Former New York Rangers goaltender on the move once again after being dealt in major trade
Former New York Rangers goaltender Alexander Georgiev has just been traded to one of the worst teams in the NHL.
Along with Rangers former rivals goaltender, MacKenzie Blackwood who at one point in time was thought to be a part of the New Jersey Devils future, has been traded.
Back on June 27th, 2023 the Devils had enough of a Blackwood, a goalie who wasn't able to steal the net from prospects Akira Schmid and Nico Daws.
Yet, Blackwood's downfall in New Jersey led to his trade and resurgence in San Jose.
However, former Rangers goaltender Alexandar Georgiev was unable to fulfill the role as a starter with the Colorado Avalanche was sent to the San Jose Sharks.

While the Avalanche will get goalie Mackenzie Blackwood, depth forward Givani Smith, and and 2027 fifth-round pick.
