Rumor: Shesterkin’s camp is aiming for a contract which would equate to a netminding record of $12.9M

[EdJovanovski]

Doubt he actually gets that, this is clickbait off of early negotiations. But honestly he's pretty damn near worth that. He is generational and if you swap him with an average goalie I don't think we're even in the playoffs let alone going to the ECF.

Only $12.9M? Why shoot so low, Igor? You're worth $14M easily. Demand that out of the rags.

I don't think anyone else is gonna argue against that but you still don't just hand him a blank check imo. The issue isn't Igor's next pay day, it's the rest of the NYR roster with some bloated contracts. Fox/Shesty making 20-21M is fine considering Fox took a discount imo

 

[CanadienShark]

Ouch. I'm glad to hear it.

 

[KevinRedkey]

My guess is 85 million over 8yrs for 10.625, making him the highest paid goalie in the league.

Can we please slow roll the generational?? I'm sorry but that's ridiculous. Good goalie sometimes great...but NOWHERE NEAR generational.

 

[Jacob]

Anything less is a slap in the face!

He’s not worth it

 

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

Yikes. No goalie is, or should be worth, that much. I didn’t even like paying Bobrovsky what he’s making and he just won us the cup.

Even though Bob just won a Cup, even him is not quite worth the 10M cap hit with long term. Igor would be fortunate to squeeze an extra 500K, let alone 3M.

 

[Chaos2k7]

Shesty is a damn good goalie but he needs to think about the rest of the roster, unless he plans to HAVE to stand on his head every year to even have a chance of winning. If you want to be the top paid at your position, the expectations change with it.

Multiple Vezinas and a couple cups minimum, and it still would be a terrible deal. They couldn't get over the hump now, now start taking depth away...

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

This is what happens when you put up a .950SV% in the playoffs over the course of 3 rounds.

 

[SEALBound]

See if Nashville would pay it. Ask for Saros or Askarov.

[themelkman]

Cap is going up. This is probably just his initial pitch and I would expect his deal to be around 10mil

 

[EdJovanovski]

“hE’s WoRtH dRaIsAtL”

He’s worth way more than Draisaitl

 

[Xirik]

Well.. Price got one cup final out of his contract.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

in 2024 hockey , u dont pay goalies that much. They are not worth it.

but we heard 150 000 times that the cap will go up so i guess it wont matter

 

[viper0220]

Shesterkin for Kadri and Vladar, who says no?​

 

[eviohh26]

Is he really worth more than 2 Demkos?

 

[CaptainScrewy]

I cant tell if you are trolling lol. Who the hell made this graph?

 

[viper0220]

He’s not worth it

Trade him than.

 

[EXTRAS]

Gotta fund that war effort somehow.

Putin's way of making the Americans pay for his war.

 

[Troublesome 85]

He must be on performance enhancing drugs to think hell get that
