That's crazy! I would pay him $5 million this year and maybe a bonus of $1.6 million but that's it.

What are you giving Wahlstrom, 12 million after he wins the league MVP this year?

Does the Shesterkan deal have any impact on what Sorokin might be seeking? $5.75M seems high to me for Shesty.

The have very similar stats in the NHL/KHL. Shesty isnt worth that money yet, but they are banking that he will be worth more half way through. They did not want to bridge him and pay him big $$ on the next deal

I think its high for Shesterkin and feel its an over payment and I couldn't be happier. He is the starter and sOrOkin is the back up with fewer games so I don't think sOrOkin is near that On this contract. IMO closer to half.

Shesty is an RFA as well, correct? That just seems a bit high to me and I think it’s only 4 years. Was hoping Sorokin would be around $4M or less but I must be way off.

Yea, I just responded to Nyr2 that I thought Sorokin would be $4M or less which seems more reasonable. I hope you’re right with closer to $3M or less.

He is good but he's played how many seasons/Games in the NHL? Just seems like a lot to me. Carter Hart had 2 excellent seasons and struggled last year and he signed a 3 year contract under 4 Million. How much will Sesty be worth in 2 years 8 million?
I think sOrOkin will get ~ 3 million.
Just my opinion and Im always wrong so....

Yeah I’m prob way off on $4 which seemed fair after hearing Shesty $5.75.
