Kinda out of left field and another reason to trade Trouba besides he sucked.  I can live with that moneys long as he lives up to it.

Wasn’t $11.5 MM the number Igor turned down at the start of this season?

Cap going up by ~$7M next year and if the Rangers clean house they could have $20+M in cap space for next year.

Lindgren and Smith are UFA's (~$8M)

Fox could bring back a nice haul ($9.5M)

Mika is a waste at $8.5M

CK isn't really a Cap Killer @$6.5M

Trocheck @$5.7M

There is a lot that can be done here.

No.  Rangers original offer was $11M.

they didn't want to eat up next year's cap increase and pay Trouba too. Time to retool the defense and tweak the top lines. Everyone except Cuylle is tradeable

Unfortunately, I think the only way Zib and his contract gets traded is if Bob Gainey is rehired somewhere as GM.

For me, this contract makes sense. If the 2025-26 cap is set at the current projected $92.4 million, Shesterkin’s contract will account for 12.44 percent of the total. When Henrik Lundqvist’s final contract kicked in in 2014-15, it accounted for 12.32 percent of the cap while earning $8.5 million per. Igor is every bit as important to this team as Henrik was.

As it stands now, it's the third highest (by percentage of cap) for a goaltender in NHL history, trailing Luongo in 2007 who accounted for 15.3% and Price in 2014 at 13.2%

As noted, it's fractionally higher than Lundqvist, and for that matter Bobrovsky (both 12.3%).  In fact Lundqvists 2009 contract accounted for 12.1% as well.

Will be interesting to see how much the Cap goes up, because it has the potential to go up quicker than at any other time.

So a couple of notes.  This contract is basically untradeable and can't really be bought out, because it's heavily weighted towards bonuses.  The only ways Shesterkin is leaving the NYR before the end of this contract, is if he wants to go.

Couple of other notes, he reported turned down a larger deal from the Rangers because it had less desirable bonus structure, and would probably have gotten more on the open market if he had wanted to go that route.  Shesterkin reportedly wanted to still leave a little more room for Drury to put a better team in front of him...though you're probably talking maybe another 500K-1.5M per year at most you'd think.
