Our goaltending's gonna suck again next season but it is what it is.

 

[sethro109]

Well I don't think anyone saw this coming.

 

[pockets]

It's 2 3rds and a 5th...

Adios Darcy.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Let’s go.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Oh boy... Georgiev/Francouz tandem.

Didn't cost us anything of value, though.

 

[LOFIN]

I mean tandem of Georgiev and Frankie is better than Annunen and Frankie but not much... I don't like this. Means Kuemper is gone and no MFA.

I like Georgiev but this is not good enough... Well, more guys from Turku and TPS! Rantanen loves it.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Well I don't think anyone saw this coming.

Check the rumors page from about an hour and a half ago

 

[Ceremony]

Better hope the leadership can keep his apparent personality issues in line.

 

[Stories]

Uhh... So... This is really the combo we roll with?

 

[Lonewolfe2015]

2 3rds and a 5th isn't much, but when the rumors where he was a terrible member of the lockers in New York I'm very skeptical about bringing him in. Not that the team can't handle it, but how long before his attitude is a problem?

First pick in the 6th round this year, woof.

 

[pockets]

I guess the real question now is what does Sakic do with the cap space he saved by not re-signing Darcy?

Gotta think Kadri's rights along with Kuemper's are now on the table.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Goaltending solved!

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

 

[SirLoinOfCloth]

Kuemper haters will be rejoicing, until the season starts at least.

 

[95snipes]

Nooo. f*** no. Georgiev sucks. Horrible price. Bad start to the offseason.

About Georgiev’s attitude​

There have been some stories circulating about Georgiev and his attitude. The most prominent account was from Arthur Staple of The Athletic (subscription required) who wrote “His attitude hasn’t been incredibly positive, either, according to sources. The 25-year-old pending restricted free agent has alienated some around the team with his barely hidden desire to be a No. 1 goalie elsewhere.”

Ranger rumbles: Georgiev’s latest and Kravtsov update

The latest from the New York Rangers on a practice day includes reports about Georgiev's attitude, the latest on Vitali Kravtsov and a former coach is axed.

Sounds like he just really wants playing time and to be the #1.

[The Shermanator]

Would have liked to have seen Kuemper's face when he saw this news.

Assuming he was still hoping to get a deal here.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Horrible. Georgiev is worse then Kuemper.

 

[Balthazar]

He's only 26 and there's some upside there. He didn't have a great season but was unhappy with the Rags. However was great in the 2 playoff games that he played (.935) and was good in previous seasons.

I really like the upside.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Now give Nuke 8 years. Joe’s going to make a UFA splash

 

[95snipes]

Horrible. Georgiev is worse then Kuemper.

This. So disappointed.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

He's 25. Very interesting that Annunen was said to be the only piece they Avs refused to trade at the deadline, and then Joe goes out and trades for a young guy that will seemingly be the man for the next 5-8 years.
