Alexandar Georgiev name has been in the NHL trade rumors mill since last summer when he requested a trade, hoping to break out from behind Igor Shesterkin.
Things have not gone so smooth for Georgiev in New York, remember last year when he got into a fight with Tony DeAngelo?
Chris Johnston was on TSN’s Insider trading and reports Georgiev is the most likely goaltender to get traded at the deadline. Even over Marc-Andre Fleury.
Johnston went on to say, Georgiev is different than a lot of the players at the trade deadline as he’s not a pure rental. He’ll be a restricted free agent after the season.
The Rangers will have salary cap trouble in keeping Georgiev beyond this season. Signing him to his qualifying offer and having enough money to go around the rest of the roster.
The Vegas Golden Knights and Toronto Maple Leafs are teams that could have interest in a Georgiev trade.
