Rangers’ Chris Drury glad to have ‘certainty’ with Igor Shesterkin’s $92 million contract
NY Post
The Rangers have made Igor Shesterkin’s extended New York stay official.
In another crucial wrinkle in Friday’s events, the Blueshirts made a commitment to the goalkeeper of six years on an eight-year, $92 million contract extension.
The deal would give him an annual average value of $11.5 million, which makes for a league record.Rangers general manager Chris Drury confirmed the deal Saturday afternoon.
The extension, along with Jacob Trouba’s divorce from the Rangers, gives a lot of cap space to the team — just over $20 million at the trade deadline.
“It’s really nice to have it done,” Drury said on a Zoom call to reporters Saturday. “To have the certainty with the position and knowing what the cap hit is going to be moving forward. We’re excited to get it done. Excited to move forward with him.”
With Shesterkin locked in and Trouba’s $8 million cap hit out of the Rangers’ hair, Drury said he is not against making more moves down the line to help the team, which found itself in a 1-6 rut before Friday’s 4-2 win over the Penguins.
