Maybe he lives up to it, maybe its Koskinen all over.
Its a stupid contract.

Update: you were right. It is a stupid contract. God awful really... for Shesterkin.

Had to bump this thread. This is literally ridiculous...
I always knew his contract was going to be an absolute steal, but my god it's worth like 1/3 of what it actually should be.
Shesterkin is statistically having one of the best seasons EVER by a goaltender.
In 37 games:
- 1st in SV% (.942 - Husso is second at .930)
- 1st in GAA (1.93 - Swayman is second at 2.03)
- 1st in GSAA (39.99 - Andersen is second at 21.67
)
- 1st in GSAA/60 (1.10 - Husso is second at .68
)
- 1st in HDSS (.886 - Husso is second at .864)
Shesterkin has literally been almost twice as good as the second best goalie in the NHL this season. His contract is an absolute joke and is BAR NONE the best contract in the NHL (sorry Lindholm).
He's literally saving over a goal a game. That is UNHEARD of.
For context, even if you add up the GSAA of Vasilevskiy's last 2 seasons (35.8 in 84 games), it still doesn't even come close to comparing to what Shesterkin has done in 37 games. It's almost laughable how unbelievable that is.
There should be no debate whatsoever who the MVP is this season. It'll probably go to a forward like usual, but that would make for one of the biggest snubs ever. Without Shesterkin, the Rangers are on the outside looking in.
As of right now, we are witnessing one of the greatest goaltending performances in NHL history, and that's not even being the least bit exaggerating.
