The New York Rangers rival, the Washington Capitals have extended their starting goalie, Logan Thompson in the net. The deal puts him at $5.85 million AAV, and while he's not better than Igor, he comes close and at a discount.

The Washington Capitals signed goalie Logan Thompson today for a six-year contract that pays him $5.85 million AAV.
This season, Thompson has performed spectacularly for the Washington Capitals, with a record of 22-2-3, 2.09 GAA, and a .925 save percentage.
If we compare and contrast careers, with Thompson and Shesterkin it's easy to see Igor is better.
But Thompson comes at a discount, and honestly, a value that the Rangers wish they still had for Shesterkin.
Are the Capitals getting favorable goaltending for cheaper? Yes. Have they been a problem for the entire Metropolitan Division, also yes.
«Logan has demonstrated that he is one of the top goaltenders in the NHL this season and since he joined the League. With his size and exceptional athleticism, we are confident that this signing will enhance one of the most critical positions on our team, especially as he enters the prime years of his career.»
It feels like the Washington Capitals have come from behind, to surprise everyone and could be an issue for the Rangers in the future if they find themselves in the playoffs.
Logan Thompson is one of the top goalies in the league is in second in the NHL in GAA, and third in save percentage.
All at $5.85 million AAV.
GM Chris Drury should pick Chris Patrick's ear for tips and tricks.
