The Rangers would not have suffered in their rebuild having Henrik be the backup (not #3 but the actual backup) for one more season. At that time, the Rags were not competing and Georgiev was not much better anyway and could have played a year in the AHL. 

Would it have served the club slighltly better to have Georgiev up with the big club to get experience? Maybe but that’s the only price the Rangers would have paid to let Henrik go out on respectable terms. Having the backup Georgiev wait one more season would have been worth it in order to treat one of your greatest and loyal players properly and with respect. And besides, having Henrik around could have had benefits around the team in mentoring the younger players coming up. Not so off base at all. It’s all about how you want to treat your players.

Georgiev had just played his third NHL season, starting 30+ games in each of his second and third seasons.  The Rangers were not sending Georgiev to the AHL for a season so that a friggin’ 38-year-old who might not have much left could play ahead of him.  They were not giving Lundqvist starts at Shesterkin’s expense.  Yes, it was probably a tough decision for that franchise, but it was the right one.

The Rangers were also able to get some cap space back, for a guy who was never going to live up to the value of that final season.  It’s not the travesty that want to make it.  It was a move made by a team that, in this particular situation, realized that it was time to move on.

Sorry, but this conversation has hit a dead end. Let's just move on, before the level of discourse devolves, OK?

It’s a civilized debate…neither one of us has personally attacked the other, and you’re not a mod.

That being said, yeah, I’ll agree to disagree with devlman on this particular debate.

Totally braindead.

All he had to do was give the corporate bullsh!t answer I'm sure his PR team had him rehearse a dozen times. Instead, old fart felt compelled to speak his mind.

AKA, his real feelings. Dude couldn’t care less about Kyle Beach or preventing that sh!t from happening again.
