Confirmed with Link: TRADE: Sharks trade G Mackenzie Blackwood, F Givani Smith, 2027 5th to COL for G Alexandar Georgiev, F Nikolai Kovalenko, '26 2nd, Cond'l '25 5th

[timorous me]

I remember from his time with the Rangers that Georgiev got into a fight with Tony Deangelo which led to Deangelo getting waived by the Rangers. I have to say, despite what might be able to be said about getting into it with a teammate, I like that Georgiev didn't hesitate to go right back at that dickhead.

“Coming down the tunnel, I yelled at Georgi, ‘Make a f—-ing save’,” DeAngelo said. “So, if I didn’t yell at Georgi, Georgi wasn’t gonna turn around and try to do anything. That’s a fact. Obviously, I started it. I wasn’t thinking what happened next was gonna happen, that was a surprise to me.”

DeAngelo says Georgiev then head-butted him, goalie mask to player visor, which bloodied the defenseman. He retaliated by hitting the netminder in the helmet with his stick before teammates quickly separated the two.

Kovalenko might be what the Sharks hoped Kunin would grow into one day but alas, he did not.

He looks like a blend of Barbie and Goose (gotta keep the Russian factor!)

Worth it if Kovalenko plays like he has thus far. He's a nice fit.

It was worth it even if he didn't do anything, but we really needed another wing that could do some skill things. From what I read about him, he sounded like more of a puck retrieval dirty work in front of the net guy, but that apple to Walman for the goal was real nice.

is he like what we want kostin to be?

Yes, but in a smaller package

He’s advertised as a goalie who wins?

I hope you were or are in public relations professionally and if not, you should be.
