Seravalli: Georgiev will Not Re-Sign with Rangers, Rangers Actively Trying to Trade Him

[Vancouver Canucks]

Geogiev is better than Shesterkin. (you will see)

I like your sense of humor.

and Ben Scrivens pitched a 59 save shut out against prime San Jose sharks and look where his career went. I love how one game erases the past 2 seasons.

He used to have games where he stole the show once in a while. Now we get these once a season if lucky. A more typical good game for him is like the one he had against Anaheim last week. Three goals allowed, none particularly bad, and other than that third period goal none were real backbreakers. The guy is capable of having a great game like tonight but he almost never has them anymore. Most NHL goalies are capable of stealing the show once or twice a season. That does not make a good goalie.

he was locked in tonight. pitches a shutout when his team was outshot 44-18. he won the game for them against a very good team.

Kind of like David Ayres?

 

[Mobiandi]

He's a good goalie who could carve out a nice #1A/B career

He does have a bit of the potential.

 

[Black Tank]

Georgiev will be excellent if he is relied upon and treated as the number 1. Beginning his career under the shadow of Henrik and now Shesterkin took some of the confidence out of him, but we saw last night what he can do when a team is counting on him. Plus Shesterkin's bond with his teammates and Rangers' fans has made poor old Georgiev the red headed step child on the team.

 

[Seachd]

I think he becomes an Oiler.

I doubt the Rangers are willing to take Smith, which would need to happen.

Nothing like David Ayres. He faced just 10 shots and let in 2 goals. His win was a combination of the team in front of him locking it down and the opposition trying too many fancy passing plays.

Vegas needs to move Brossoit if they're trading for a goalie to begin with. So I wouldn't be surprised to see something like a 3rd+ Brossoit for Georgiev.

The problem with Brossoit is he's likely too expensive for us to ice as the back-up next season. We really need a sub $1m backup due to the cap issues unless Drury gets really creative. Value would be fine though.

 

[bernmeister]

Georgiev just can't be a backup. First time this season he basically gets deployed like a starter (due to back-to-back against two really strong teams) and he plays out of his mind.

this^.
He got 1x refresher from Benny Allaire to straighten out fact he's a less active #2, but he needs #1 work.

Geo ++ and McKegg for LV 1st +

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

Would take herpes and a 6th back for this guy

 

[bernmeister]

Come to Ottawa

all it will take is best offer, market price, no more, no less. Hit me w/your best shot Pat Benatar.

I doubt the Rangers are willing to take Smith, which would need to happen.

If Oil add and retain max on cap hit for next yr, we can go there, tho obv we prefer an offer that does not require this. We can retain our end and swap other pieces to make cap work now/this yr.

The problem with Brossoit is he's likely too expensive for us to ice as the back-up next season. We really need a sub $1m backup due to the cap issues unless Drury gets really creative. Value would be fine though.

Agree, but if we can flip after the fact, may not be a deal breaker.

Yeah, Smith is a non-starter. We'd take Koskinen though.

Keep the sixth

he is a really frustrating player. he struggles horribly when he gets inconsistent starts but he seems like a goalie that plays better with more PT. there are some goalies that just struggle with less work. that being said it is incredibly difficult to get a team to want to give you a run of games to establish yourself if you struggle in spot duty, but he has made this situation himself.

that lack of playing time for some = inconsistency should not be a shocker.

btw, bold = I am being proven correct here, Geo is like I said, no more, no less. I emphasize this b'c several wanted to insist he is worthless bum, talk down his value. Appreciate you acknowledging the facts.

its been a long time since ive seen a fanbase so constantly and openly rip on and hate a player like the rangers do georgiev.

its constant, on any social media platform, booing him, his IG posts are jammed with weird nerds going after the guy

Fanbase looks very pathetic on this one, the guy is leaving anyway, get over it

To be fair, its been documented that geogiev has been an ahole and doesnt get along with thsir starg goalie shesterkin and has whined about not getting playing time. With how shesterkin has plaged, its not surlrising theyd hate the guy bot getting along with him.

Also, they bought out tony deangelo a very productive defenseman becayse of an aktercation he had where gerogiev punched tony deangelo after deangelo ripped his play. Deangelo may be a jerk, but he was a productive player they shipped off/flat bought out because of georgiev.

Georgiev is a malcontent. If i was ranger fan, id hate him too.

 

[A1LeafNation]

You know he's a good goalie when the team is actively trying to him...in a playoff race.

 

[bernmeister]

Surprised apparently Geo not yet traded.

NYR can even throw in 50% salary retention as a bonus.

That's far from the whole story with DeAngelo, he has been in disciplinary trouble before in basically every team he had played for so far, we'll see if he can keep his head cool in Carolina. There were other incidents with DeAngelo in New York, the altercation with Georgiev was just the final straw after the last warning coming from the GM.

Now that he wasn’t moved, he’s the best goalie in the league, right Rags fans?

no, it's the other guy they got.

It's not as sexy as signing a goalie out of a Euro league, then trying, and failing, to pass him through waivers, but we try.

 

[TheBloodyNine]

At the draft to recoup one of the picks they gave away today (obviously not the 2nds) or a throw-in in a bigger deal
