jsm7302 Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 4x.8.25 Lots of goalies taking 8mil....just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 Play out the year, let him go to unrestricted free agency where nobody will pay him there either. GM's simply stopped giving out double digit contracts for goalies, and rightfully so. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GM's simply stopped giving out double digit contracts for goalies, and rightfully so. This. Play out the year. Win or lose, take one last run at extending him again at the end of the year. If he won't play ball, let him walk. We'll have a better idea of what's available by then, anyway. Maybe Garand is ready for NHL duty. Maybe Quick is still good and wants to do another year. Maybe Logan Thompson, Karel Vejmelka, and/or Adin Hill make it to UFA. Maybe there's a trade to be made. All I know is the idea that the Rangers "have no choice" here is gaslighting bullshit. They absolutely have a choice. They may even have numerous choices. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather take my chances in the playoffs with an 8M goalie than take my chances on even making the playoffs with a 12M goalie. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Heaven Posted October 9 Author Share Posted October 9 If the NYR let Shesterkin test the market, Can someone realistically tell me what team would be able to pay Shesterkin 7 Years / 12M AAV? I can only assume that their would be a handful of teams that may even entertain the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albatrosss Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 Drury already offered him $11M, so its a pipe dream Shesty is signing for anything less with the Rangers. If the rangers back out he could end up taking less than $11M if no one offers anything else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 Even though he's one of our guys, he's still using New York to get the most money he can, be greedy about it, and hamstring the team financially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toronto would probably want him badly, especially if they lose in the playoffs again. Or Colorado (Geo is UFA). Chicago, maybe,too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happened last year with Hellebuyck, and he re-signed with Winnipeg because no other team would give him more. 24 minutes ago, Phil said: Hard to say.

TO and COL are cap teams, they aren't going to let Marner or Raantanen walk to pay a goalie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was already a huge appetite to move on last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could run him out of town, especially if the team flames out in the first round again. Could also be a real house cleaning in general (Shanahan).

I'm anti giving Shesty the world, but when you phrase it like this, only 4m more for probably the best goalie, especially best playoff goalie, seems better and more certain than where that extra 4m could go. I'd rather we get a cheaper than 8m goalie if no Shesty, ideally Garand would be a go and we'd end up saving maybe 10m from that 12m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get a cheaper goalie and still win. ~$8 million dollars is the going rate for top end goalies...Sorokin, Hellebuyck, Swayman... But there's a bunch of other goalies who made much less even percentage-wise against the cap who have won Stanley cups. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
