That is still an overpay IMO. I do understand your position here because the Leafs are not in a position of strength in this particular transaction. I don't think that the Rangers get TWO 2nds for Georgiev from ANY team in the NHL. That is just overvaluing your own assets IMO.
I mean that's nice. Though allow me to retort with data (not opinions). The 2 major metrics for evaluating goaltenders properly are dFSV% and GSAx. Over the last 3 seasons, among all goaltenders Georgiev ranks in the top 15 in both.
That's a good foundation because it gives us something to measure against with a nice large sample size. Over the last 10 years there have been 3 goalies to put up those numbers (well 4 if we count Martin Jones but he was traded after 2 NHL seasons) and have been traded. They are:
Philip Grubauer: Traded at age 26 with Brooks Orpik (equivalent of a 1st or 2nd rounder depending on your valuation - reference: Marleau cost a 1st and the cap hit difference was less than a mil) for a 2nd.
Cory Schneider: Traded at age 27 for 12th Overall Pick.
Frederick Anderson: Traded at age 26 for a 1st and 2nd Round pick.
Martin Jones: Traded at age 25 for a 1st round pick and Sean Kuraly.
Now Georgiev is younger (23) meaning his rights with the team are held for longer. That would inherently make him
more valuable. The lowest any comparable players were dealt for is ~2 2nd rounders (and even that might be a low estimate). Really Georgiev's value is around a 1st heh.
Again, just using the stats here and the comparables, these aren't opinions.
