Confirmed Trade: [COL/NYR] Alexandar Georgiev for 2022 3rd and 5th round picks, and 2023 3rd round pick

[Muffin]

I don't understand either fanbase wanting to spike the football here. The bottom line is that the Rangers got great value for a player these boards thought was crap, and the team couldn't afford to bring back anyway. Colorado got a goalie who has played beyond their expectations. Georgiev wanted to start, and now gets to start on the defending Cup champion with a great roster in front of him. Literally everyone won this trade.

It's because there's a group of Rangers fans who HATES Georgiev and I mean HATES who wants him to fail badly. One of them went to the Avs boards after a PRESEASON game.

Gourgeist is too inconsistent for that. I reject your argument.

For some people, the truth is like holy water or garlic for a vampire...

Good deal for both teams btw

Georgiev is a fantastic goalie. He’s the best goalie the Avs have had in ages.

Avs won this trade by miles and miles. Not against the NYR… but they won this trade against teams like Edmonton or Chicago that made different goalie decisions this past summer.

I like this, it's an honest assessment, not everything has to be a win or lose for both teams involved.

I guess, but that would make me frustrated at that poster, not the trade. Like, Georgiev made a point to celebrate big after beating the Rangers early in the season. A little bit of a dick move? Maybe. But I get it. He was frustrated. He was sandwiched between a legend and the next big thing (Shesterkin had pretty much been anointed as the next starter before he ever played an NHL game). None of that changes the fact that everyone got what they wanted/needed out of that trade. I guess some people (ie: the folks who went to your boards after a preseason game) just need to be miserable.

Is this the Ryder and a 2nd or the Carey Price thread?

Another .950 performance from the most inconsistent goaltender in thr NHL.

Imagine if he had Adam Fox in front of him. He would win the Vezina

 

[The Merchant]

Yet another extremely inconsistent .950

Are Aves fans going to update this 5 times a day?

Georgiev tipped his uber eats driver 38%. No other goalie in the league gives more than 18%. Plan the parade!

 

[Foppberg]

Love Georgie.

Rangers fans used to update the Andrew Copp trade thread last year after literally every assist he got.

So nah, we'll keep this one open as well.

 

[Avs2022]

If it wasn't for Georgy and Mikko, we'd never win a game these days with the injuries.

Maybe they should if NYR fans keep bumping it when he has a one bad game?

Come on man !

Georgiev currently sits 4th in save percentage and 9th in GSAx.

Sup

 

[Davenport]

Thank goodness Adams didn't waste a couple of picks on this guy.

 

[McJedi]

This Geo cat is Vezina level for the Avs. He’s amazing.

if the Oilers offered their 2023 1st for him unprotected, that’s a hell no from the Avs.

i wouldn’t trade him for either of Kappo or LaF straight up.

 

[Ararana]

I'm just gonna put this here...

 

[AMDZen]

Only 1 of his last 6 games he's had a SV% of .900 or higher.

He's come crashing back down to earth.

Crashing down for sure.....

Maybe Rangers fans are wondering if they got rid of the right guy?

 

[El Travo]

George has been great and Shesterkin is great. I would have moved George too if I were the Rangers. It's funny seeing his haters being silenced though.

 

[HockeyVirus]

Things seem to be coming apart for Georgiev. Will be interesting to see if he puts it back together

Just so that we can be appropriate when we chuckle, how many games of a sample are you basing this on?

He has a .900 sv% in December. It's actually a bigger sample size than when he was playing lights out when the thread was bumped previously in November.
