Proposal: NYR-EDM
- Thread starter Lays
- Start date
Counter with Koskinen+'23 3rd for Georgiev. Oilers don't have a '22 3rd.
Georgiev isn't an upgrade what so ever.. In-fact he's worse than Koskinen this season, the 3rd would makeup for the 2m in salary that would be off the books this off-season.

No thanks. I don’t think Georgiev is tender help that we need. I personally would rather run with Skinner

Georgiev is also like a decade younger than Koskinen and doesn’t have his contract. Georgiev is actually younger than Shesterkin as well. Upside to be a starting goalie for a 3rd+Koskinen+Benson seems pretty fair no?

Why do we keep revisiting Koskinen for Geo? I feel we've beat this to death in numerous threads.
NYR fans say he's so much better and just needs starters minutes to prove it cause he's cold or not getting in a groove (wat).
EDM fans (vast majority) look at the stats and see an identical, younger Koskinen, which also happens to cost us early or mid round picks.
There is nothing to suggest Geo is anymore of an upgrade over Koskinen, which is what we need. Would much rather just move our 1st and prospects for someone established.
We need consistency. Not potential.

Georgiev has never proven he can be a starter, I see him as a 1A (with his potential)
He's always split and has league average numbers doing so.
Benson is promising at the AHL level and is finally starting to find a role for himself in the NHL. That being said I would be fine adding him in a package, but not with McKegg

Makes no sense for Oilers. Koskinen is better than him as of now and Georgiev isn't a long term solution. Koski is expiring after this year. Ideally, we want him to be our 2G this year unless he's part of a deal for a legit #1 (cap reasons) so we can just waive Smith.

Koskinen has been playing well recently. Not great, but okay. I would suggest that we hold off on Geo as I don't think he is the goalie of the future for us, so I'd rather not burn the assets to get him.

Why can’t Georgiev be long term? He’s younger than Shesterkin and hasn’t got true opportunity as a starter. Oilers can run with Georgiev/Skinner as two young goalies in a 1A/1B until they figure out which is better
1st ? is, who pays the most for Geo?
Is that Oil?
If they are not willing to give 2nd + value for him + our taking back Kosk, then prob LV and others are better bets for new Geo home

I’d consider Smith + 3rd for Georgiev + later pick.
This way if Georgiev craps the bed here too we can walk away in the off season (RFA don’t qualify him) and yes we lose a mid pick but least get 2 million off the books for next season.

The only people who keep pushing for this to happen is NYR fans.
Stop it, we don't want Georgiev. We want an actual upgrade on Koskinen.

Shesterkin and Georgiev were at a Knicks game together lol
I’m sure they are cool Georgiev just wants to play more

More likely Georgiev moves in the offseason. He deserves his shot but i cant see the Rangers going into the playoffs without an experienced backup.
From the looks of this thread about 90% of Oilers fans would be perfectly fine with that!

Koskinen has $1.3 million left. Why would the Oilers give up anything at all to get rid of him?

He needs more of a 1A/1B type situation, or a true starting role.
Geo has played his best hockey when his workload is increased.
Example- when Lundqvist was injured
-when shesty was injured and he was getting a lot more minutes.
In a true back up role, coming off the bench every 5th/6th game, he’s feast for famine. He’ll stop 40 shots, or get blown up.
For whatever reason, he just can’t stay sharp when he doesn’t play with any regularity.
if any team trading for him isn’t going to give him increased starts/playing time, they will be disappointed.
But literally the only thing we’ve seen from Geo is he proves he plays better with more minutes/starts over his career so far.
Still not worth the risk of acquiring, if the Oilers are spending assets they should be looking for a sure thing vs he might be better and nothing Goergiev has done looks like a sure thing

Legit starting goalies pretty much never get traded though, usually the best you can acquire is a young backup who's looked good but is blocked by a vet. No opinion on Georgiev in particular.
sure, but what you’d pay for geo isn’t what you would pay for kuemper etc.
It’s a low risk high reward situation.
they signed Kane, and have already fired their coach... they are obviously willing to gamble to keep Drai/McD happy
I wish we could add some new AI moderators to this trade proposal forum. They could just take all of the Kos for Geor proposals and merge them into one thread. Really isn't worth the time of human mods to deal with this crap.
And while we're here, I may as well say this for the dozenth time.
Why is Edmonton paying a 3rd rounder to get something of equal quality at best in return when they need to address getting a long term upgrade?
