Rangers and Igor Shesterkin agree to record-setting 8-year, $92 million deal

New York Times  

The New York Rangers and goalie Igor Shesterkin have agreed to a record-setting eight-year, $11.5 million average-annual-value contract, a league source confirmed to The Athletic on Friday, the largest deal for a goalie in NHL history. The deal comes on the heels of New York trading captain Jacob Trouba to the Anaheim Ducks earlier in the day, which cleared $8 million of cap space off the books for 2025-26, the year Shesterkin’s extension sets in. Questions about Shesterkin’s next deal can now be put to rest, and the Rangers front office can look ahead to other looming decisions, including how to upgrade their 2024-25 roster after clearing cap space with the Trouba trade. The fact that New York got out of his full $8 million cap hit gave the Rangers added flexibility, and now a lot of that cap space will go to Shesterkin’s new deal starting next season.
