Description

I've seen about 5 or 6 AGMs today alone from Leafers wanting Georgiev. Fine, but here's a question: which goalie are you protecting in the expansion draft?

My understanding is that both Andersen and Georgiev can be taken in the expansion and that teams can only protect one goalie. So if that is indeed the case, who would you protect? Because it's a very real possibility that one or the other would be taken by Seattle.

If I'm wrong on any of that PLEASE correct me. But if I do understand the situation correctly, why would the Leafs give up assets for a goalie that they either couldn't retain, or risk losing their current starter who has been playing at an elite level?

The Rangers also don't want or need your scraps for him, because Shesterkin isn't eligible to be taken in the draft. So Georgiev can be protected.

But Lundqvist needs to be protected. Expansion Draft happens before July 1st so he is still under contract...

I think technically, Andersen will be a pending UFA so he won't be eligible for the draft. While its probably a tad underhanded, they could have a handshake deal of a contract that he could sign immediately after the expansion draft and then they can just not protect him.

Pending FA's are not eligible to be picked I think.

For Vegas they were. Seattle just needs to have a certain number of 2021-2022 contracts. Lundqvist also has an NMC...

Something tells me even if he was eligible, the Rangers would be more than happy for Seattle to take him and his 8.5 mil AAV off their hands

Hmm, good point. I could see that working out and that would be a very shrewd move
