Albatrosss Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Save PCT up to .972 on the season now. holly shit! Henrik who? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giacomin Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 I think he's a real prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunny Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 I think he has to stay in Russia again next year. He's blocked by Hank, no point starting the RFA Clock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albatrosss Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 that would suck. no reason for lundqvist to be here, blocking youth during a rebuild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gravesy Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 that would suck. no reason for lundqvist to be here, blocking youth during a rebuild I'd have him over next season. If he performs it's a great opportunity for split duties with Hank. The hopefully grab the starting position the following season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giacomin Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Good news guys, once that contract is up, his KHL days are over. There is no way the Rangers let him stay in the KHL after this season and Shesty probably can't wait to get the hell out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunny Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Yeah, let's burn a ELC year so he can play 20 games behind Hank. Makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albatrosss Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Yeah, let's burn a ELC year so he can play 20 games behind Hank. Makes sense. lets not throw him to the wolves. let him transition smoothly. 20-30 games next season is fine. plus henke will shit the bed mid-season and Shesty should play more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long live the King Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Yeah, let's burn a ELC year so he can play 20 games behind Hank. Makes sense. Way better than having him sign another deal in the KHL. He's going to be 23 this offseason, meaning a 2 year ELC. At 24 the following summer his ELC can only be 1 year.

lefty9 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Yep ,he is ready after this season,come on over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giacomin Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 is this your opinion or you read this somewhere? I've followed his situation and contract since we drafted him. Gotten info from everywhere. Been saying on this board for more than 2 years (particularly to RespecttheBlue), that he was going to have to wait till Camp 2019 to see him. All the sudden that's too soon? He'll be 23 and he keeps getting better. He's a brick wall this year. Hope that didn't sound snarky. Maybe the Rangers decide to play him for a bit in Hartford, especially if Georgie has another good year. He won't be denied his NHL debut for long though. We've all been patient and if he continued to develop this was always the obvious next step. Though for Dunny, with some return snark, wtf are you talking about? You knew the plan for Shesty, he's not 19/20 and he's even better than we thought. He's ready, we can take him out of the oven and serve him to Allaire.

Dunny Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I can already see how we're going to get almost zero value from Shestyorkin. He's going to be a 5-6 million dollar goalie the year after Hank retires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josh Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Yeah, let's burn a ELC year so he can play 20 games behind Hank. Makes sense. Depends how this season and this offseason go for the Rangers organization. If they add top-level players this summer, or get something like Hughes in the draft, I think you bring him over, get him that experience, so this team is ready to go when Salary Squad expire. He could go 20/30 gp first season, maybe double the next season, depending on how the goalies play. I mean, its not like he's getting a lot more work over there. He's still splitting games/backup.

He's going to be a 5-6 million dollar goalie the year after Hank retires. He'll have at least 4 (I think 5) seasons of team control. We could also buy a couple of years of UFA,. It's a good problem to have. And Georgie is the youngest goalie in the NHL. We may have the Russian Duo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Georgie is the youngest goalie in the NHL. We may have the Russian Duo. If he's the real deal, they should go the Talbot route with Gregoriev. They just took a goalie in the 3rd round, so they obviously felt good about him. Think probably 5 years of Shesty and then move him before free agency if his demands are outrageous. This team isn't going to get burned over-paying a goalie again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albatrosss Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 It would be interesting to see what the organization does with Lundqvist to make room for Shesterkin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunny Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 I think they hope Georgiev is Talbot or Raanta, obviously, but that's a long shot. I don't like Hank, there's something about him that's like the anti-Richter, I can't love him, but I hope he keeps this level of play up, that would be pretty fun if he puts together a phenomonal year and they stay on the fringe of the playoffs all year.

This team isn't going to get burned over-paying a goalie again. I'd keep them all until one of them emerges as a clear cut longterm #1 goalie by actually doing it for a year. Unlike Talbot/Ranta, Georgie is not due any kind of money for ages. We can do like Nashville now. If he has a strong year as backup, it would take more than a 2nd rounder to entice mgmt. If Hank gets hurt and he performs the way Talbot did for a month straight, he'd become really valuable at his age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the youngest goalie in the NHL and he looked good last year. Why not see if he can repeat that all season? No pressure to do anything with him except find out who he can be. We are not good enough for Hank to carry us, even if he maintains this level of play. We need high-end prospects for Kreider because 1) they are still prospects 2) our problem: we need top line or top pair potential. Especially for a proven fast 27 y/o PF. Plus, trading some of the guys you want to trade, takes us further from the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don?t want a fringe playoff team, that?s next season. Keep building through high and quantity picks this offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
