Roster Building Thread - Part II: Entry Draft Edition

[Off Sides]

With LTIR, no players really need to retire anymore while still under contract.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Solid return for Georgiev. Will be interesting to see him in Colorado, do they run a Georgiev/Francouz tandem? Not sure how confident I'd be in that but they just won a cup with Kuemper playing .900sv% hockey so I don't think it really matters for them.

 

[CLW]

Geo to Colorado for a 3 and 5 in 2022

Nice work, Drury.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Wow that's not a bad return for Geo at all. I would have been happy with 1 3rd lol.

 

[FIRE DRURY]

Happy for Georgie, and the Rangers for that return. If he wins the cup Hank never did with them though, I might have to find a new sport to obsess over.

I recommend watching Brazilian woman’s volleyball.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Not confortable with Kinkaid as our backup. Drury gonna need to do something about that.

 

[NYR94]

2023 SCF Shesty vs. Georgiev

 

[rangers1314]

More ammo now to sweeten the pot to rid ourselves of Nemeth.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Not confortable with Kinkaid as our backup. Drury gonna need to do something about that.

You're off your rocker if you think he won't.

Not enough people are talking about the hole in the roster Drury just created. I agree.

 

[jerseyjinx94]

Drury and Sakic are friends. Not surprised they worked out a fair trade.

 

[DanielBrassard]

I do think Geo is better than his numbers so I wouldn't be surprised to see him have success with Colorado.

 

[bleedblue94]

jesus christ did drury hit a homerun with this trade.

 

[I Eat Crow]

Nah.

Addition by subtraction from a locker room standpoint. The room is going to be a better place to be.

 

[NYR94]

So Kuemper was a one and done in Colorado

 

[Tob]

Goodbye Georgiev, great return, worthy of a thumbs up

 

[DanielBrassard]

Good point, and hopefully that's what they do. Another buyout on the books would be a pain in the rear end.

 

[rangers1314]

I was kidding!

 

[haveandare]

Hope Geo doesn’t like refined sugar

 

[FIRE DRURY]

[TheBPA]

Not confortable with Kinkaid as our backup. Drury gonna need to do something about that.

Kinkaid is a UFA btw. The only way he comes back is to play in Hartford. He is not an NHL goalie.

Finding a #2 shouldn't be a problem.

Holtby, Rittich, Eric Comrie, Halak, Charlie Lindgren....all will be available for between $1-2 million.

 

[Tob]

if there are moron GMs willing to pay Grubauer $36,000,000 playing behind that COL team with terrible underlying numbers, imagine what Kuemper can get. Colorado will rightfully value him at $4M-$5M. He hasn't made big money in the league yet. He'll get $10M more on the open market.

It's been talked about, but the center discussion has overshadowed it. Everyone knew Georgiev would be gone one way or another.

finding a GOOD #2 tho.... i'd take Holtby. Rittich is the worst goalie i've ever seen

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Holtby is the obvious answer it seems to me.
