He is worth a first. Teams will offer a first. And Rangers should expect a first. At least. He is a starting goalie for next five years on most teams.

I completely agree. Kerfoot is useless to us other than helping the leafs with cap situation so it needs to be paid for. Geo doesn’t move for less than a 2nd and 3rd as we have 0 insensitive to move him.
AT most, you're looking at what the Leafs gave up for Bernier a few years back. Georgiev is a young goalie with some starting potential, but he's at best proven he's a NHL backup in the league and nothing more. Andersen and Campbell are miles better so Toronto won't have any interest here. Remember that Toronto gave up a 2nd round pick, a C level prospect, and a backup replacement goalie for Bernier who was in the same situation as Georgiev - so that's your price comparison.
Georgiev:
14 games played
.900sv% at even strength
.886sv% on the penalty kill
.714sv% while team is on the power play
8.8 expected goals against
.833sv% in good scoring chances against situations
.556sv% in high danger scoring chances against
Andersen:
23 games played
.912sv% at even strength
.783sv% on the penalty kill
.882sv% while team is on the power play
816.7 expected goals against
.865sv% in good scoring chances against situations
.763sv% in high danger scoring chances against
Campbell:
5 games played
.966sv% at even strength
.938sv% on the penalty kill
.750sv% while team is on the power play
5.1 expected goals against
1.000sv% in good scoring chances against situations

The only situation that Gerogiev has been better in is on the penalty kill than Andersen. Even the expected goals against may be higher for Andersen, but he's also played 9 games more so by the time Georgiev plays 23 games he's likely to be around a similar number. Other than that, Andersen is still the better goalie and he's been playing injured. & although it's been a small sample size, Campbell has proven to be much much better than Georgiev. So while I understand Rangers fans want the best possible return because Georgiev has "potential to be a starter", he just hasn't shown he's capable at the NHL level yet and a 1st round pick is out of the question.
The package from Toronto (not saying both teams would do it, I think Toronto doesn't have any interest in Georgiev) would be similar to:
Georgiev for Joey Anderson, Michael Hutchinson, Toronto 2nd round pick. (the main return is the prospect and the pick, the goalie is thrown in for positional and contracts reasons)
