dollars anyway you might as well get someone who can perform not just in the regular season.

Last two years in the post season:

.931 and .926 for Shesterkin, .886 and .864 for Hellebuyck.

nah


He sucks in the playoffs

Small sample sizes
Despite those 2 bad playoff years, he still has a career .910 playoff save percentage
Noticeably better than for example Bobrovsky, who happened to just win the Cup
Igor might be better in the playoffs (although note that Helle had similar stats after his first 4 playoff seasons like Igor has had) but I'm not sure about $3M+ better

Bob was known as being bad in the playoffs till he wasn't too.
