Is Yamamoto really a bottom.6 player?

My feeling is he is top 6 or not playing in Edmonton.......

Making a 3rd line of Crouse-McCloed-Foegele..... which could be kind of nasty to play against

Georgiev should burn Edmonton for a first. 2nd probably, but not a 1st. Young enough, but his numbers since Sheshterkin's arrival have been meh.

Ottawa says "Thank you, Come again".

Rangers take that and run

Would you like to take a look a georgievs numbers the past month with some actual consistent playing time, then come back and edit your post

I agree not a 1st but for different reasons. When has a G ever fetched a 1st? They just don’t get valued the same as other players. Georgiev last 7 games has been under 2GAA, Over .931 sv%. He’s been one of the better G in the league in that span. Now he was way under performing at the beginning, not sure why, maybe out of shape🤷🏻‍♂️ Only way we get a 1st is in a biding war or because it might take that to pull him away from us before the TDL. But my bet is on the 2nd also

The kid is 25, young G are often streaky and have lots of bad games. I’d be more inclined to watch the trend then to say “but he was just okay in his first 2 seasons” if he keep his numbers in the .930+ sv% and 2.0 GAA or better for the next month you may be looking at him a bit differently. It’s likely a 2nd unless there’s a bidding war or we just don’t want to part with him before TDL. Stats like that are nice to have in a backup going into playoffs so they might not bother moving him at all. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I think I inferred his lack of playing time is an issue, but I don't think he is worth a 1st. 2nd absolutely. 1st no.

Nailed it.

Georgiev could be a starter, but has at no point played the games in a season to suggest he is a guy that can handle 55 games (where a 1st is a place one would go).

As it sits, split time guy and a good one at that.
