Rangers need to pay the Sabres to take their cap dumps

Could get more for Georgie imo.

i was debating a 2nd and 3rd

I feel like if we moved him we’d get a 2nd and 4th. Sort of like when moving Talbot.

Yeah, he's no Aaron Dell or your 40 year old goalie who will have a GAA of over 4 on your team. Georgie isn't going to be the next Hasek but he is much better than what you have currently and it's not like he's overpaid... he's just making a bit much for a back-up.

Drury wanted a 1st, but now that everyone knows he requested a trade, that will not happen. A 2nd and a 4th seems very realistic to me, up to Drury.

Eh I don’t think goalies really get moved for a 1st. Doesn’t happen too often. To me a 2nd and 4th is fair.

Completely agree, however Kuemper just fetched a first while Fleury went for nothing... goalies are voodoo when it comes to assessing trade value especially in a flat cap world. Drury is posturing, but he'd be foolish to refuse a 2nd and a 4th.

Yeah I think he’d take it for sure. Especially if it projects to be an early 2nd next year.

The sabres have their goalies for a reason. In case it hasnt been obvious for the last 4 months, theyre tanking. Dell also has a 2 way so they can swap between him and UPL

Tanking for 4 months... seems like you have been tanking for the last ten years. Sure playing with a bunch of AHL players will be great for the development of Dahlin, Cozens, and Mittelstadt. Might be useful to have a goalie who could actually help you be competitive, but what do us Rangers fans know about rebuilding.

Yeah getting an over priced 25 year old mediocre russian back up goalie is really going to turn around the season and help develop Dahlin, Cozens, and Mittelstadt. What planet are you on

I know 2.45 million may be a bit rich for such a frugal organization to pay for someone who could be a starter on at least ten other NHL teams, but hey spend your money on Skinner, Okposso, Butcher, and Eakins while surrounding kids with a bunch of scrubs, it will work out great! You won't become the next Edmonton Oilers filled with tons of high end talent a culture of losing, no defense, and no goaltending. If you think Georgiev isn't a vast improvement over Anderson and Dell, I have to question if you have even been watching hockey the past few years?

I didnt say unaffordable, im curious when Georgiev became such a locker room leader. Its hilarious you think they signed Anderson and Dell to win and are not blatently tanking for Wright

When did I say they aren't tanking? Are you even reading my posts, clearly not. Having a non competitive team with young kids who you expect to be part of the future core is extremely dangerous in breeding a losing mentality. It's the reason why the Rangers didn't just tank and kept useful veterans along with actual NHL players to play with kids. Play a team full of scrubs with Dahlin, Cozens, Thompson, and Mittelstadt, I am sure they will push jump ship as soon as they can like Eichel.

But what does that have to do with Georgiev, hes not a vet, hes not experienced, he has no championships, and would not be a part of Buffalos future. Youre so focused on trying to be right you forgot the point you were arguing

Those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones... again, did you even read my last post? Georgiev isn't a veteran, interesting as he's played about 100 games, more than 33 games in two seasons, once during a shortened season. He could easily be a starting goalie on about 10 NHL teams today plus is leaps and bounds better than your AHL goalie and someone who is literally on his last leg. The point is you want to field a competitive team with some of your young core players that I assume your GM intends to build around (Dahlin, Thompson, Mittelstadt, and Cozens). Georgiev will definitely make the Sabres more competitive today, if you want to debate that I honestly am going to question how much of Georgiev, Dell, and Anderson you watched in the last two years. It's about having a goalie in net that gives you a chance to win games, Ullmark did that for you, having Geogiev would provide the Sabres a chance to field a competitive team.
