Confirmed with Link: Rangers Trade Georgiev to Avs for 3rd + 5th '22 + 3rd '23

[Number 9]

YESSSSSS, f*** you Alex. Really f***ing hated him.

 

[Trxjw]

Always felt like Gorton did a shit job handling Georgiev on the trade market. Holding out for too much.

That's a haul considering the circumstances. 3 picks for the rights to a guy who was going to market in a week. Another W for Dru.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

What'd you reasonably expect? Three picks is a great return for a RFA goalie who doesn't want to be here and proved to be an unreliable backup.

I thought they’d get a second rounder given the goalie market. That’s not a great return imo given where the picks are.

 

[Chaels Arms]

This makes me believe two things, Drury must have a great poker face and someone else (maybe Edmonton) had real interest in him.

 

[clmetsfan]

I’m no expert, but I’m willing to assume they do in fact sign a backup, unless they plan on having Igor start every single game.

 

[SRHRangers]

Good work by Drury

Then your expectations were WAY out of whack given Geo's contract status.

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

The two 3rds are nice, something to work with to move up if needed

 

[Jackson Ranger]

Why? He was probably one of the biggest reasons we lost to Carolina in the bubble and then one of the biggest reasons we beat Carolina in the playoffs this year....good riddance

I don't know about the bubble but you're right about the playoffs this year, which is why it wasn't a serious comment. Just having some fun...

 

[McRanger92]

Basically recouped the picks they gave up for Vatrano/Motte/Braun. Good business by Drury to get that return for a guy everyone knew was gone

Yeah you thought wrong.

 

[NYR Viper]

This gives Drury and his team a few swings later in the draft which is good news. They will need to find a player or two and 2 more picks will help. It alleviates some cap constraints as well which is good.

Drury should get credit for this. This is a good deal

Who has the approximate value of these picks? Are (2) 3rd + 5th equal to a 2nd? I know there is a calculation out there....

Paging @RangerBoy

 

[huerter]

At worst, the Rangers turned an undrafted free agent signing into three dart throws the board. Beautiful asset management.

Gonna need to see the trade tree

 

[NYRFANMANI]

Finally some news! And good news too.

At that price you could have gotten a 2nd rounder, I feel.
Nonetheless, ok return. Quantity is better in such a lottery.

Thanks Georgie! Wish you all the best.

Nah.....dont really think you did.

 

[Thirty One]

I:
1. did not
2. would rather have 2 3rds and a 5th than a 2nd.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Drury has been redeeming himself with what he did around the deadline and this trade is another plus.

 

[Mac n Gs]

That’s an incredible deal by Drury. Happy that the most toxic presence on the team is finally gone.

 

[huerter]

If you are being a weirdo, it was me who reported you.

 

[GG96]

Great haul

 

[n8]

pleased with this haul. didn't think we'd get a 2nd. two 3rds (even late ones) is quite good. 5th is a sweetener.

Your expectations were way to high if you thought we would get a 2nd.

The error is with your expectations and not the return.

It’s literally a great return considering we could have just lost him for nothing in a few days.

The Rangers didn't have much leverage, everyone knew Georgiev wanted out, and his QO was too high for the Rangers. They had to move him and that was known. For a guy that has regressed over the past couple years, I'd say they did quite well, given the circumstances.

If nothing else they have some ammunition to move up in those middle rounds if they see someone dropping that they really like.
