Igor Shesterkin Becomes Highest-Paid Goalie in NHL History With $92M Rangers Deal

The eight-year contract extension cements Shesterkin's role as a cornerstone for the New York Rangers' future.

Igor Shesterkin signed an eight-year, $92 million contract extension with the New York Rangers, making him the highest-paid goaltender in NHL history.
The deal surpasses Carey Price's $84 million contract with the Montreal Canadiens in 2017, setting a new benchmark for goaltenders.
Shesterkin, a Vezina Trophy winner in 2021-22, has been a key player for the Rangers, leading them to two Eastern Conference finals since his debut in 2020.
The extension follows a period of challenging negotiations for Shesterkin, who admitted the process affected his focus during the season.
Rangers GM Chris Drury has also secured key contracts for Alexis Lafreniere and cleared cap space with recent trades, signaling ongoing efforts to build a competitive roster.
