NHL Rumors: Rangers, Blue Jackets, Capitals, and Canucks
LeBrun stated that he couldn’t verify the precise quantity, however that it might have made him the highest-paid goalie within the league.
“, it’s essential to notice for a pair causes. Primary, as we’ve talked a couple of couple weeks in the past, there may be this unofficial deadline that, you understand, Shesterkin could not wish to negotiate in the course of the season. So, there’s a little bit of stress right here to attempt to get it accomplished earlier than the Rangers’ season opener on Thursday night time.”

Jake Oettinger possible not in a rush to signal a contract extension
TSN: Pierre LeBrun was requested concerning the trickle-down impact of Jeremy Swayman‘s eight-year, $66 million deal, and what it would imply for somebody like Dallas Stars goaltender Jake Oettinger.
The 25-year-old Oettinger is a pending RFA after the season. Contract talks haven’t gotten critical and the edges could also be ready to see how the season performs out first.
“I do assume Jim Nill, the Stars GM, will in all probability wish to handle this sooner or later in the course of the season. However, my sense is, Jake Oettinger’s camp, led by agent Ben Hankinson, they’re in all probability not in an enormous rush. I imply, Jake Oettinger has an opportunity to place up an important 12 months right here, give himself much more leverage in talks. He’s obtained the Swayman deal in his again pocket now, so maybe this goes to after the season.”
