When Do We Call Up Shesterkin?

Fans seem pretty hyped for this. I imagine he?ll get a good response at the Garden. Hell, there were IG-OR chants during a preseason game.

That's my thought as well. He's been bad the last couple times out. But really, just take the 3rd and move on. It was never going to be much.

 

Im begging to see that Georgie is just an average NHL backup.

Rangers got a 2nd/3rd/7th for Cam Talbot. I would think that Georgiev has a much better upside than Talbot did when he was traded to the Oilers. Gotta get a 2nd at a minimum IMO.

 

If there’s no demand for a backup, might as well waive him

They aren't going to carry 3 goalies, so it's either a cup of coffee "show me" thing, or Geo is on the move.

I still think the best trade we could have made would have been during last offseason to a team that lost their goalie like Columbus, maybe throw in a contract like Smith with a little salary retention. Oh well.

They gotta move Georgie, Pete...he's not gonna be the future here. I know you know that already though ;)

God dammit Rangers, you couldn't have waited a week? I literally bought tickets to the Wolfpack vs Scranton Penguins game in PA just to watch Shesty play lol

Now he has to shower with Lundqvist and see the real king. Welcome to the big leagues.

I wonder how he will measure up

Are you shesterkin off just thinking about it?

They waited half a season and Shesty has played unbelievable well. It’s good to be patient with young players and not rush them through the minors, but if the kid is playing as well as he has, it’s hard not to give him a shot.

CBJ might still be viable with Korpisalo injured long-term.

Quinn saying he will start tomorrow night.

Good deal.

Tough that he has to make his debut vs a very good Colorado team.

But they aren’t bringing him up to let him sit on the bench.

Shesty starts tomorrow per Brooks

:rofl:

 

Love it!!!

They can carry three goalies for the rest of the season at this point. There's no other choice and this doesn't mean a trade is imminent. It had just become clear that Shesty gives the NHL team the best chance to win and the other two have no place else to go right now. Georgie will likely move at the deadline when the value will be highest due to teams bidding against each other and becoming desperate.

This presumes a goalie market will open at the deadline, which recent history suggests is unlikely. The last major goalie to be dealt during one was Miller, who struggled mightily post-trade.

If we get a good deal for Georgie, I hope we're all over it like spots on a dalmatian!

Would you categorize Georgiev as a major goalie?

That’s an honest question, not facetious or baiting.

 

Miller was dealt to St. Louis to start. Presumably, Georgiev would be dealt to be a backup somewhere.

 

Don’t know that it’s quite the same set of circumstances.

Col will be a real test right off he bat. They were flying against the Devils from end to end. They move the puck incredibly well.

Damn, welcome to the NHL Igor, here is the highest scoring team in the NHL..... :rofl:

Any team right now is a test for a Rangers goalie. There's normally about 10 Grade "A" chances per game, on my count. I'm not so concerned with win/loss for Shesterkin. (albeit, I'd love to see him win!), I'm looking at his positioning, and reflexes as to where the puck is on the ice....

 

Last time I watched him, he remeinded me a little of Hasek....I know...bite my tongue, but his style kinda reminded me of the Dominator! (I can only hope he's that good!) :thumbs:

Yeah by deadline times, teams vying for a playoff spot usually have their goalie situation in order otherwise they probably aren’t in the hunt playoff wise. Teams locked in usually trade for insurance which doesn’t bring a large return. Now is when his value is highest, while teams on the outside looking in might give up a bit more if they think they still have a chance to turn around a season.
