Shane Falco Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I wonder when they bring him over? I'm really looking forward to watching him play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Heaven Posted February 11, 2019 Author Share Posted February 11, 2019 I wonder when they bring him over? I'm really looking forward to watching him play. Next season to probably start in HFD to get acclimated to the North American game. His contract is up after this KHL season. Dont want to sign him to a contract this season and have him play meaningless games and burn a year off his ELC. I think he can come over after his season on a tryout that wouldnt burn any of his ELC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For now, it looks like the Rangers don't have to worry much about goaltending. Hopefully it stays that way with this kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gravesy Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 It'll be interesting to see how they play this. Is he going to be interested in coming over here to play in the AHL or to play second fiddle on the Henrik Lundqvist farewell tour? It wouldn't surprise me if he'd rather take another year or two in the KHL. Personally I'd love it if he came over, had a strong camp and split duties with Hank 50/50 next season.

siddious Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 If the plan is for him to play in the NHL then there?s no reason he shouldn?t come over ASAP at this point. I highly doubt he spends more than a handful of games in Hartford if any.

Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Anyone have any idea about how his contract will be? He's proven himself enough in the KHL to get a solid contract and Oilers didnt do us any favours with that Koskinen contract. If Igor got some good agents they could demand more than what he got, or am I way off? Is Igor a RFA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Igor got some good agents they could demand more than what he got, or am I way off? Is Igor a RFA? Wouldnt his first contract be an ELC which would have a limit on how much he could be signed for. 3 years, X $$$? Rangers also have to take into consideration the expansion draft, if he signs after the KHL season and comes over and plays one game then it burns the first year of his ELC, and then I think when the expansion draft comes along he would have to be left unprotected however if he starts next year then he would be exempt from the expansion draft. Rangers going to have issues with Georgiev for the expansion draft if he continues to get better. Probably end up trading him next season especially if they think Shersterkin is ready.

Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Ah, I just thought he wouldn't have to sign an ELC since he's been in the KHL for so long, but Im probably wrong lol. If he has to sign an ELC we're all good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His postseason took a bizarre turn Friday when he was given a game misconduct for tripping Spartak's Kaspars Daugavins, resulting in that player's hard crash into the boards and needing to be stretchered off the ice. SKA is in a 2-1 series hole and KHL.ru reports Shestyorkin is likely to face suspension. The Rangers pick is widely expected to be making the jump to North America after this season.

Dunny Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 I'm sure a lot of people have seen the play, I don't understand the decision, it all seems typical KHL but whatever, I was hoping they'd get put out anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's proven to absolutely deserve those games. I'm thinking more and more that Shestyorkin stays in the KHL for another year or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4EverRangerFrank Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Bringing Shesty here now doesn't make sense overall does it? It will burn a year by having him play meaningless games at MSG -- not to mention Hartford if that's where they site him. I would agree that another season in KHL is a good idea.

I don't get the "Hey this guy is decent so lets not even see what the other guy can do" approach. This is why I don't think it makes sense for Shesty. Why take less money - presumably - to maybe play in Hartford? That quote isn't even in the same ballpark of what I said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long live the King Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Yes, it is. Who cares what happens to Geogriev? Who ever is better gets to backup Hank. All Georgiev deserves is a spot at camp. It makes sense for Shesty because he has confidence in his ability to earn time in the NHL. It makes sense for the Rangers because you don't want a 23 year old to sign another 3 year deal in the KHL. Sign him, get him in the mix. Competition is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sign him, get him in the mix. Competition is good. No, it's not. Because I get competition, but it doesn't really make sense. You're creating a goalie competition for no reason and then forcing your hand by wasting an NHL player in Hartford. Why would he have to sign a 3-year deal? NYR could say "we like you but, there's a good chance you'll be in Hartford. We'll no more next year." And then he takes 1-year, makes a lot more money, and doesn't have to play in the AHL. It's not like he needs to be in North America to develop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puck Head Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Are there many goaltenders that go directly from the KHL to the NHL? I?m just wondering what that transition may be like for him.
