At 26 years old, Georgiev is an ideal fit for the Leafs as a backup or a 1B. He has a larger body of work than other UFA goalies like
Ville Husso and would not command as much on a longer term deal as
Jack Campbell will. The question is, are the Leafs better served trading for Georgiev's rights, or should they chance waiting to see if the Rangers leave the disgruntled young goalie without a qualifying offer, which would set him up to become an unrestricted free agent in less than 2 weeks time?
