Lmao...
He's 28 years old and has 150 starts. Only 1 year in his entire career has he been an actual starting goalie, and he put up well below average numbers.
He's awful. Georgiev is also awful and I f***ing hate him, but I will glady take my changes on him finding his game over paying a 2nd round pick for another pile of garbage. At least Georgiev actually has multiple years of legitimate starters workloads and even has one strong statistical season as a starting goalie.
As for O'Connor. We dont need him. We have plenty of cheap depth with a number of guys showing they can contribute positively during the start of this year. Especially when it comes to wingers, that's the last thing we need.
And this somehow doesn't apply to Georgiyev?
If you want to argue that Nedjelkovic is just more of a platoon guy, you won't have much disagreement from anyone, but Georgiyev sucks ass and even Nedjelkovic being a 1B goalie is an upgrade on him.
Well are you keeping them to ride off into the sunset or trying to trade them? This is a thread about selling off pieces with the rumors of a firesale.
Letang is already a cap dump and has several years left. He is going to be unmoveable. That is why you get rid of him now if you are going to do it. If you want to parade his corpse around another few years for nostalgia and to honor him for the cups won, be my guest. But from an asset value standpoint, shit or get off the pot you know?
If that's the case they would just keep him then.
They're already going to be trading Karlsson next off-season I bet, so keeping Letang to be a mentor for the young defensemen (namely Pickering and Brunicke, plus Pettersson in this hypothetical deal) would make more sense than trading him for the sake of trading him.
I know I'm the one who made the proposals but I'd walk that Letang one back. Since EK is almost assuredly gone sometime next off-season or next season, I think keeping Letang to be a mentor for the young guys would make more sense.
