Seravalli: Georgiev has requested a trade

[Barnaby]

There's a million good reasons to request a trade, they just don't all have hockey as the primary motivation. Maybe he doesn't agree with Allaire's
coaching or assessment of his style. Maybe it's loyalty to Quinn. Maybe the rest of the team thinks he's a schlep for firing the first shot at a teammate but not taking any of the heat. Maybe the big city life doesn't suit him. You never know.

Any of that is a possibility, but on the other hand your also hearing some unflattering rumors about him.

 

[CupInSIX]

I would hardly call Shest an "unestablished goalie prospect." He's clearly better than Georgiev.

48 NHL games is not established yet.

 

[JT Kreider]

Bring back Lundqvist as backup just because our locker room fell apart without him and if not Kinkaid was a decent enough backup to end the season

 

[Trxjw]

Established or not, Shesterkin is clearly the better goalie and is the long-term choice for the Rangers. Georgiev might be a little odd but he's not an idiot. He can see he's not going to get a real opportunity in NY to be a starter. Not sure how common sense is viewed as a red flag.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Maybe Drury packages Geogiev with a first for some more sandpaper.

 

[Unbiased Fan]

I'm joking about 'the fight'.

Still, there's no good reason for a 1b to request a trade when he's competing with an unestablished goalie prospect. NYR is the best fit for him. So this is a red flag.

I wouldn’t call a top 5 goalie in the game unestablished lol

 

[Pulock6NYI]

What about Edmonton or Arizona? or SJ? I know SJ got Reimer but who else?

Sharks have Adin Hill.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Sharks have Adin Hill.

I forgot about that

Georgiev to Chicago
Fleury to Pitt
2nd (Pitt) to NYR

each Chicago and New York retain 25% of 7m (1.75m) of Fleury’s contract

Who did Chicago piss off, and get real with NYR retaining 25% .

 

[Sting]

He'll return a 3rd at best.

Fleury doesn’t want to play for Chicago
Rangers get a 2nd to retain salary (and still shed some salary, over 1 million cap space) to move someone who doesn’t want to be there. Fleury only has 1 year left so it’s not like it’s destroying them

Kassian seems to fit that bill, let's go!

Would Lucic waive for the Rangers?

All good jokes contain true shit

Well I ain't got no good jokes so it must be false.

Kassian + Koskinen for Georgiev + ...Strome?

 

[Goalie_Bob]

His save percentage is steadily getting worse. That is not a good trend. I'm thinking a 3rd round pick, especially from a lottery team like Buffalo or Arizona.

Why wouldn't NYR just trade him elsewhere instead of retaining 25%? Rangers don't need the cap saving this season so still saving over a million means nothing. If 2 teams are retaining on Fleury, Chicago could get a better return.

AVs might be interested.

They only have Kuemper for this season and won’t make the same mistake in overpaying. If he plays well as the backup, he could be the Starter after next season.

 

[McDoused]

Holland:

 

[seadawg]

The market for goalies is slim, and Dallas is also likely to trade one of theirs, with Bishop, Khudobin, and Holtby on the roster.

Boston, Calgary, Colorado, and Winnipeg need a back up (so a lateral move for Georgiev).

Arizona needs a starter.

And Edmonton could use him if they could get rid of Koskinen somehow.

That's pretty much it.

 

[BatVader]

Jets need a backup….Nathan Beaulieu for Georgiev

Francouz is better than he is.

 

[Goalie_Bob]

After thinking about it. If I'm Buffalo or Arizona, I'm offering like a 4th or 5th. I wouldn't give up anything of value.

Edmonton would have to be like Koskinen @ 50% for Georgiev.

 

[Rebels57]

Buffalo has no choice but to be in on this.
