Rangers need to play hardball with Igor. $88M over 8 years!? I love Shesty, but that is at the very upper limits of what any goalie should be paid. And that contract would take him to the age of 37! If that's not good enough for him, let him see if he can find better elsewhere. We can get an excellent goalie for $5-7M a year max and use the other $4-6M to bring in one or two really solid players and/or make sure we can sign our young guys to extended contracts. No team can offer him more than 7 years, which means for them to match the $88M contract value, they'd have to offer him like $12.57M annually. Ridiculous. Good luck to him!
One aspect of the rejection I feel a lot of fans are overlooking is the term of the contract, yeah the AAV seems more than enough but 8 yrs is a huge commitment to any team and why during this so-called “last chance for this core” would Igor sign himself up for the long term if it means having to bear through more prime years wasted in retooling/rebuilding if things go south. Any fan who thinks he’s not worth that amount can think what they want but Igor isn’t dumb, he knows if the team wants to have him for essentially the rest of his career why wouldn’t he max his value out before being locked and if not, sign short term with the 5 yrs while he’s still young for an elite goalie, maybe get another big payday or move to somewhere where he can win.
We made a very fair offer. We shouldn't pay anything more.
This 🤡 said we😂😂😂
The 4th line will see different combinations all season. Very happy to see Edstrom in the line up. He is going to be a great addition.
Brod has payed his dues ..Good kid
They need speed on the 3rd and 4th line. Chytl and Brodzinski bring it.
Not Rangers fault …Huge offer was given !!
That’s little boy money, your poor so you would take it but not my kind
I would have capped Igor at $9.5/year. He turned his nose up at $11/year, for 8 years. I wouldn't go a penny higher...start working on Plan B (trade).
If I were Drury as soon as I heard that Igor turned down the offer I would have been on the phone to his agent asking for his 15 team list.
Disfunction already
Hey Igor, do you know the way to San Jose? Woh woh woh woh, oh no! 😅😇🤣
Can they put arbitrary metric bonuses in his contract that doesn't effect the salary cap?
Brod has zero impact in a line up

See ya, good luck with whatever bum you replace me with. And keep selling tickets, let’s see how many fans think you have a chance now
As he gets older his skills degrade. Igor's fame got to his head. Never say never on a trade.
Igor's agent can go pound snow. His demands threatens the rebuild for the next decade. I'd sooner give Laffy $8MM because he scores pucks on net.
They will pay him and it’ll hamstring the team for the next several years. Then he’ll cry that he has no team to help him out.
let igor go trade his ass away yet another diva
Trade Igor to Ottawa for Linus

I mean you ranger fans love to praise and obsess over every goalie you guys get so deal with his BS cause you guys wanted this.
I mean trolling is not wanted here, Pokémon.
SHESTORKIN IS GREEDY, TRADE HIM..
What ?????? Brodzinski over rempe ????? Not watching the game if rempe not in line up
Trade Igor for Mitch Marner
....+prospect or draft pick.
Haha
