BrooksBurner Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 That's high given how other contracts are going. Jake Allen is a good deal better and he only got slightly more than this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted October 15, 2020 Author Share Posted October 15, 2020 That's high given how other contracts are going. Jake Allen is a good deal better and he only got slightly more than this. I can't remember what thread it was in, but I told you it was going to be $2.5 – 3.5 million per. I wish I could find it, because I had shown similar comparables for signing age and status. Allen is 30 years old. He doesn't compare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 And as we said, Hank buyout saves didly squat against the cap this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costa Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Based on AG's performance the last 2 years, I have no problem with this. Very fair deal. 2.5 AAV might be much but overall no complaints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 2 years seems to be the magic number. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunny Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 OK, I guess. I'd just play Kincaid 25 times at league minimum, or would have avoided alienating a franchise legend for a net zero dollar savings, but sure. Obviously they value Georgiev, I think they're a little optimistic in that regard but it's a good insurance option if Shesterkin misses time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were ultimately right on where he'd land, but just because the Rangers agreed to it doesn't mean it's market value. I find it very odd that they wouldn't go arbitration, and I still don't think he would have gotten this much there. Jake Allen isn't a comparable because he is better and sold UFA years. Georgiev had little leverage. So, very odd decision to go this high by the Rangers IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long live the King Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 And as we said, Hank buyout saves didly squat against the cap this year. Or Hank's buyout saved $3 million against the cap, giving them $1.6 million for Georgiev's raise and another $1.4 million to put towards Strome or ADA if they end up signing.

The Dude Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 That's higher than he deserves. Why'd they buy out Lundqvist again? I'm with Dunny on this. 2.5 for a guy that isn't going to play a lot... Kinkaid makes more sense in that regard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keirik Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I mean it's a bit more than I would have liked. Personally I wish they had dealt him and went with a league minimum backup or Kinkaid so they had more money for others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah. We argued the Lundy buyout + Geo increase vs just keeping Hank and trading Geo was a wash. Others said Geo wouldn't cost that much. Hank hit was $8.5. Hank buyout + Geo new cap hit is $8.

Hank hit was $8.5. Hank buyout + Geo new cap hit is $8. I think at this point it was pretty clear the team just wanted to move on from Hank. Probably some internal things the organization didn't feel like publicly sharing like that, he wanted a bigger role than sexy haircut backupbut who knows. It's done and dusted at this point. Already have my Lundqvist jersey waiting to be ordered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, but Hank wasn't going anywhere without the buyout, and after what the pandemic has done they trade offers for Georgiev can only have gotten worse. Without the buyout they don't have the money to give Georgiev his raise in the first place. Georgiev at 24 is clearly a player they like and want to keep around.

Sod16 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I expected about $2m for him. He'll probably end up getting traded after the expansion draft with one year left on his contract, as Ranta and Talbot were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJWantsTheCup Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I expected 2M. It?s not a huge over pay but when you claim to be tight against the cap every dollar counts.

Keirik Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 To be honest, I kind of was worried arbitration settled in the 3s. Let’s hope this kind of helps take shape to have a couple more stay aboard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
