Ryan Wilson: Dubas explains the now and hints at the future Dubas explains the now and hints at the future

Seemingly the lowest universal expectations for the Pens in a while, since before Sid was drafted, but I'm still just as excited for the season to start as most other years haha. I think this team might be better than a lot are giving credit for, might end up being better than the last two year's teams. However, I do think too many other teams in the east either stayed elite'ish or improved the rosters from last year. So, missing the playoffs by a small amount of points is my most likely season outcome prediction.

Weekes reporting that Shesterkin turned down a 8 year x 11 mill per offer from the Rags. That's wild. Hopefully he signs for more haha.

I can’t fathom turning down a contract like that. He’s a goalie, what does he think he’s gonna get? Does he hate New York that much? If moneys not an issue, which at 8x11 it’s not, New York is awesome.

Hahaha yeah, its crazy. He'd be the highest paid goalie of all time if he accepted that. I've read things, no idea if true or not, that he wants to be highest paid player on team. That title currently goes to Panarin at 11.6 mill per. Shesterkin is the best player on the team in my opinion. However, tying that much cap into one goalie is insane.

Yeah goalies are the running backs of hockey. You just don’t have the same value as a goal scoring forward for a variety of reasons. If you’re offered a contract to be the highest paid goalie of all time it’s silly to decline it because you’re comparing it to what a star forward makes.
