Georgiev is ridiculously bad and it’s kinda embarrassing the Sharks play him.

He really only had one good season and that’s it. He may have had one or two so-so seasons as the Rangers backup or 1b goalie, but his 22-23 season was by far the outlier and the only season worth remembering.
It’s hilarious that he’s been no worse with the Sharks than he was in his Colorado games this year. He’s just having an absolutely miserable year.

Is Skinner dead? Georgiev is worse (much worse) than late-career Martin Jones was, and late-career Martin Jones wasn't even vaguely NHL-quality (as much as he kept fooling fanbases into thinking he was when he had his patented hot streak).
He seems like a legit Flyers goalie!
The answer: play Georgiev regularly.

Skinner has to be saved in the playoffs from his college career backup Pickard. Skinner and Pickard is IMO the worst goalie tandem in the NHL. I would even take Jones over both.
Yup.. I don't think they are awful but we will have the second best goalie in every single playoff series. Which may be one playoff series given we also will have the second best D I'm very series too.lol.
Few more wingers and the cup is coming back to edmonton.lol
And yes I'm a big oil fan but f*** bowman and that TDL. I have him behind chia and Holland right now.
I get the tanking purpose of trading Blackwood but a late late second and a player who’s probably not a part of the sharks future still doesn’t seem like a good enough return.
Blackwood and Vanacek were once considered Georgiev-tier bad. Both of them turned it around to some degree. Grier was just trying to make it happen a 3rd time. If it didn't work out, the worst that could happen is he plays out the remainder of the season and he's gone next year, which is exactly what is happening.
I almost always find myself thinking “that’s it?” about the return when goalies get traded. You’d think I’d have learned by now that goalies don’t go for much because the types of goalies that would actually get a good trade return are very unlikely to get traded in the first place. That’s why I was trying to peddle Vejmelka for like a third if we hadn’t extended him by the trade deadline.
However, to your point specifically, a very late second as the main prize does seem a little underwhelming of a return for Blackwood. Maybe it’s that Colorado was still a little gun shy after the package they gave up for Kuemper, although they won a cup with him anyway despite him being kind of just… mediocre.
Wow, it looks like he's on a hot streak! Good for him, hope he can keep turning it around.
Considering the goalie market, this is the best deal they can realistically get. Waiting is unnecessary risk. They get two trade chips at worst that can go to filling more relevant spots in their lineup. Blackwood is also not part of the Sharks future.
Nobody will be embarassed when they land Schaeffer.
Masterful job by the Sharks.
I think you're right. Blackwood was a pending UFA with no intention on staying in San Jose beyond this season, and part of the deal to get a 2nd + Kovalenko from the Avs was that they had to take back a pending UFA Georgiev. At the end of this year, he'll probably head to the KHL and the Sharks will see what Askarov can do.
