    Default Igor Shesterkin?

    Any chance he gets a call up if this team keeps giving up 4+ goals nightly?
    He's playing well ( 3-0) in the ahl right now, and from what I've read he's suppose to be the goalie of the future for this franchise.
    Rangers are a poor defensive team it seems so I'm not sure he's the answer anyway.
    I wonder if he forces their hand if it continues though?

    I can't guess the future but if I were a gambling man, I'd say the only way he gets called up anytime soon is if there's an injury.

    Yes they invested in key pieces like Panarin and Trouba, but this is still a pretty young team in the early stages of a rebuild. Shesterkin is a key part of that but I think they are good letting him dominate in the AHL compared to getting peppered like Hank and Georgiev are getting in the bigs.

    I'm also guessing that Shesterkin is staying in the AHL this year. He's a stash for next year. Georgiev's new contract this year and Lundqvist's next year will give us a lot more info at the end of the year.

    Shesterkin likely needs time to grow and adapt to the North American ice. There is no good reason to bring him up now and potentially harm his development, other than the possibility that he'd win the Rangers a couple of more games than their current goalies.

    I find that unlikely, because the Rangers only have 1 goalie playing below average, and it's not Georgiev, who can be sent down without waivers for now.

    Lundqvist ahsn't been that bad, but the team's defense has been that bad.

    I would bet he stays in the AHL for the year as well for development. But, anything could happen. Last year, I think most thought Carter Hart wasn't gonna get NHL games, or maybe just a small cup of coffee, but circumstances happened and then...ya know. So it's unlikely, but who knows?!
