I'm surprised at the negative reaction(s) to this one.
Shesterkin, IMO, is already a top 5 goalie in the game at worst. If you watch him, you'll realize he's pretty much the complete package outside of size.
Puck reads are off the charts, ridiculous mobility/flexibility, extremely high effort levels, and is an incredibly smart goalie.
I have concerns about his play style combined with ability to stay healthy (i.e. groin/hips). But at four years, it's fine. This is a no-brainer deal.
