This. He's a good backup, borderline starter. He has his flaws, but every backup does.

Shestorkin is the starter. Period. Enough of the tandem. I am sure that the Rangers are doing their due diligence and are evaluating what they have in the pipeline, but they really need to know what they have.
Does Huska have a future as an NHL backup? Wall looks like he may get there one day but he's not ready for it yet. Is Lindbolm even playing in Sweden? He's a wildcard. Garand is still in juniors and years away from getting any kind of pro time. This is why you keep rolling the dice on goalies. One is going to pan out eventually. Shesterkin was a 4th rounder but the writing on the wall was that he was going to be where he is now from the very beginning. The Rangers need to keep taking flyers on the under scouted Russian and EU goalies.
The draft this year is looking very defense heavy at the top where the Rangers are very likely to be picking top 10 or 15 again. If Beniers and Johnson are off the board, this is the right year to take the flyer on the highly ranked goalie. Wallstedt should be the pick this year if the two American centers are off the board. This pipeline doesn't need another top defenseman. Not this year.

One thing with Georgiev is that he still has time on his side to grow. Yes, he looks like garbage at the moment and Shesterkin is the starter, but he is going to get some valuable time with Allaire over the next year and a half before they have to decide what to do with him. I do think the end result is that he is moved and another backup is either promoted (Wall, Huska) or they sign someone for that role.
He's been getting beat over the glove a lot this year, especially on breakaways. I'm sure him and Allaire are working on it.

It is never the right year to take the flyer on the highly ranked goalie.

I don’t know where else to post this.
Do you guys think DeAngelo has a shot at another NHL roster? Honest question.
And please, omit any kind of political nonsense and bs. We all know how he is, the actions he’s committed, what’s done is done. It’s clear he can’t be in a NYR sweater again.
Most likely he gets bought out? Crossing fingers Seattle picks him so you don’t have to do that?
I don’t say this as a DeAngelo fan, I’m saying it as someone who is in a deep fantasy league (with 24 GMs) where cap is factored in. If DeAngelo gets bought out and on a different team, it could be a win for me as this league is a points only league, and his production at a cheap cap hit (even the 4.8m hit wouldn’t be bad) is good for me.
Guess this could’ve been a mainboards question, but I don’t need 30 other fan bases telling me his “political views and cancerous human being” bs. I’m talking about TD as a hockey player and what his future is.
What are your thoughts? NYR mods, please move this post accordingly if this is the wrong spot. Do not want to derail this thread, even though TD technically is still on the roster.

Unless they are choosing top-5 , this is exactly the right here to do it. Perfect situation for the team.

Does he have a shot? Sure. Not sure it will be this year, though. But I think that he will get another chance.
As much as you don’t want to hear it, you can’t separate the person off the ice from the one on it.
His agent has floated the idea of him playing on a non Hartford ahl squad, and so far no organization wants him near their kids. That speaks pretty highly of what other gms think.

it's okay cause it's all just the way it should be
I think he gets bought out in the summer and gets picked up somewhere. There are some markets (Seattle) where I'd say there's no chance, and he's not a very easy player to integrate into a lineup because his d-zone play really is bad, you do need to cover for him. And a lot of teams have better players or much younger players that they want to develop as the point man on the powerplay.

Yes, hes too talented to not play in the league. He will be bought out at the end of the season and will likely get a 1 year prove it deal with a team lacking a PP QB

POOr OLA. HE'd be DEAD. Have not been out since March 8 (in Iceland!), last year though (since the COVID thang started)...

Why is Howden not on waivers today? Hell, Justin Dowling is on waivers today and he has better stats than Howden....but he still sucks.

Call me an el pollo loco, but I want Gorton to call the other 30 GMs to see who wants to take Kreider's contract and what kind of asset/s we can get for Strome. Both guys are playing so well lately and I'm sure playoff contenders would be willing to trade some really nice assets for them. Plus, we'd free up some cap space to re-sign our RFAs like Buch, Igor, Chytil, Lindgren and Gauthier (but not Howden) and have some maneuverability to acquire big time players (like Jack Eichel, if it tickles our fancy) who can help us next year.
