Georgiev has 1 problem, games played.
He has played only enough games that say he is backup, therefore he is only a backup right now.
To change this, he has to play more but one could argue that he has already started to lose backup starts to a AHL goalie.
The Schneider and Andersen comparisons dont work, they were starters when traded and from timeline sense those trades happened too long ago to use as comparable for Georgiev.
The Grubauer trade was 2018 and the Bishop trade was in 2017, much more reasonable comparables.
BTW, how does Martin Jones look right now?
Yes Georgiev is younger but that stat cuts both ways, it's why he is a backup right now and NOT a starter.

And to your point about younger goalies....goalies take way more time to develop than D and forwards.
If anyone needs poof of this...here's a few names who were highly touted (some even 1st round picks) that couldn't even figure out how to be backups in this league: Justin Pogge, Jeff Glass, Vesa Toskala, Justin Peters.
These are just the names I thought of...if I do more research I bet I could come up with more names. This is why teams are drafting goalies less and less in the first round. The investment is long one and still ends up being a crap shoot.
Unclear what the points being made are here...
Anyway, to try and bring some facts here. If you're saying the only issue is Games Played well then it's not an issue...
Georgiev had 30 starts last year and is on pace for about 38 starts this year.
The 2 years before Schneider was traded: 28 starts and 30 starts
The 2 years before Andersen was traded: 53 starts and 37 starts (should probably note Andersen was traded for a 1st AND 2nd)
The 2 years before Grubbauer was traded: 19 starts and 28 starts
The 2 years before Jones was traded: 19 starts and 15 starts
So to emphasize your point. Georgiev was getting more starts than 3/4 goalies traded for 1st rounders. He's younger and just as good.
The value is at least a 1st...
