Recent discussions between the New York Rangers and goalie Igor Shesterkin regarding a contract extension have seemingly stalled. Shesterkin is aiming to become the highest-paid goalie in the NHL, and while both parties are interested in a deal, communication has quieted significantly.

Analysts suggest that the Rangers have the financial flexibility to secure Shesterkin, but the lack of updates raises questions about the progress of negotiations. The team is prioritizing Shesterkin, but the specifics of the contract remain uncertain.
