They say age is just a number, and Jonathan Quick is out here proving it like a legend, refusing to hang up his skates! The New York Rangers’ veteran netminder isn’t done just yet—he’s locked in for another year, keeping that Hall-of-Fame-worthy career rolling. The team made it official on Wednesday, announcing a one-year contract extension worth $1.55 million. That means Quick, who hit 39 in January, now has a shot at playing until the big 4-0. And why not?
The man has been on fire, reviving his career in New York as the perfect backup to Igor Shesterkin—the same Shesterkin who secured a historic goalie contract just a few months ago. But while some fans are hyped to see Quick sticking around, others aren’t quite convinced. The contract details have sparked a mix of emotions, with some Rangers faithful wondering if this was the right move. After all, goalie decisions in the NHL can make or break a season.
Hockey insider Frank Seravalli just dropped the details Rangers fans have been waiting for! Taking to X on March 12, the President of Hockey Content at Daily Faceoff spilled the tea on Jonathan Quick’s contract extension. And let’s just say, the veteran goalie is securing the bag while keeping things interesting with some juicy performance bonuses.
Seravalli shared, “Jonathan Quick #NYR. 1-year extension: $1.55 million AAV. $1 million salary. $550,000 signing bonus. $300,000 potential performance bonuses. 20 starts w/ .915 sv% or above = $75k. 35 games played = $25k. 40 games played = $50k. 20 wins = $50k. 25 wins = $100k. Modified NTC.” Looks like Quick’s got every reason to bring the heat between the pipes next season—because every save, every win, and every extra game played could mean more dollars in the bank!

And, of course, the internet had thoughts. Fans were quick to react to Quick’s contract, and let’s just say, emotions were all over the ice. One user wasn’t feeling too optimistic, chiming in with, “Doubtful he hits those bonus unless Igor gets hurt.” Ouch. But hey, that’s hockey for you—anything can happen, and Quick has made a career out of proving people wrong.
Speaking of Igor Shesterkin, let’s not forget—just back in December, the Rangers’ superstar goalie secured the golden bag, becoming the NHL’s highest-paid goaltender after locking in an eight-year, $92 million extension. NHL Network’s Kevin Weekes first broke the news, and the contract puts Shesterkin at an $11.5 million cap hit starting next season. That number moves him past Carey Price, who still holds a $10.5 million hit despite not playing since 2021-22. And the previous top earner? Florida Panthers’ 2024 Stanley Cup winner Sergei Bobrovsky, sitting at $10 million. So yeah, between Quick’s extension and Shesterkin’s record-breaking payday, the Rangers’ goalie situation is definitely making headlines. But this was just the beginning!
New York Rangers’ fans are not so happy with the details!
