Today is the anniversary of Igor Shesterkin being drafted by the New York Rangers, and it just so happens that ESPN also announced the list of nominees for the 2022 ESPYS, set to be held on July 20th, and Shesterkin has a chance to win Best NHL Player.
There were four nominees in total, and the other players joining Shesterkin include Auston Matthews, Connor McDavid and Roman Josi. Shesterkin is here because he won the Vezina Trophy, and was a finalist for the Hart Trophy.
Matthews captured the Hart Trophy and Ted Lindsay award, McDavid finished 2nd in Hart Trophy voting and was a finalist for the Ted Lindsay, and Josi finished 2nd in Norris Trophy voting while also being a finalist for the Ted Lindsay.
