The New York Rangers have made a move post-Jacob Trouba, and the first order of business was to sign goalie Igor Shesterkin.
It was reported by NHL Insider Kevin Weekes today, that GM Chris Drury and the New York Rangers have signed Shesterkin to an 8-year contract. The deal is reported to pay between $11.5 Million to $12 Million AAV for the superstar goalie.
Igor Shesterkin has been the Rangers #1 goalie since the exodus of Henrik Lundqvist. He’s being paid handsomely for his efforts in the net, which helped push the team to the Eastern Conference finals in 2023-2024.
The New York Rangers have used their new-found cap space relatively quickly. ESPN’s Kevin Weekes reports the Rangers have signed goaltender Igor Shesterkin to an eight-year extension paying the netminder between $11.5MM and $12MM a year. Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman confirmed it will be an eight-year, $92MM extension for Shesterkin.
This season Shesterkin’s been a reliable backstop, as he’s played 18 games for the Rangers this season, with an 8-9-1 record, 3.05 GAA, and an .908 save percentage.
He’s done his best to shoulder the burden of one of the weakest Rangers teams constructed and maintained a save percentage above .900 all the while.
With now ex-Captain Jacob Trouba out, the Rangers found an extra $8 Million to allocate to signing their Vezina Trophy-winning goalie.
This deal puts him above the Montreal Canadiens Carey Price $10.5 Million dollar deal, as the highest-paid goalie in the NHL.
He will wear a Blueshirt for the next season, and will hopefully be the one to backstop them to a Stanley Cup championship.
