Value of: Shesterkin

[Scintillating10]

How much will his new contract be? He should be around Carey Price's 10.5 million or Bobrovsky's 10 million.

[The Don Hughes]

rumour is that he might ask as high as $12M AAV

 

[WTFMAN99]

I think they get him in 8 years 9.5M per

 

[Hockeyholic]

Would the Rangers pay him 12 million per? That's a ridiculous amount

Rangers have many big raises due this summer and next.

I'm not sure how reliable this info is. but here:
Rangers’ Igor Shesterkin could aim for historic contract after dominant playoff run

Boyle mentions it at some point about 2/3rds of the way in.

I mean good for him. He has the Rangers by the balls and just likely had his best postseason he will ever have and is cashing in.

Plus as a Leafs fan it's nice to see another team have a player say f*** you pay me

So the last time this happened, I started a thread called something like "Is Henrik really in the driver's seat". My question at the time was who were the teams that could actually put together an offer that would would break the bank for Lundqvist.

The idea was basically that the Rangers were going to be their own worst enemy and overpay Henrik because they were afraid to lose him, but that really, there were no teams out there in pisition to make it happen.

So today, who can throw 12m at a goaltender? Who has that kind of space to add any UFA right now at that price? More importantly, the league has shown that you can overcome not having the best goaltender if you can score and give your guy support. It's not a good place to spend your money.

I will say it now, giving him 12m would be a distaster. He is on the young end of the Rangers core. That means that should he resign with the Rangers, you're looking at probably 3-4 years and you're going to be in the process of a total roster overhaul/rebuild.

The worst thing to be IMO, is a team with a bad roster and a great goalie. You're never good enough to win it all and never bad enough for it to make you better. Hockey Purgatory.

I ask immediately what Igor is thinking contract wise. If that number starts with double digits, I think you call the bluff and offer him 8-9m per. I don't want 8 yrs, either. There would be no way to have a 36 yr old Igor at that hit. You will be a rich man at 8-9m per. You will be the second hall of fame goaltender in a row to finish his career with no cup if you make it 10m or more.

Love it or hate it, his next contract is going to start at 10+ million, it's a question of how much above that he goes. He's been the best goalie in the league overall for the last 3 seasons (imo) and elevates his play in the playoffs (His career sv% in the playoffs is an absurd .928). If 30 year old Hellebuyck signed for 8.5 million aav on max term, 28 year old Shesterkin deserves to be getting 10+ million

 

[AirGut]

think Drury gets him in at anywhere from 9.5M-11.5M, they'll settle on a good number like they did with Lundqvist,
Shestyorkin deserves it after these past 4 years.

 

[BillR10]

Looking at his track record, what Sorokin got recently, and the percent of cap Bob got at the time of his signing, I can defintely see Igor getting 10+mil per with 11per being attainable

 

[pld459666]

I trade him before he gets a penny over 9.5

 

[JKG33]

Funny you bring up the Leafs, because Shesterkin could easily look at the Matthews contract and say "I'm far more important to my team's success than he is, and I actually show up in the playoffs"

Hell he can look at Panarin and say the same thing

 

[Forge]

Link?

Elliott also mentioned today that when you look at percentage of the cap, price got about 14%. Based on expected cap for when his extension starts, that would be about 12+.

That said, I dunno if Igor is going to go all out for that. I think he gets high 10 or 11.

There's no reason that he shouldn't be the highest paid goalie in the league given how long ago those price and Bob contracts were signed.

 

[seanlinden]

I think the league is trending away from highly paid goalies, simply due to the propensity of lesser paid goalies getting hot.

That being said, he's clearly the most valuable goalie in the league, and we are finally in a position of substantial cap increases. If it were my guess, he goes $11m x 8, making him the highest paid goalie ever; even if he might be leaving a little money on the table over time.

Ouch. That’ll leave a maple leaf-shaped mark.

I dunno about that, of the last 10 starting goalies in the finals 6 have been well paid. (Vasi x3, Bob x2, Price)

 

[Filthy Dangles]

A good argument would be that he essentially saves you a goal above expected per game in the playoffs.

40.5 GSAE in 44 games

Almost like a handicap for other team, putting your team up 1-0 on average.

Not saying NYR will/should do it though.

I read this and thought.. when the hell did Montreal make it to the finals.... 2021 must of been the year I took off from hockey due to Sabres sucking so bad.

How the hell did Tampa end up playing Montreal in the finals? .. Im flabbergasted

Haha I don't blame ya. Covid and Canada's incompetence lead to the worst division the league has seen since the original expansion, and conferences didn't exist that year either

Cap is going to go up another 4-5mil that season. There will be multiple teams going for him at that price if he's around July 1st.

Rangers’ Igor Shesterkin could aim for historic contract after dominant playoff run

Igor Shesterkin was the Rangers’ best player in the playoffs and that is the way it will have to be if the club hopes to win the Stanley Cup in the foreseeable future.

The Canada Division was terrible, and then Price played great and Fleury played terrible so they upset Vegas.
