It's unconventional to give a goal tender this type of money on a second contract. Than again, 9 million plus per year defenceman were pretty rare prior to this offseason too.
Most indicators are that Shesterkin looks to be on track to become an elite goaltender.
It's the Rangers so I hope he finds a way to make DeAngelo look like a Saint and force the Rangers to buy him out. But I don't think I'll get my wish here.
Oddly enough, despite denying the 94 Canucks the Stanley Cup I just don't have any level of admiration for the Rangers the way I do for teams like the Islanders, Hurricanes or Bruins.
