Okay, so I was digging around for some info on the New York Rangers, specifically about their backup goalie situation. You know, it’s always good to know who’s backing up the main guy, especially when your starter is a star like Igor Shesterkin.
So, I started by, you guessed it, hitting up the internet. I just typed in “NYR backup goalie” and started looking through the results.
My Simple Research Steps
- First thing I did: I checked out some of the major sports sites.
- Then: I found that they needed another guy for the No.2 spot!
- Next: I looked for some reliable hockey news sources, you know, the ones that usually have the inside scoop.
And that’s where I stumbled upon this name: Jaroslav Halak. Apparently, the Rangers signed him to be Shesterkin’s backup.
From what I gathered, it’s a one-year deal, and it seemed pretty team-friendly in terms of the salary cap. I saw a figure of $1.55 million, which, for an experienced NHL goalie, felt like a pretty good deal for the Rangers.
My Key Takeaway: The Rangers got an experienced backup goalie, for a price that doesn’t make them spend a ton of money.
