Georgiev is talented but he has spent the past three-plus seasons sitting behind Lundqvist and Shesterkin. He hasn’t developed following a promising start. I think scouts see he can be good and the Rangers have been unwilling to “sell low”. They have basically held Georgiev hostage - albeit well-paid - because of his potential to step in in case of injury to a starter but he’s terrible playing once every two weeks. I suppose they were hoping he’d find a way to develop, but that hasn’t worked. He needs a fresh start. Maybe the Rangers can get a third for him at this point based on potential…

Skinner is starting to look good and we also have Smith. Georgiev would be a test drive in Edmonton and unlike Koskinen would still be an Oilers property after this season.
And yes, Oilers need all the cap space they can get for the deadline loadup..

Win - win for both teams

No it is not . As much as Koskinen gets bashed is is a good back up . With Smith injured we can not afford to roll the dice on a rookie and a struggling goalie . Passes right now but can revisit to 10 to 15 games

Jaro Halak could be had for cheap, Canucks are shitting the bed this year so it is almost a write off already. Plus, Demko is playing a ton so anyone could play backup for the rest of the year ( be less than 10gp most likely)

What about a pretty straight swap of the following:

Rangers get Halak and Chiasson
Canucks get Georgiev and Hajek

The Rangers do it to get better depth for this year. Canucks do it to get younger and two players with team control for next season. Nothing earth shattering, but I think it could help both teams.

I can't imagine what we would even do with Chiasson but I would still do this.

Shoulda got one game in
fine.
I don't have a 3rd this year so I will give you
EITHER
2023 NYR 3rd
OR
22022 NYR + WPG 4ths

+ Hajek + Geo

for

Oskari Laaksonen

basically I'll pay you what OL cost in draft pick and you can have the other 2 as projects for free, and we will recover cap.

Will hockey still be a thing by then?

Edmonton fans would trade Koskinen for a jack strap full of shit, no need to offer anything. The way he is treated, chance are close to nil/zero he resign there anyway.

The thing that they don't know well is Koskinen rank 3rd in goalie all time svg% percentage with the Oilers. 100+ games.

As a goalie, you don't sign in Edmonton to pad your stats. You will recive a healthy support offensively and have to stand on your head to get away with a 2/3 goal a night.

Expect sharp decline in svg to any goalie traded there not comming from a bottom tier team
