The New York Rangers have traded restricted free agent goaltender Alexandar Georgiev to the Colorado Avalanche in exchange for the 97th pick of the 2022 NHL Draft, the 161st pick of the 2022 NHL Draft, and a 3rd round pick in the 2023 NHL Draft.
Georgiev was an undrafted free agent who spent five years with the Rangers, and compiled a record of 58-11-11 with a .908 save percentage, and a 2.94 goals against average. He joins an Avalanche team who just won the Stanley Cup, and enters a situation where he could become their starter, or join a tandem in which he plays considerably more than he did in New York.
