Alexandar Georgiev Dealt to Colorado Avalanche
The 2022 free agency really had some good goaltending options and the Colorado Avalanche grabbed one. In a trade today, the Av’s acquired Alexandar Georgiev from the New York Rangers. In return, the Rangers were compensated well with a 2022 third round pick along with a 2022 fifth rounder. They also will get a 2023 third round selection in the deal. So, this of course means that Darcy Kuemper will be off to free agency. The Av’s just didn’t have enough cap space to keep him.
This deal could mean that the Avalanche may try to re-sign Nazem Kadri with some additional cap space freed up. Georgiev had a cap hit of $2.425 million and was a restricted free agent. He may get a new contract, but team was paying Kuemper $4.5 million.

OFFICIAL: #NYR have acquired a third-round and fifth-round selection in the 2022 NHL Draft, as well as a third-round pick in the 2023 NHL Draft, from Colorado in exchange for goaltender Alexandar Georgiev.
— New York Rangers (@NYRangers) July 7, 2022
Georgiev had a 15-10-2 record with a .898 SV% and a 2.92 GAA. He won’t be Kuemper, but he will fill the net and is only 26 years old. Whether this helps in the Colorado club’s quest for back-to-back Stanley Cups is yet to be determined. While he is younger than Kuemper, he doesn’t have a lot of experience. This could mean that the starting role will be bestowed upon Pavel Francouz. He performed very well with a 15-5-1 record, recording a .916 SV%, and a 2.55 GAA. This puts the Av’s in a position to have two good goalies again, but Georgiev has yet to hit his peak.

This deal shows that the Colorado Avalanche are trying to sign their free agents, and give a worthy extension to their star forward Nathan MacKinnon. They will still be the team to beat next season.
