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

 

[lakeshirts37]

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

 

[jetsforever]

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.

 

[Hextallent63]

Does he want out of NY? Or does he think he will get 12-15 via FA?

 

[John Mandalorian]

Weekes always has a fresh fade on him.

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

You worked hard for that. But it was nicely done.

 

[TageGod]

Should have taken the deal, he is worth 100,000 per year less after that game.

 

[elmaco]

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

The thing is he actually showed he isn't bad in the playoffs anymore, Hellebuyck can't be held to the same standard before he does the same.

 

[Fatass]

When he doesn’t play fantastic the Rangers lose. They don’t have the club to win games unless he’s super. Rangers need this guy. 12.5 x 8. He wants to be a 100 million dollar player.

Pay him....more please! ; )

 

[Channelcat]

That's getting into the range where the Rangers might do better moving on.

 

[beowulf]

Who gives a f*** about cups Darcy Kuemper has one and he should be in the AHL

Not sure why he should be in the AHL...having a decent season 4-1-3 2.60 .900 and 1 SO not amazing numbers but not terrible.

I will put it this way if Shesterkin was a free agent and wanted to come to Pittsburgh. I'm throwing a 12 to 12.5 x 7 offer at him.

 

[centipede2233]

So instead of being a bottom 5 team you’ll be a playoff bubble team with a worse draft selection

 

[Devilsfan118]

Yea it will be terrible in 5 years when the cap is up another 20M lol. What ever will we do, gush I guess we will have to get rid of 8M elite defenseman Trouba now.

Do you think others players won't also command proportionate raises?

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Do you think others players won't also command proportionate raises?

Maybe star players. But you can still get sweetheart deals. Young players dont really go up drastically.

 

[ViD]

They can move on, but make no mistake, he will get that money in UFA

The right move would have been trade for Hellebuyck instead of EK65 and given him the 8.5 million deal he ended up getting, but instead we got the Kyle Dubas special!

Um everyone cares about cups. Kind of the goal of the sport, but carry on

Save percentage means very little in playoffs. It’s all about being able to battle and get the w

I mean dubas is dumb but just because you want someone doesn’t mean you can have him

Well we signed Crosby for 2 more years after this. Consistent goalies are hard to find I'd pounce on it.


Shesterkin + Blomqvist duo at 13.5 million.

Trade Ned to a team for a positive asset
Trade Jarry for a negative asset.

Trade Karlsson retained
Sign RD/LD defensively minded for money

Sure why not. Make moves.
