The rangers have been atrocious in the playoffs in front of him.Lmao. This term means nothing anymore. “Generational” in 3 playoff runs, yet no Cups or even finals appearances; imagine that.

it might have to be a buyout depending on how airtight trouba's NTC is
It's the most important position in hockey and the only one really that can win and lose you games.
The whole goalies are voodoo is used by many fans as a reason to keep their cost down is crazy to me.
Sure they might have a few outlier careers but so does every athlete in sports but the top tier of goalies imo should be paid similar to what a top of pairing dman gets.
In this case particular, he's the best player on the rangers, he's their superstar who imo is the reason they win as much as they do and for that reason he deserves to be their highest paid player.
The asking price if he becomes available will be interesting. How much is one of the best goaltenders in the game worth knowing what his contract demands are?
There is simply far too much demand and nowhere near enough spots to make it worth paying even 10M let alone 12M in most cases. Shesterkin is incredible but is he really 2.5M more than Vasilevskiy or 3.5M more than Hellebuyck? Even if you argue he's better, it's a near negligible difference.
I also sincerely doubt any team will offer him that despite his resume. So unless he can create a bidding war, I don't see him getting 12M
You are using your own conclusions and letting them get in the way of the facts that exist here.He’s been good, not spectacular, in the playoffs since, and about league average in the regular season. That isn’t worth a record breaking contract, which always end up being mistakes, even in the best case scenarios.
Leafs nation if they have even the slightest possibility of landing Shesterkin...Nah we got Woll
The asking price would be absolutely zero. The Rangers could never trade him this season as that would guarantee a missed playoffs, and then he is a UFA once the season is done.The asking price if he becomes available will be interesting.
