The New York Rangers and goalie Igor Shesterkin have agreed to an eight-year contract extension, sources told ESPN's Kevin Weekes and Emily Kaplan. The average annual value on the contract is $11.5 million, according to sources. That will make him the highest paid goalie in NHL history, beating Carey Price's previous contract.

Shesterkin, 28, is on the final year of a four-year deal with an AAV of $5.66 million. His camp and the Rangers have been negotiating an extension for several months.
