Boomer Gordon: “Dave, I prompt earlier in the summertime that it most likely made sense for Swayman to attend as a result of Igor Shesterkin, in some unspecified time in the future, would get a contract and reset the marketplace for all goaltenders. However I haven’t heard something on that. Will we even know if the Rangers in Igor are speaking proper now?”
Dave Pagnotta: “I do know that they had discussions firstly of the offseason and really unfastened simply clearly, let’s ensure we’re all on the identical web page, and we wish to work in direction of a long-term extension, which they do.
However I truthfully, Growth, I haven’t heard a lot in that respect. I wouldn’t be shocked if it’s the same reverse uno card state of affairs, the place Igor and his camp are taking a look at Swayman to see what occurs there with these {dollars}.
You’ve received to think about that Shesterkin goes to be based mostly on his efficiency, the highest-paid goaltender on the finish of the day as soon as Swayman will get his deal, and so they use different comps like Vasilevskiy and so forth. However I believe he’s ready to see the place that the place that goes, how that performs out earlier than they get too onerous right into a negotiation, however possibly they’re now.
Once more, this might be one other state of affairs the place they’re doing a extremely good job and simply maintaining it quiet. And the Rangers love to do this with Drury and everyone there. However I didn’t get a way that there was going to be a priority with respect to making an attempt to get him locked into an extension as soon as they get to that severe state. Clearly, the purpose is to lock it in, and each side wish to make it occur.”
