When Should The Rangers Call Up Igor Shesterkin?

The Rangers have seemingly put themselves in one of those situations where they have created a good problem. The over abundance of young, skilled defenseman that are blossoming in Hartford has given John Davidson and company a plethora of options to explore in building the team back to contending status. Coincidentally, they’ve also managed to do this with their goaltending situation.

New York boasts a nice goaltending corps past Henrik Lundqvist with players like Alexandar Georgiev, Tyler Wall, Olof Lindbom and of course, Igor Shesterkin. The 23-year-old from Moscow has turned all eyes to him in Hartford, excelling right off the bat and reinforcing the case for him to take over the throne once Henrik Lundqvist abdicates.
