NHL Shockwaves: Minnesota Wild’s Goalie Dilemma Sparks Unexpected Jesper Wallstedt-Gustavsson Showdown
Frank Seravalli: “Either way, it’s going to be expensive. Our friends at AFP Analytics kind of have that ballpark of if it’s five years, they have him at $8 million. And the point of the story is, as Jesper Wallstedt is really getting going here in his NHL career. The record, the league record in the salary cap era for a second contract for a goalie belongs to Igor Shesterkin.
He was at $5.6 million. So Wallstedt is gonna blow Shesterkin’s number out of the water. There’s no doubt about that. The question is how all of this will mesh with a team that has Kirill Kaprizov at $17 million and is trying to sign Quinn Hughes at $20 million. Let’s just call it, we’ll put a ballpark around that.
