Brooks Devils Interested in Jack Campbell and Alexandar Georgiev

There is a fair amount of chatter from multiple industry sources that the Devils will be in on impending Toronto free agent goaltender Jack Campbell if he hits the open market on July 13.

 

We’re told by one informant that New Jersey may attempt to jump the process by dealing for the 30-year-old’s rights if the Maple Leafs cannot or will not extend the netminder, who started more than 26 games (47) in a season for the first time in his career.

 

The idea would be to move Mackenzie Blackwood, whose career has somehow careened off course during a couple of drama-filled seasons this fragile team does not need. It also does not need an older veteran coming off injuries to serve as the backup; e.g., Corey Crawford; Jonathan Bernier.

 

We’re hearing as well that the Devils could have interest in Alex Georgiev if he becomes unrestricted this summer, but likely as part of a tandem operation rather than as a No. 1.

 

It is unlikely that the Blueshirts would send No. 40’s rights to New Jersey without an overpay, though if Michael McLeod becomes part of the conversation, I’d be all in.

Lol. No chance they're trading that dude to the Rangers for an RFA scrub goalie.

If georgiev gets traded at this point then I’ll never say a bad word about drury. 
 

his rights are expiring meaning any team who wants him can give me a better deal-cap wise- than they would have to give him if they traded for him and then qualified him.

RFA - so he has a set trade value if you want to call it that.

 

Drury getting anything 3rd or better is a big win.

I mean, there's almost no chance we qualify him because if he accepts his QO, it severely hinders us. He's going UFA for sure, so I see little actual trade value.

No way we wualify him

Georgiev is not going to find a team that will have him penciled in as a No. 1 or even a team that views him as having a 50-50 chance of winning that position.  His best option would be a team that views him as a No. 2 Plus, ie a situation where a No. 2 is expected to get 30 starts.  That could well end up to be the Devils.

Nothing will be better for the Metro than a Campbell/Georgiev tandem. Campbell is alright, but he's got a pretty small sample size as a true starter. Plus, he can't stay healthy. Georgiev oscillates between unbeatable to pure garbage.
