Shesterkin – Rangers Agree On Four Years
The deal had been rumored for the better part of two weeks, but the team finally made it official today, announcing they have signed goaltender Igor Shesterkin to a four year deal worth an average of $5.667M per season. With the signing, Shesterkin is projected to remain with the organization through to 29 years of age, at which point he’ll be eligible for UFA status, should he choose to go that route.
