Is there a new crop of rumors I missed (and if so, could you please link)? Or is this just the same ol' same ol' that we've been debating for weeks?

According to Blue Line Station:

On Saturday, Elliotte Friedman reported on “Hockey Night in Canada” that the Blueshirts are ready to field offers for Georgiev. Friedman has good sources and he said that the Rangers are insisting on a good return and want a scoring forward who can help them as early as this year or next. That means an NHL player or a top prospect.

He specifically mentioned Ottawa, Toronto and San Jose as having interest.
 
Bracco and a pick seems more than fair for Georgiev imo. There’s nothing left for that kid to prove in the minors. 79 pts as a 21 year old down there last year. No spot for him in a scoring role for Toronto. Worth the risk.

And the carousel goes round and round while we flounder. A different Rusty goalie going 10 days between starts every game.

Weird wonder why they’d struggle.
Maybe this is just a galaxy brain level scheme to lose games for a draft pick while also keeping Igor happy

By the way Georgiev hasn’t played in 10 games. Shesterkin at best his next start would be Thursday. A week between games. But we expect no rust I’m sure.

if Shesterkin starts Thursday Hanks potential next game would be 8 days since last start. A 37 year old starter playing once every 7 or 8 days. Just makes it harder on an already declining goalie trying to stay in a rhythm.

If Shesterkin doesn’t start on Thursday his next potential game 10 days between starts.

this a f***ing mess

I recall some of y'all really salivating over Bracco. I definitely do not know much about him, but from everything I remember/am reading now, I could l be down with Bracco plus that 2nd*

What do you guys think about a potential OTT deal. What do they have that could possibly interest us ?

Well I’m not salivating over the kid. But he would be a good return. A riskier return but one worth taking imo. Will be 23 in March. If not now never for the kid. But he’s got no shot at any real offensive mins for the leafs ever.


Ottawa has a ton so that could be a really nice fit. San Jose has nothing but Labanc who I don’t want to pay. We need someone on an entry level contract or a prospect.

Bracco plus a 1st for Geo? I don't think there is a chance in hell we get that.

Though i question why he has never gotten a game in the NHL. Not at the top of my list.

No way a first but maybe maybe you recoup a second rounder that you lost in the Fox trade. It would be a late 2nd. I don’t see why bracco and a 2nd wouldn’t be a fair deal for both sides.

If we're talking about Toronto I'd rather have Nick Robertson +.

Josh Norris would be on my radar from Ottawa. 20 years old and almost a point per game in the AHL.
 
He's got phenomenal vision...

But thats about it.

3 goals this year in the AHL. A lot of assists but even so. Something tells me a Ryan Spooner kind of player if he does who could stick around a few years putting up 35-40 point seasons but........my own view is the Rangers have had to deal with a slew of perimeter playmaking type players the last 10-15 years. They'll make beautiful passes sometimes but they don't get near enough the net or shoot enough. Those players can wow you with plays they make now and again but they don't necessarily make the team better.

Edited to a 2nd. Now that I look at it, I dunno. I like the sound of the Norris kid @eco's bones mentioned.

Hopefully we get that one last haul this deadline . With geo & Kreids names out there, we once again are the leagues rental property management company.
 
would you give up Kravtsov for a back up goalie?

goalies just don’t get big time returns. Even really good ones

First off we don't have the need to bring in a goalie. This is a Toronto want. Second--Georgiev both last year and this year has pushed Henrik (a sure fire HOF goalie once he retires) hard for starts and IMO he's been the better goalie from the 2nd half of last season and for the better part of this season. You can call him a backup goalie all you want but I see a 23 year old who is going to be an NHL starting goalie. That would be also why Toronto would be hot to get him by the way. So IMO you're downgrading him just to make room for Shesterkin. If we're going to move Georgiev we better get something really good back and if Bracco is the best we get for him we're making a very bad deal. The fact that other teams could be in on him too and we're not even that close to the deadline apparently isn't registering with you either. Multiple teams see value in acquiring his services. Just a backup goalie? I don't think so. There are teams he would be their No. 1.
