I'm absolutely fine moving on from him.

 

[haohmaru]

Been saying since last year that he should’ve been moved, Lundqvist playing to end of contract, etc…

Now we’ve got another year of Lundqvist’s buyout on the books and Georgiev’s value in the toilet with no leverage since he requested a trade. Another asset’s value run into the ground

 

[RosensRug]

He strikes me as the type of goalie that NEEDS a Benny or Mitch Korn type goalie coach in order to succeed.

On that note... Imagine he ended up in Carolina.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

trade him for ADA

He had a Benny this year. And was bad.

Hank couldn’t have played anyway while his $1.5 million the books is irrelevant.

Well if he wanted a team to trade for him for a starter or 1A role, he probably should have played better.

 

[LokiDog]

He just wants to go to whatever locker room Tony is in and punch him again. Probably misplay a puck in OT to make him look bad first too.

Yeah, he wasn't exactly a world beater last season.

What were we going to get for him? Can't see the return being better than a 2nd or 3rd. He didn't exactly dominate last season. I don't think we've lost so much value here. Goalies typically have little value and he wasn't a proven #1 so we were never getting a lot for him.

Yeah, that's probably it. Solid post.

Good riddance

It’s just a joke, hombre.

More than whatever we’re going to get now. And last season wouldn’t have factored into his trade value - which would’ve been a good thing. Yeah, it might be 3rd instead of a 4th, or whatever, but the three goalie thing never made a lick of sense.

Not trading Georgiev if we had the chance was definitely the wrong move but this team has a habit of holding onto assets for too long like grim death.

 

[NickyFotiu]

I was not impressed with him but until we have a better option I would keep him and hope he improves his value. I do not care what he requested. If he did not want to be here then do not sign a contract.

Georgiev’s (lack of) value was the primary point, not Lundqvist’s salary or his unforeseen medical issue.

You brought up Hanks salary and the buyout on the books.

 

[Fitzy]

He's not consistent enough to be a starter but I guess he's gonna have to run around the league a bit to figure that out.

Glad we are ridding ourselves of an unpopular player I guess.

And you failed to mention Georgiev’s trade value in your reply. So what?

 

[will1066]

His issue the entire time was looking too much like a young Peter Postlethwaite. He couldn't be taken seriously.

Disagree. That was the only reason to take him seriously.

I like Georgiev a lot, completely understand his desire to go somewhere else where he has a better shot of competing for a 1/1A spot. Hope he succeeds, last season was a step back for him but it seems to be the norm these days for goalies to oscillate between good years and bad years.

 

[Flan the incredible]

Honestly with all the cap space we have this year I would trade him to the Oilers for Koskinen and their 1st round pick. Koskinen is terrible but we could bury him and have Kincaid or whoever back up Shest.

Assuming georgies value is a 2nd or 3rd and dumping Koskinen will cost them a 2nd. So 2 2nds is basically a middle to late 1st round pick and I would assume that's where the Oilers finish this upcoming year.

FYI Oilers don't have a 2nd, 3rd or 4th this upcoming year so its possible they make that move.

Yeah pretty much. He's good enough to work in an equal tandem IMO.
