New York Rangers goaltender Igor Shesterkin is due for a pay raise next off-season. He is in the final year of his current four-year deal, worth $22.667 million, and has a salary cap hit of $5.667 million.
Retired former Vancouver Canucks skaters Ryan Kesler and Michael Del Zotto were among the nine players who took part in the inaugural NHL Broadcast Training Camp last week.
Former NHLer Michael Del Zotto joined Frank Seravalli and Tyler Yaremchuk on Daily Faceoff Live to discuss the concerns surrounding the New York Rangers, which involves their recent slump in the league standings and a small goaltending controversy.
On this day in 2019, the Vancouver Canucks acquired defenceman Luke Schenn and a seventh-round selection in the 2020 NHL draft in exchange for Michael Del Zotto.
NHL head coaches have to hire good assistants. They have to set an overarching philosophy, juggle lineup configurations, and do the kind of “man management” that is impossible to track statistically.
Despite a GM and now a coaching change, the Ottawa Senators continue to struggle. Since firing D.J. Smith, the Sens are only 3-4-0, which isn’t terrible, but still very inconsistent for a team that sits in last in their division and needs to start stringing together wins while they have games in hand.
You’d be forgiven if you completely forgot Michael Del Zotto played for the Vancouver Canucks, but the now-retired defenceman shared a funny anecdote about a bizarre moment in time during his tenure with the team in a recent appearance on Spittin’ Chiclets.
