NY Rangers: Latest on Shesterkin, Oettinger, and Tavares Negotiations
NY Rangers Increase Offer to Shesterkin
The season is underway, raising the stakes for NY Rangers and their star goalie Shesterkin. Recent reports indicate that the Rangers have put forth a revised offer. Shesterkin has notably rejected an eight-year, $88 million proposal, reflecting the complexity of negotiations surrounding NY Rangers.
League sources assert that the Rangers are poised to pay more than the current highest cap hit for a goaltender—Carey Price’s $10.5 million AAV. A potential extension hinges on how both parties view Shesterkin's market value based on the rising salary cap.
Oettinger and Swayman Impact
Furthermore, Jake Oettinger in Dallas is caught in the crossfire. Swayman’s recent contract could significantly influence Oettinger’s upcoming negotiations, particularly as both players are comparable in age and performance.
Tavares and Maple Leafs Discussions
Meanwhile, the Toronto Maple Leafs are in talks with John Tavares, who desires to remain in Toronto. They must navigate the complexities of adjusting Tavares' current contract as they balance their salary cap alongside other crucial roster discussions, notably with Mitch Marner.
