NHL Rumors: Rangers, Blue Jackets, Capitals, and Canucks
LeBrun stated that he couldn’t affirm the precise quantity, however that it will have made him the highest-paid goalie within the league.
“You realize, it’s necessary to notice for a pair causes. Primary, as we’ve talked a few couple weeks in the past, there may be this unofficial deadline that, you already know, Shesterkin could not need to negotiate through the season. So, there’s a little bit of strain right here to try to get it carried out earlier than the Rangers’ season opener on Thursday evening.”
Talks will proceed between the edges and there will likely be backwards and forwards. Thursday isn’t a tough deadline. When and wherever Shesterkin indicators, he’ll be, be the best paid at over $11 million a season.
Jake Oettinger probably not in a rush to signal a contract extension
TSN: Pierre LeBrun was requested in regards to the trickle-down impact of Jeremy Swayman‘s eight-year, $66 million deal, and what it’d 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 need to handle this in some unspecified time in the future through 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 excellent 12 months right here, give himself much more leverage in talks. He’s received the Swayman deal in his again pocket now, so maybe this goes to after the season.”
