Seravalli: Georgiev will Not Re-Sign with Rangers, Rangers Actively Trying to Trade Him

[EdJovanovski]

There’s a lot of things to unpack with Georgiev. Teams have been really concerned with his body language, about his commitment, they feel that he’s outwardly been selfish. I think there’s been talk about what he’s like in the Rangers dressing room that has hurt his trade stock. The Rangers are actively trying to move him. What can they get for him? It’s probably a late round pick at this point. I’m thinking a 4th. Alex Nedeljkovic went for a 3rd, and Georgiev hasn’t been as good as him, plus there’s baggage, and he’s not coming back. So the Rangers don’t have much leverage. Vegas is a strong possibility.

I wouldn't be surprised if nobody will trade for him and he ends up UFA and then a team will take a chance on him at a low salary

 

[jetsforever]

Seems like he's not a great goalie and not a great person
Who wants that?

 

[The Crypto Guy]

I'd be f***ing THRILLED if somehow we can get a 4th for him.

Probably my least favorite Ranger of all time, or at least in the last decade. Nobody's going to want this bum.

 

[zar]

I hear he’s a terrible back-up but he’d be a great starting goalie.

 

[GhostfaceWu]

Buffalo might sign him.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

not my 1st choice but a potenial Leaf target

 

[JoeSakic13]

Trade him for Kravtsov!

Oh wait…..

 

[Thirty Seven]

Send him to Edmonton

 

[SML2]

This fugging guy...

They should have cut bait on him when he punched his teammate.

The idea that he won't sign a contract when hes floating at a sub .900 sv% is laughable. He will be lucky to have an offer at this point.

GTFOH.

We can have anyone come in and lose every 5th game for league minimum. Dude brings nothing to the table but a fork and an appetite.

Send him to Edmonton

That ship has sailed….No thanx!!

Rangers chose to dump the wrong guy. What else is new.

 

[ponder]

He’s a serviceable backup with a bad attitude. Agreed that he’ll probably go for a 4th, and a 3rd would be a good return.

 

[themelkman]

If the sharks get a bunch for Reimer, he would be a fine backup to ice

 

[Baby Punisher]

So it turns out Gio is a piece of shit. What a shock.

 

[DucksUnited]

What teams out there snaps players back into shape with attitudes? I think Lupul was a party boy, and a weird dude. Seems like Toronto kicked em into shape. Toronto? You want this guy? Can your Front Office check this fool? And get em back into a proper player

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Who wants that?

Deangelo and Kane both got signed by teams, and the Jets GM is still employed.

Apparently even really shitty people can get work, I feel like Georgiev would be fine.

 

[CupInSIX]

Vegas is a strong possibility.

Are Seravalli & Lehner just trolling each other at this point? That would be a ridiculously bad idea.

 

[Alluckks]

This makes no sense for the Rangers

And your thought process shows that by thinking the Ducks need or it adds any value whatsoever to retain 50% on his contract for this year

He owes nothing to the Rangers once his contract expires, whether he can find a better deal elsewhere is his problem but there's nothing wrong about using that option. Considering that his career has only been going downhill in New York makes it seem like the logical outcome as well, for both sides. I don't see why that should come with any hard feelings.

He is better than both our buns; Smith & Koskinen!

Deangelo and Kane both got signed by teams, and the Jets GM is still employed.

Apparently even really shittier people can get work, I feel like Georgiev would be fine.

Yeah... but Kane and Deangelo are actually better than average NHL quality starters at their position whereas Georgiev is a less than average NHL back-up at his position.

Not commenting on your argument but my point was that if he's both a locker room problem and a bad player there could be less interest
DeAngelo and Kane are both great players and Chevy is a great GM

Maybe the punch to the head was needed .

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

Toronto, maybe? I don't know. Unless Campbell comes back, I guess.
