Seravalli: Georgiev has requested a trade

[ICanMotteBelieveIt]

So according to a lot of rumors our backup Georgiev wants out.

Any takers for a 2nd perhaps? Edmonton, Arizona?

Maybe he was the real problem all along.

Maybe he was the real problem all along.

He's a 1B goalie who's inconsistent and behind a legit #1 goalie so I get this request.

Shesterkin is our G, might as well have a cheaper backup and cash in on Georgiev.

I'm joking about 'the fight'.

Still, there's no good reason for a 1b to request a trade when he's competing with an unestablished goalie prospect. NYR is the best fit for him. So this is a red flag.

To Carolina for Raanta.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Edmonton would be dumb to not be in on this even if they have to buy out Koskinen.

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

Well if he wants the net, Arizona has one open.

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

Hate to say it but a lot of teams made goalie moves yesterday, and none of them involved Georgie. I don't think he's going to get the starting opportunity he wants anywhere in the NHL.

Except maybe Buffalo.

Edmonton would be dumb to not be in on this even if they have to buy out Koskinen.

Is the buyout window still open?

 

[Stewie Griffin]

Georgiev along with a cap dump to Arizona? Buffalo?

Edmonton also makes sense if they cleared a spot for him.

What about Edmonton or Arizona? or SJ? I know SJ got Reimer but who else?

There's a million good reasons to request a trade, they just don't all have hockey as the primary motivation. Maybe he doesn't agree with Allaire's
coaching or assessment of his style. Maybe it's loyalty to Quinn. Maybe the rest of the team thinks he's a schlep for firing the first shot at a teammate but not taking any of the heat. Maybe the big city life doesn't suit him. You never know.

"maybe his teammates think he's a schlep" isn't a good reason from a hockey perspective.

 

[NYRKing]

This has been known. He wants to start and that's not happening with Shesty. There are a bunch of teams who should take a shot on him and even though NY is asking for a 1st, especially with what Keumper returned, a 2nd plus another late pick or prospect probably gets it done.

 

[miscs75]

Carolina need another goalie? Please make it happen

 

[edguy]

Only few places for him to go. And those places aren't the kind of teams who are giving up 1sts right now.

Arizona or Buffalo are the only real teams without a bonafide #1 this season.

I'm guessing thye get a prospect and a mid round pick back

 

[Fataldogg]

The Rangers will trade him for a 6'5" 240LB goon who has beaten Wilson in a fight. It appears Drury's entire strategy is to assemble a team that will physically crush Wilson.

 

[SickNice]

As Rangers fan, I think people are massively overvaluing what he's worth in the market.

 

[SML2]

"maybe his teammates think he's a schlep" isn't a good reason from a hockey perspective.

Maybe it's his perception and not even really the way they feel. That's the point. It's not the team cutting him loose, it's him asking to leave. The reasons don't have to make sense to anyone but him.

 

[SanBlom]

We can give you Nate Thompson and Jones.

 

[Seachd]

Krazy-Eyes Kassian, bam.

Although I’m not sure Holland would do that.

 

[NjdevilfanJim]

Interesting to see where he goes he's a decent goalie.....Better for Rangers though to keep him see if team gets desperate mid season

 

[moosemeister]

I do want him in AZ, but not this year. I'd rather let tank commander Hutton take most of these losses this year.

If a deal is available during next summer, yes

I would hardly call Shest an "unestablished goalie prospect." He's clearly better than Georgiev.

Value is probably a 2nd or 3rd round pick. He didn't help his value last season.
