NHL Rumors: Igor Shesterkin’s New Salary Cap Hit Could Be $12 Million

Steve Kouleas: “One other horny storyline are the Rangers now, with the Devils both chasing them, or they chasing the Devils. Formally now they’re chasing the Devils as a result of the Rangers haven’t performed but. So the place are you on? You understand, type of a more recent fourth line. Reilly Smith is in. There’s some damage points proper now. Clearly, they’re going to harm at the beginning of the 12 months. And the cloud that everybody’s speaking about is Igor Shesterkin. Will that be $11 or $12 million distraction proper now? Mr. Pagnotta.”

David Pagnotta: “I imply, they don’t need it to be a distraction. He doesn’t need it to be a distraction. The crew definitely doesn’t. So we’ll see the place that goes. I feel every part that I’ve heard surrounding that was that this was going to be hovering across the $12 million mark, if not beginning with the 12 and time period, you understand, it’ll be long run.

Is it going to be a full eight that’ll finally rely upon the quantity? I feel they’ve mentioned a number of totally different eventualities right here, however, I imply, the purpose is clearly to get him locked in. The Rangers know that he’s their man, they usually can’t afford actually, to half with him at any level. You understand, even if you happen to play the complete season and let him stroll as a free agent, that’s that’s large hassle for that one, they know they will’t try this.

That leverage is what Shesterkin and his camp type of have in the intervening time. It’s precisely that. So, I feel there’s some, there’s going to be some give and take, and there was a little bit little bit of give and take, however he’s going to be the highest-paid goalie in NHL historical past by way of AAV, based mostly on time period that’ll finally dictate the whole quantity.

However can we get to an eight occasions 12 state of affairs? I feel, I feel they’ve been actually pressuring New York into getting one thing that begins with the 12. Once more, it’ll rely upon the time period. However there was this notion that, properly, as soon as the season begins, we don’t wish to, you understand, we wish to concentrate on the 12 months after which hunker down at negotiations.

That’s what the brokers report. So let Igor concentrate on his recreation and let Drury and firm deal with it with the brokers. And in the event that they don’t get one thing by the center of the season, then I can see a state of affairs the place they do shut issues down as a result of it’s taking place within the second half. You wish to concentrate on issues.

So, I don’t assume at this time (Wednesday) was a definitive deadline. I do assume that they will proceed discussions, perhaps, see, within the subsequent couple of weeks, if they may hammer one thing out, but when it doesn’t get accomplished sooner.

However they don’t need this to be a distraction. This can be a cup-contending crew. That’s what they wish to concentrate on. Is Igor locked into an extension now or later? I don’t assume to them it actually issues.”
