Yes, they are. And I have the sickening feeling that if they stick to their guns, we are going to be carrying 3 goalies until July 1st. And that is not the best scenario.

seems like like this is a cut ties with andersen type trade for us. the writing will be on the wall and dubas will schneider andersen ala vancouver if he brings in george now.



a 4th for r.miller is the stop gap for this year and re-visit this one at the draft imo.

Over the last three seasons, only seven goalies have saved 0.2 goals above expected per game or more. Georgiev is one of them, joining John Gibson, Ryan Miller, Ben Bishop, Antti Raanta, Darcy Kuemper and Jordan Binnington. It’s that last name that’s most intriguing as Georgiev’s numbers are nearly identical to Binnington’s over the same amount of games.

Check yourself... He's far from done...

People also forget that goalie stats change to a degree depending on the team. Put Price in St. Louis and see what his numbers look like. Se how many rebounds get cleared from the front of the net.

The Rangers have said they want t top 6 forward they can plug in now, not a prospect. They are trying to raise the bar.

That's a fair statement. New York can ask for whatever they want. He's their asset.

It's up to Dubas to set a line internally as to what he's willing to pay and to not cross that line.

He's already made a couple of mistakes, I think, in negotiating with Matthews & Marner. I understand you keep your young stars happy, and there's an expectation that the cap will go up enough to cover resigning them - which is probably why he and Pridham felt they could do these numbers - but still. We all know they were overpayments.

I think any good GM would set a perceived acquisition value. If what you're willing to pay is exceeded - walk away. There's no benefit to mortgaging your future when you already know better.

Holy (frank) this is what you come up with?

Ryan Miller on the cheap is the most realistic move at this point. But I think he as a NTC so maybe not.

i'm a little weary of paying a premium for a 6'1" potential starter.

he could easily get completely picked apart by opposing forwards with all the time and space we give them to shoot.

Did muzzin sign his extension yet?

Cause thats all i care about right now.

Agreed, the last part especially.

Hes only played what, 33 games or something?

I can't even argue with that. You need to be getting a guy who's really good at making hard saves because we give up a lot of good looks.

The High Danger chances are lessening, but the quality of those chances is just alarming. We give up main Street on the rush way too often and odd-man chances way too often.

I saw your post earlier defending the goals against in Chicago. I won't dispute that the play of the team led to the chances - but I will say that I expect Andersen to have saved at least 3 of those. Those weren't the glorious chances we're speaking of.

. . . but some games. Yeesh.

I wonder if Muzzin and Rielly's injuries will allow us to sign them for cheaper

I see JFJ/UG's brother is back posting again

- BestRapperAlive

I would be worried if it takes Rielly 2 years to heal.

Nylander for Georgiev


So good.

Sometimes I think the media reads this board and does articles on what I say.
- RogerRoeper

So that's why the media is so stupid.

I'm sorry I was told that Tkachuk was better than Svechnikov?
- BINGO!

it's tough. you think back to the game in vancouver where he made 3 or 4 saves (something completely ridiculous) on full on breakaways.

some games he's not going to do it.

- Steven_Seagull

If he had repeated last year's production and voted 4th in Norris again, he'd be looking for a 7x10 contract this offseason. Now that's off the table...we'll see what happens

lol Nylander for a backup

"Look, my guy is middle of the pack in a stat I made up, he must be good!"
- BestRapperAlive

Actually I got it from the Athletic... point is he'd be a really good backup in Leaf land...

Way better than what is there now...

He was amazing
I was there....row 1 👍

He said it was the loudest he ever heard his name cheered in a visitor arena 🤘

That sounds entirely reasonable... Get Murray and Dubas on the horn ...

Well, yeah, by default. Hutch is the worst.

an excellent idea

90% of you bumholes was gonna give him away last season anyway

*you don't deserve him*

He was just voted as the best comeback player midway through the season.
