Confirmed with Link: Shesterkin recalled.

[GeorgeKaplan]

Larry just tweeted that Igor had an out clause option to jump overseas this season at any time. I thought that wasn’t an option until next season?

he’s wrong on that. It’s for next year

I thought that was just Rykov, but Shesterkin said during training camp and early on in Hartford he understood the whole goalie situation and was willing to stay and deal with it

 

[Filthy Dangles]

After yesterday, Martin Jones is going to hit the injury report soon after the Sharks strap him to a cruise missile and fire him into an active volcano

That's way too much trouble.

Just say he's allergic to his equipment and/or force him to get a surgery he does't need. Sincerely, Chicago.

Remember; Lundqvist stole Weekes' job when he got hurt. It is possible Shesterkin can steal Lundqvist's job if he sits for a decent while.

 

[Killem Dafoe]

Awesome news. What a first team to play against.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

I’d like to get out ahead of this and say if Hank is healthy, running 3 goalies is moronic

Imo, one has nothing to do with the other simply b/c Hank is a paid a ton and has a NTC.

The Rangers are seeing Lundqvist breaking down. They say he was not feeling well. Who really knows?

And I thought I treated the cold and flu dramatically

 

[East Coast Bias]

Hank’s contract and unwillingness to leave is killing this team. He’s the new Eli Manning.

Are you aware of accepted trades that Hank vetoed?

I'd love to hear the details. Please tell us.

 

[Kovalev27]

I just spoke to brooks thru dm he said he spoke to his agent to confirm so looks like we have been going on bad info all along his EAC is for this season. Not next.

 

[Riche16]

I feel like Hank is sick and this is a perfect time for his cup o java

we’ll see I guess but I don’t think we’re dealing Geo (right now)

You actually believe the Rangers are the ones holding back a trade? Yeah, the Rangers really want to keep Hank and Staal b/c they are a huge part of a rebuild

Love that they're throwing Igor right into the fire against MacKinnon and co. Can't wait for tomorrow!

 

[BBKers]

So....the plot thickens. I heard something was up yesterday

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Honestly if they made this move to keep him from going back to Russia, playing for this team behind this group of D in this system is going to make it more likely that he bolts.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

excited and confused all at once.

Maybe you, too, have the flu.

Hmnmm......

Another move related to the recall, or the recall itself?????

This post will not age well.

Anything else you care to disclose?

I’m sure his new paychecks will ease the pain

 

[NYSPORTS]

Coyotes?

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Wow, ok. So they will be carrying 3 goalies and giving Shesty some well deserved NHL time to guard against his out clause?

Maybe a little birdie whispered in their ear, because it's one thing bringing up a rookie G and its another bringing one up and putting him between the pipes straight away against a top NHL team at home, with TWO other goalies on the active roster.

 

[will1066]

This is by far and away the most exciting Hartford recall since Johan Witehall.

But, seriously, I think the writing is on the wall for Hank and/or Georgi. Or, they go to a three-goalie system, which will be painful and awkward, but hey, you only Rongos once.

 

[Crease]

My guess is they're getting offers for Georgiev and want to see Shesty in the NHL before they pull the trigger on a trade.

I posted this below yesterday in the Lias Andersson thread. I heard no specifics other than something was brewing, likely a trade, but I have no idea about who. Will call around after dinner here.

Lets for a moment suppose (not saying this will happen or heard it will happen) that the following scenario instead ensues. Rangers hit a big skid in January. The entire coaching staff is subsequently fired. Lias gets a new chance from the new coach (after signing with Frölunda with the Rangers approval) - say it is Mike Babcock. He works his way up to a third line center role and is either dealt for an amicable return or becomes a staple of a future winning PO team. That is the better asset management procedure by GMJG. Personal vendettas may feel good - but they seldom are the correct path of a smart man. There are a lot of things we do not know anything about here. Or amongst the beatnix writers. Everyone is very tight lipped. But, something is up. That I have heard. Today.
