Confirmed with Link: Rangers Trade Georgiev to Avs for 3rd + 5th '22 + 3rd '23

this is a big win I would of dealt him for the 5th lol

I would have dealt him for "A" fifth.
No preference on what alcohol. Irrelevant.

This gives Drury and his team a few swings later in the draft which is good news. They will need to find a player or two and 2 more picks will help. It alleviates some cap constraints as well which is good.

Drury should get credit for this. This is a good deal

Who has the approximate value of these picks? Are (2) 3rd + 5th equal to a 2nd? I know there is a calculation out there....

Paging @RangerBoy

I'll take a shot. Essentially they are 2 4th's and a sixth, which is somewhat equivalent to a mid 3rd round pick.
But, strength in numbers, right?

It's reported that Toronto doesn't have ANY goaltenders signed.
Is it possible that Toronto was the team Drury pitted against and not Edmonton? Actually makes more sense that it was Edm. because they are in same conference. Just wondering. But, good job CD.

It would be insane if next year the stanley cup finals ends up being the Avs VS the Rangers and it's literally Georgiev VS Shesterkin. That's like a WWE storyline in the making.

Don't see WHY it couldn't be. We were THIS close, and with the right upcoming moves, we can take the next step or 2. Georgiev probably will be fine, with that powerhouse in front of him. The West seems a bit easier to make finals than the East, but that could change. Yes, insane it would be. He would have a chance to then "stick it where the sun won't shine".

What's the backstory on Geo being born in Bulgaria?

What's the backstory on Geo being born in Bulgaria?

Probably the same as most Bulgarians. His parents did the horizontal folk dance and headed to a hospital 9 months later (his mum is Russian and dad Bulgarian).
At some point after that the family moved to Russia edit - apparently when he was 1

They won’t shake hands in the lineup

Triple H or Vince McMahon?

If it's Vince then neither can say goalie but only refer to themselves as a "professional athlete" and both will have to do the same introduction pose and same signature save in every game because the WWE is all about repetition.

If Russo is involved, Igor's wife is going to turn heel and join Georgie.

Knowing us we will prob draft the next Shesterkin with one of these picks.

Never realized your Jane Doe pic. Excited to see them open for Meshuggah tomorrow.
