Igor Shesterkin Reportedly Signs Historic Contract Extension With Rangers

According to Emily Kaplan and Kevin Weekes of ESPN, Igor Shesterkin and the New York Rangers have agreed to an eight-year contract extension worth between $11.5-12 million per season.

The New York Post reports that it’s an eight-year, $92 million contract extension.

This comes after the Rangers traded Jacob Trouba to the Anaheim Ducks as the team shed Troubas $8 million cap hit.

Prior to the start of the season, Shesterkin reportedly rejected an eight-year $11 million extension from New York.

This new reported contract will make Shesterkin the highest paid goalie in NHL history, surpassing Carey Prices previous deal that earned him $10.5 million AAV.

Through 18 games this season, the 28-year-old goaltender has an 8-9-1 record, 3.05 goals against average and .908 save percentage.
