Confirmed with Link: Shesterkin recalled.

What does this mean?

Are you suggesting the Leafs sell off pieces for a 38 year old back up and that if they don't they'll sink the team for a century? I don't understand.

Yeah like you move pieces for veterans to help you win the cup.

The Leafs move pieces and money for players who don't help them.

Guys,

let's assume:
1) Georgiev is not traded by trade deadline,
AND
2) Georgiev is not traded in the offseason,
AND
3) Lundqvist stays for 20/21 season
AND
4) Shesty proves in 19/20 he is at nhl level.

Do you think it would be good idea to share almost all games (let say at least 65-70 between two young goalies and max 12-15 for Hank). Of course assuming alex and igor will still play at solid or at least average nhl level. It would be risky 3 goalies rotation but with two main goalies and with:
A) experienced mentor who is happy he can contribute to talent development in his beloved organisation (and who retires there with nice salary for that last year) but plays very seldom
OR
B) former star goalie in his final year of the contract who is pissed off he does not get as many games as he wishes (but still he retires in his beloved organisation and receives nice salary for the final year).

For me A) is ideal but B) is acceptable and still good scenario (and for sure better than trading georgiev or having shesty in the ahl). Do you agree?

Do you think in case of B) Hank would like and would be able to spoil relations in the team? I don't think so, I think he is too classy and he wouldn't like to risk his reputation, especially in the final year.

And finally do you think our front office would decide to implement the aboved scenario?

 

[Fitzy]

I've never heard of such a thing as three goalies sharing the workload, and honestly, I don't think it's a good plan unless it meant totally disrespecting Hank and having him be the permanent backup while Georg and Shesty split games between the NHL and Hartford.

I'm open to trading Hank but that scenario- or buying him out, are a bridge too far for me in terms of treating our best player of the last two decades and one of the top 5 in franchise history.

I am a fan of this 41 game exit clause rumor. Get him a game to make sure conditions are met to invalidate the clause. God knows, he's earn it. Awesome if he did say he'd soldier in the A even without a call-up. I think an audition might help GMJG make a decision on trading a goalie too. Most likely AG as HL has a NTC, IIRC. I don't imagine Shesty would be involved in a trade unless we are talking about getting a franchise player in return because Shesty has franchise goalie written all over himself.

I think it's been proven that the 41 game clause is false.

At least that was AK said and he knows all when it comes to this stuff.

I think either Lundqvist leaves or Georgiev is traded. I see a zero percent chance all three guys are with the organization next year.

Ok, what is your best sceario? Let's assume hank does not agree on any trade. What should our front office do if shesty plays at nhl level?

 

[Michal]

Ok, so you think shesty will play in the nhl if he proves his value (and another goalie will leave). Thanks for your opinion (I dont believe Hank leaves).

 

[NernieBichols]

Can we please not speculate on hanks post-retirement plans.

Little too E! News for me

Isles just did it a couple years ago didn’t they?

Greiss, J.A. Berube and somebody else

 

[True Blue]

Next year, probably not. This year, I think that unless someone wants to pay premium for Georgiev, there is a three goalie rotation. And I cannot see Henke going to another organization.

 

[KennyWu]

With the "opener" becoming popular in baseball, I think it's clear the Rangers plan to revolutionize the game of hockey and have each goalie take one period each per game. Only logical answer.

 

[nyr2k2]

It was JF Berube spelling Greiss and Halak, but IIRC it was only like a dozen or so games. Not quite a rotation.

 

[Michal]

It's what I propose. 2 main goalies and 1 with maximum dozen of games. Basically rotation between the two Gs.

it was a disaster that was literally a distraction everyday questioned by the press everyday halak has his agent publicly having a fit over it

 

[GAGLine]

It was JF Berube spelling Greiss and Halak, but IIRC it was only like a dozen or so games. Not quite a rotation.

And as I recall, none of them were happy about it.

 

[GAGLine]

I don't really see it working for 82 games.

 

[Kovalev27]

Georgiev will be dealt soon. This isn’t going to fly it never has never will and Frankly hank doesn’t deserve it.

Not to mention this isn’t a couple bumps on a log in Greiss Berube and Halak here. This is a top prospect a good young goalie and a future hall of famer.

Now I see I misunderstood your post. Anyway I still think my weird proposal could work

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

The speculation in the goalie department will buy the Rangers brass sometime to avoid the "why is Kakko playing like shit" Brooksie article that's right around the corner.

 

[nyr2k2]

I mean I can see it lasting until around the TDL, but unless Shesterkin totally shits the bed, Georgiev will be moved.

The only thing that changes that is if Henrik signalled to the team he'd be moving on next season, which isn't happening.

How does the shootout work?

be moved.

The only thing that changes that is if Henrik signalled to the team he'd be moving on next season, which isn't happening.

If Georgiev becomes BFFs with John Macenroe and Michael J. Fox, he will be able to bring in more money for the Garden of Dreams.

Until then, Georgie girl is on the hot plate

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

How does the shootout work?

Just turn the net upside down then backwards and ask the other team if you can play half rink

Then put a bucket in the middle and make the rule that no slap shots outside the circles because that's to cheap , but one of them will do it anyway

“Having Igor playing in Hartford and his situation with his deal and everything, you’re aware of the big picture, for sure,” Lundqvist said. “But when and how and if and all that, you can’t get too involved in that.”

There you go..Igor had to be called up,,,thats the explanation they gave Hank.
