To Everyone Questioning Why....

This is not anything to do with Georgiev. This move is purely for Hartford and to add some veteran AHL experience to assist Adam Huska.

Now that Shesterkin is stayin with NYR, the Wolfpack needed another goalie to share the duties.

And from the Flyers perspective, they wanted to clear a spot in the AHL for Ustimenko. He was struggling to adapt early on, but has been great in the ECHL recently, and was lights out in his AHL debut.

Works out for both teams.

This is probably as replacement for Shesterkin in the AHL and keep him up. Will the Rangers make a move in the NHL though ? Or will they keep all 3 guys until the offseason and see if they can move out Georgiev then or find something with Henrik ?

Reminder Flyers last year played 8 goalies including gems like Mckenna and Pickard and a bit shell shocked. This year way more normal.Side note one less contract for Flyers could mean room for depth in next week.

I don't understand, why not just sign Tyler Wall when his college season is over?

Because they want another AHL goalie now and not in several weeks? Berube is UFA after the year and most likely isn't gonna be re-signed.

EDIT: unless they need the expansion eligible goalie.
