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

[PuckLuck3043]

So essentially a couple of fourth rounders and a sixth?
Meh.

Are you kidding? That was highway robbery.

 

[Kaapo Cabana]

I thought so too, but his save percentage as a backup and when getting regular work was virtually identical. Someone posted the numbers.

He legit regressed each season he was here though. His rookie season was actually really good considering how bad that team was. Sophomore effort was really up and down, he was bad during the short covid season and was even worse last season.

I would not have guessed that.

Meh.

couldn't disagree more, as I'd mentioned, received 3 picks comparable to ones which recently brought NYR,: Shesterkin, Garand, Berard, Barron, Pajuniemi, Ryan Graves, Boyko, Lamb - and more

We’re all going to laugh about this trade until AG wins the Cup next year.

I don't understand what this is supposed to mean.

 

[GlasgowNewYorkRanger]

Okay, faith restored somewhat. He may have given Buch away for a bag of pucks but he must have been wearing a mask and riding a horse with this one.

 

[Synergy27]

I don't understand what this is supposed to mean.

I mean that we’re all very happy with this return and to be rid of Georgiev but in the meantime, he just went to a juggernaut that’s probably going to win the Cup again next year.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

One thing this proves is that a lot of people on this Board are clueless at times. Conversation until now was that Rangers would be lucky to get any picks let alone 3 for him. Drury has proven so far he is very much qualified for this position. I would not under estimate his ability to pull of a great trade for a 2 center. Let the fun begin.

100%. He has proven to be very competent so far.

Even if that happens, so what. He was done here, and Drury did well for value. Obviously some people will be pissed because a lot posters here dislike Georgiev, but as far as the trade goes this was a good move and will be a good move even if he wins the Conn Smythe next season.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Avs fans are hilarious. They clearly didn't realize that we've been told for a year, now, that George wouldn't even bring back a 7th rounder. What a group of know-nothings that think they know everything.

I can see why people hate their fanbase, now.

So essentially a couple of fourth rounders and a sixth?
Meh.

You people who post dumb shit like this must not realize we've been told for over a year, now, not to expect a single pick for him since we were not going to qualify him anyway.

Not seeing how that has anything to do with the Rangers.

Doesn't seem to happen all that often, but when a player doesn't want to be here, he has to go. It took a little longer then anticipated in the case of Georgiev. Drury seems to have gotten some good value for him.

 

[RagFinMet]

Nice job

 

[BobMarleyNYR]

I'll be BFed, Sakic moved swiftly to snap up this hot commodity for essentially early rights.... NO ONE is giving him his QO...

I mean, its not like he didn't want to be here cause he hated New York , the franchise, or the other players. He was a good teammate (except for ADA) according to all reports and not a cancer. He just wanted a starting job or at least a shot at a starting job, which he will not get in NYC.

 

[bhamill]

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

If he gets the lions share of the work he may be really good for you. He was not going to get that here and he was too costly and unhappy for a backup.
I think it’s a trade that works for both teams honestly, you got a guy who you can give a try, and we got a few mid rounders for a player we WERE going to let go one way or the other. Though, also honestly, I’m not sure I’d be comfortable with him for my deep playoff run.

 

[Whoot Whoot]

who becomes our backup?

 

[Ruggs225]

who becomes our backup?

Olaf lindbum..

Haha

 

[Kaapo Cabana]

If they do, he won’t be the reason why. Just like kuemper wasn’t the reason why this year.

who becomes our backup?

Is Garand anywhere near making a jump?

 

[mike14]

Can't believe we basically recouped the Vatrano, Motte and Braun deals just with Georgiev.. l. Nice work Drury.

OT - cant believe what the Hawks gave away DeBrincat for!

 

[Zynbanejad]

who becomes our backup?

Charlie Lindgren

 

[egelband]

Great return for what we expected. Two 3rds and a 5th? That said, it signals that teams think Georgie has some upside as a starter so it could end up looking like a steal the other way. Colorado has Francouz at 2M signed and Geo won’t likely cost less than 1.75M so unless Colorado plans to have 9-10M in net and three goalies (which Geo will throw a shit fit over) it looks like he’s going to get a shot to start on the defending champs.

Wait. I heard from Leafs and Oilers fans that Georgiev sucks. I guess Avs front office disagrees.

 

[McRanger92]

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.

Georgiev's problem was he had no feel for the game. He would always keep lesser teams in games where the Rangers were playing well enough to win handily. The 2 that stick out this year were the Buffalo game where Lindgren scored with a second left, and the Devils game where Kreider scored in the shootout and taunted Subban. Basically the team always had to bail him out.

Contrast that with Igor, who will give up some goals, but never when the team needs him to hold firm. Real yin and yang situation. Hopefully next years backup is a guy who can play 30-35 games and just make the saves he should make.

As for Georgie, I thnk he can be an effective starter, but I really worry about his game in the playoffs with the bad body language and his propensity to give up softies (Danton Heinen in G3 against PIT). I will continue to bet the overs in games he starts. Consistently a winning strategy.

 

[cwede]

Is Garand anywhere near making a jump?

that could be really a self-defeating strategy, he should be playing a lot, wherever he is
IF Shesty, or the BU,miss some time, sure, Garand could fill in then

 

[NickyFotiu]

I still can't imagine he couldn't have gotten something better for Buchnevich.

The player I wanted and most the league passed on was injured Tarasenko.
