Loading…By the model, Shesterkin is a top-tier goaltender: a 99.4 overall, 2nd of 104 at his position. That makes him the highest-rated player on the New York Rangers roster.
His goals saved above expected (10.6) are the core of that rating: he stops meaningfully more than the shot quality he faces predicts.
Over 8 rated seasons since 2019-20 he has averaged 90.1, peaking at 100 in 2021-22; last season's 98.1 was right in line with the year before.
The contract, $11.6M through 2032-33, grades Fair: the model's expected value of $11.6M is within $0K of what he is paid.
The New York Rangers have $3.92M of space under the $104M cap this season.

How we rate players: each skater's overall is a percentile (0-100) built from offense, defense, play driving, finishing, power-play and penalty-kill impact against players at the same position; goalies are rated on goals saved above expected. Contract value compares the cap hit with the salary the model expects for that level of production, age and position. Figures are updated as new games and signings arrive.
