Is there any chance Shesterkin even gets a shot in the big leagues this year apart from if Georgiev or Hank get injured? I know they wanted him here, but can anyone see Quinn actually playing him over the aforementioned in any of the games?

I think injuries, plural, is the only way he gets a shot this year - unless the Rangers are really bold, Georgiev has awesome stats, and move him (G) at the trade deadline.

Rangers shouldn't trade Georgiev. Honestly let Lundqvist's contract run out and go with Igor/Georgie tandem for a few years.

Not fair to Igor to play in the AHL for 2 seasons. Especially if he dominates in the AHL all this year. Plus i think he has a clause he can go back to Russia after his first year so he no doubt would go back to the KHL if he earned his NHL shot and was told he's playing another year in the AHL.

Honestly, best case scenario (well not really, it's terrible to say) but if one of the NHL goalies get hurt and Shest comes up and plays a half dozen games so we can see him at the NHL level. If he is playing strong then it makes it an easier choice to move Georgiev.

I know probably no reason to go crazy about it now but that extra year of hank is not the best right now. No way Shesty should be in the ahl again next year if he has a good season this year. So what options do we have next year? Do we sell low on Georgie if no team is gonna give us a first for him? Three’s a crowd in goal for next year .
 
We thought maybe last year was the final year of big trading at the tdl but there could be so decent teams in need of a goalie at the tdl. Hate to see Georgie go and he’s gonna be a starting goalie in this league but don’t see any more options with Hank going nowhere

@The Crypto Guy and @Leetch3 Shestyorkin doesn't have to stay in the AHL the entire time. He will play in the NHL this year at least five starts is my guess and next year they can find ways to work him in especially if Lundqvist's GAA continue to spike. I love the guy but as a prime time starter he's done.

it can be done but barring injuries it won't be easy...once georgiev plays 14 more games he will require waivers, so at that point you'd have to carry 3 goalies on the roster to rotate them in. hank has actually been terrific this year for the most part considering how awful the team is...hopefully they have a # of games in mind for each guy and a plan
 
Eric Staal is almost on a hot streak 2-1 Wilds lead after being dominated by LA in the 2nd! ;)
