I would be okay with dealing Andersen while picking up Georgiev from the Rangers. I don't think they will be swapping teams because the rangers wouldn't want a goalie as part of the return for Georgiev.
If the Rangers were smart they would just Buy out Lundqvist and role with a tandem for a while and then sell high on one of the goalies when the need another deal. Georgiev wont get near 4.5M, he should get a 2 year deal around 2.5-3.
i wouldn't mind running with a Campbell Georgiev duo next year.
I think you are underestimating how much Demelo will get. He is just about the only UFA i would be interested in signing but his age and the fact that he is right handed will almost guarantee a bigger contract than a 1 year 1.25M dollar deal. He has been making almost no money from NHL standards for a while and should take what ever deal offers him the most money and term.
Tanev will get more term than that and money as well.
