I don't like this at all. As a rival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Rangers made out pretty well in giving up a goalie who was never going to take the net away from Igor Shesterkin. I mentioned in the chatbox that Georgiev has been wanting to be an NHL starter and now the Champions are going to give him that chance, so time for Georgiev to put up, or shut up. This can work out fantastic for Colorado, or could be one of the biggest mistakes they have made in goal, since, well, thinking Grubauer was a championship goalie after looking good as a backup. It's up to Georgiev now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yave1964 Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Rangers now need a veteran goalie who knows his place to be Shesterkins backup. Holtby comes to mind. I love the aggressive nature of this move for Colorado. Too many times when a team wins it all they stand pat and rest on their laurels. Sakic aggressively just improved the net, Kuemper was below .900 save pct and yet they went 16-4 running over everyone in the postseason. It woulda been so easy to just extend him for a year or two and say, ;well he was good enough to win us a cup last year, lets give him another kick of the can' but Sakic added a young hungry goalie with something to prove and a chip on his shoulders. They have lots and lots of free agents to deal with but the net is now filled in a bigger and better way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
