I also added Lias Andersson given his public trade request, and David Backes given his recent demotion to the AHL.
Why is Georgiev on the trade block.. Couldn't the rangers just keep all 3 goalies until Hank's contract is over next season? They have the cap space to do so and then they'd arguably the best tandem in the league

Keep 3 goalies is difficult for multiple reasons. Hard to play all of them as much as they want, practice rotations are a bit of a nightmare, but the biggest is you are limited with the depth you can have due to injury. Rangers have a cap crunch next year and Georgiev is an RFA. Since he's the GREATEST GOALIE EVER TO LIVE, he's obviously going to want a raise, meaning they will be tying up more than 10 million (probably closer to 12) into goaltending. They still have to resign DeAngelo, Lemieux and potentially Strome as well as Georgiev. He's the obvious move to make because they aren't moving Lundqvist.
However they appear to have send Sherterkin down yesterday, but that might just be for some AHL reps during their break (or even to play in the all-star game).
