A bit off topic; but with regards to Shesterkin's pending UFA next summer and his salary demands become ridiculous/unrealistic; was Mike Richter a pending UFA when the Rangers (supposedly) almost had him trade to St. Louis, but then he either tore his ACL or suffered a concussion? This would've been late 1990s-early 2000s; the package coming back was I believe Goalie Brent Johnson, Christian Backman, I think a 1st rd draft pick and I think something else, though I could be mistaken.
I do know there are differences in the Shesterkin/Richter scenario; when Richter was almost moved, there was no salary cap and the team was awful. Now; obviously, there's a Cap and the team just went to its 2nd Eastern Conference Final in 3 years and is expected to be a playoff team for the next few years.
