Outside of being a fan and wanting what most fans want to happen here, trading Georgie is the only thing that makes sense.
Both Georgie and Igor are starter-caliber (pending NHL time, which I hope Igor gets soon). If you keep Georgie, you just push the problem back a few years. Trading Hank - if you can even get him to waive his NMC and find a deal that makes sense - doesn't help much, and makes us look like fools (aka, The Devils and Broder)
If you trade Igor, then, you risk losing one of Georgie or Hank in the upcoming expansion draft, and put a stranglehold on the cap next year, since Georgie will want to get paid as he deserves.
The logical move is to trade Georgie.
