New York Rangers Want To Move This Young Goaltender

The New York Rangers are aiming to trade goaltender Alexandar Georgiev, according to Frank Seravalli. He also stated that Georgiev wants a change of scenery. The Rangers are hoping to receive a first-round pick in return. Yet, when looking at what the Hurricanes got back for Alex Nedeljkovic from the Red Wings, it is highly unlikely they will.

Georgiev just finished his fourth season with the Rangers, and it was a bit of a down one for the 25-year-old. In 19 games this season, the 25-year-old goaltender had an 8-7-2 record and a noticeably lower .905 save percentage. In each of his previous three seasons, he had at least a .910 save percentage.

Georgiev has one year left on his current contract and it carries a $2.425 million cap hit. Once it expires, he will be a restricted free agent, so he will still be under control. That could intrigue teams to make a move for him.

We will have to wait and see if Georgiev finds his way out of New York this off-season.
