NHL Rumors: Rangers, Blue Jackets, Capitals, and Canucks
LeBrun stated that he couldn’t verify the precise quantity, however that it could have made him the highest-paid goalie within the league.
“You recognize, it’s necessary to notice for a pair causes. Primary, as we’ve talked a few couple weeks in the past, there’s this unofficial deadline that, you realize, Shesterkin could not wish to negotiate throughout the season. So, there’s a little bit of strain right here to try to get it achieved earlier than the Rangers’ season opener on Thursday evening.”
Talks will proceed between the edges and there might be backwards and forwards. Thursday isn’t a tough deadline. When and wherever Shesterkin indicators, he’ll be, be the very best paid at over $11 million a season.
Jake Oettinger doubtless 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 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 suppose Jim Nill, the Stars GM, will most likely wish to deal with this in some unspecified time in the future throughout the season. However, my sense is, Jake Oettinger’s camp, led by agent Ben Hankinson, they’re most likely 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.”
Which Occasion Got here Out because the Winner Between Jeremy Swayman and the Boston Bruins?
Wyatt Johnston is one other pending RFA that the Stars are going to should have contract talks with.
