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

[GoAwayPanarin]

All fun and games until he beats Igor in the finals next year lol

If hes starting for them, they aren't getting there.

The large majority of Georgiev's career shows him to be a below average goalie. I don't know why people expect that to change now that hes on the move. Do I think focus/motivation being stuck behind a legend and then another guy who looks well on his way to becoming one was a factor? 100%. Do I also remember him single handedly keeping opponents in (or even blowing) games by being awful on the semi regular? Also yes.

It's not like we're some goalie graveyard like is Philly or NJ is becoming where you take a guy out of a shitty situation and find gold.

Fantastic job by Drury. More than I thought we would get.

 

[Unpredictable1]

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 actually liked Tony here but your post is 100% BANG ON

Cheers!

Avs fan here in peace and we love this deal.

You just didn't want to have to pay attention to the draft, didn't you?

yeah but you guys are all drunk.

Once you guys sober up you'll hate him as much as must of us did.

3 picks for someone who wasn't getting qualified? Well done Drury. Holy f*** Geo is going to be a cup champion isn't he? lol

 

[HANK30]

 

[Alienblood]

Absolutely what I thought. He will look good on the Avs but let them down a whooooole lot

Nohing can be worse than what we saw with Darcy Kuemper lol

 

[RangerBoy]

The hockey insiders had this trade pegged. Elliotte Friedman. Last night. NHL network. It appears Kuemper is returning to Colorado. Appears. Trending. Sakic doesn’t leak. Drury doesn’t leak.

 

[ArPanet]

felt sorry for him last season he sucked but it was uncomfortable see how his teammates couldn't stand him

 

[Chaels Arms]

shesty def faltered a bit down the stretch.

When you spend the first 3/4 of a season playing at a level never before seen in NHL history some faltering is inevitable.

 

[Alienblood]

He is going to do well for them

25 year old talented young man with something to prove we hopefully.

 

[ElLeetch]

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

keep in mind, its COL, so they are the last picks in the rounds, essentially. Its almost two 4ths and a 5th.

Duly noted still take it and run. Basically with those pics we got Motte and Vatrano for a playoff run.

we still have a 6th we are hoping to get Pool Party for in Edm lolol.

And nothing can be worse than what we endured wih Kuemper. Him being gone and not having to pay him is gold.

This is a low risk gamble. good deal for both teams

Wow I never saw that before. Surprising since CK stood up for Georgie previously.

 

[Unpredictable1]

Drury does a good job speaking to teams and gauging the market. He is a professional. He isnt going to get McDavid for Kakko but he listens to everyone and then takes what he feels is the best offer that the market is making available. Really did a good job here considering we did not have much leverage.

I agree - and overall I think Drury has done a great job to date since taking the throne.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

It's 3 picks they didn't have due to the deadline deals they made. Also the difference between what thr Rangers pick would have been and thr Avs pick is just 2 spots due to making it to the ECF.

This is a huge return for a player the Rangers would not have qualified.

 

[mas0764]

Would have preferred a second to call it a steal, but I’m not complaining. Good asset management to get 3 picks and help replenish what you gave up at the deadline.

Sign Kakko already.

Didn’t we used to have two 2nd round picks, but someone could choose between this year and next? Did they choose this year?

 

[Off Sides]

There are not a whole lot of goalie options out there for teams who need them.

 

[bobbop]

Certain this was the best offer available. Drury isn’t stupid. Wish it was a second but quantity is good.

 

[Alienblood]

Well we hated Grubauer and Kuemper so maybe so. Hopefully this allows us to keep Nichuskin is the biggest thing

 

[bobbop]

Tinordi signing sucked too. And as much as I like Blais, that Buch trade was also underwhelming. But overall I think Drury’s done alright.

Tinordi? That’s real nitpicking.
