“Hey, when it’s all stated and performed, he would be the highest-paid goalie in league historical past. And I believe simply primarily based on the timing, he’s very deserving of that now, at this time limit.
As I stated initially after I first broke this story, that deal, the provide of 88, eight years, $11 million a yr, instances eight. As I stated, $88 million would make him the highest-paid goalie of all time. That eclipses Carey Worth‘s 10 and a half million that he had, and deservedly so.
I believe the large problem is for Igor and the Rangers. That is occurring for him taking part in as a member of the York Rangers. Which are a Stanley Cup contending crew. They’re a cap spending crew.
And in the end, might he push and will he push to get $12 (million)? Certain, why not? Ought to he push to get 12 and a half? Certain he could make the case, however I don’t assume that helps their crew as such, simply primarily based on the place they’re cap smart. Though that’s not his accountability. Boiler, if you wish to win, you want different good items round you, too.
So to me, I believe in the end this will get resolved with a quantity with an 11 on it. Whether or not it’s $11.5 {$11.6 million, $11.7 million). That’s my thought. I don’t assume it goes to 12. Yeah, I don’t assume it goes to 12. Might be mistaken.”
