Rangers superstar Igor Shesterkin puts the NHL on notice with latest statement regarding his extension
The New York Rangers will have Igor Shesterkin in the net tonight against the Blackhawks, and he issued a statement upon his return.
The highest-paid goalie in the NHL is now Igor Shesterkin after he and GM Chris Drury came to terms this weekend. His 8-year, $11.5 Million AAV deal has put him above Carey Price in terms of value and has eased his mind after it's ended.
Shesterkin has won the Vezina Trophy, and was part of the President's Trophy winning squad in 2023-2024, but is excited to be done and over with the contract negotiations.
Not to mention soon after sealing the deal, he welcomed a daughter into the world. A moment of pure joy for the young goaltender.
Shesterkin has his life set, a new contract, a daughter, and a loving family he can count on. Now he has set his eyes on the ultimate prize in the NHL and isn't backing down with his latest comment.
While he spared no sympathies for those he will face in the net soon, he spared a moment of gratitude for Rangers fans who have stuck with them through thick and thin.
The fans have shown him a huge amount of love, and compassion and have welcomed him into the city. He feels at home in the Big Apple.
Shesterkin has activated his dad powers and will return more motivated than before it sounds like.
Bad news for all opposing NHL squads.
