Speculation: Shesterkin on contract: I love the team, I love the fans so of course it will be great to stay here. But you never know what’s going to happen

$10.75M would still put him at a record salary but not a record cap percent. Expect $11M but I'm actually not opposed to trading him for the right package.

Hope its high enough to handicap the rangers cap wise.... as this exact team has shown an elite goaltender is not enough to win a cup.

Who is his agent?

Honestly I think you are right Shesterkin is there best player.

Even though they have Fox and Panarin both studs. If I could have anyone on that team it would be Shesterkin

Panarin got 11.6 a few years ago. Can't see why Shesterkin shouldn't get more.

I can think of two reasons why. Goalies don't play 82 games and you can win a Stanley Cup without a superstar goalie. As good as Shesterkin is, the difference between him and a $6-8 million goalie isn't as great as a $6-8 million skater and Panarin.

You must’ve never seen those two players play in the playoffs.

Ok maybe Panarin is a bad example. The difference between a $10 million goalie and a $6 million goalie is likely to be less than a $10 or $6 million skater.
