Mandatory Credit: Brad Penner-USA TODAY SportsAny hopes that the New York Rangers would lock up franchise goaltender Igor Shesterkin before the start of the 2024-25 season will have to wait, it seems.
No goaltender in NHL history has ever made $11 million annually — Montreal Canadiens netminder Carey Price currently holds the record with a $10.5 million AAV. However, Mollie Walker of the New York Post reported back in June that Shesterkin’s representation is looking for as much as $12 million AAV.
It forecasts some trouble ahead for a Rangers team that still believes its window to contend for a Stanley Cup is firmly open. Should Shesterkin hit the open market, though, they are looking at the possibility of having to replace a franchise netminder.Pantorno is the executive sports editor of amNewYork — a position he has held since January 2020.
