Rangers extension contract – New York Rangers goaltender Igor Shesterkin will enter the final year of his four-year, $22.67 million contract this season. However, he is not worrying about the possibility of heading to free agency next offseason. And then in a recent interview with RG.org, Shesterkin confirmed that his agent was engaged in contract talks with the Rangers.
That statement may have sounded reassuring to Rangers fans, as the prospect of losing one of the best goaltenders in the world loomed. And then as training camp approached, Shesterkin’s mind became more focused on getting ready for a grueling season.

And Shesterkin’s return to the United States again signaled the start of a new season for the goalkeeper and his Rangers teammates. He no doubt noted that Shesterkin’s focus on off-season training and conditioning was instrumental in his overall success between the pipes.
Then he’ll be back in Shesterkin form by midseason as the Rangers take the ice for the first time this season. The team can then hope all that extra training translates into another elite-level season — perhaps culminating in a Vezina Trophy and, most importantly, a Stanley Cup.
