Trade Georgiev this off-season, bring back Hank next year on a 1 year deal to backup Igor?
I love Geo, but sign me up.Trade Georgiev this off-season, bring back Hank next year on a 1 year deal to backup Igor?
Which is what we should have done all along.

It's an interesting conspiracy theory.
NYR needed to get Hank's salary off the books this year, and knew he needed a heart operation, so they bought him out and let him sign with a different team to get paid but still sit the year out and recover. Then they begin to re-sign him to 1 year deals every summer to be the backup until he wants to retire.
Crazier things have happened, and it's an unlikely but entirely plausible theory.
Yes, if that was the scheme, it was a pretty terrible scheme that just lost the NYR alot of cap money. There can be a hypothesis that because of signing with a new team there was a more extensive health checkup, but since Hank's heart issue was already well known and he had regular checkups, that is also unlikely. Like Hank said in his interview, his condition just got worse all of a sudden. I think his plan was to fix his heart after his career was over.only problem with that theory is that if the rangers knew he needed heart surgery, the rangers could have put him on LTIR, freed up $8.5 mil in cap space instead of only $3 mil and paid hank his full salary instead of 2/3
I really want him to play again in the NHL. This season!
edit: make a Hank marathon, I want two days worth of interviews. Also, that picture of his chest scar ... damn.
The chances are as small as Lloyd getting the girl in Dumb and Dumber, but imagine Hank coming back from heart surgery and then winning the cup for the Capitals. Coming back to pro hockey after heart surgery is unheard of I guess?
Kevin Weeks may be the worst interviewer ever.
"Mmmm... Right... Yea... exactly... of course. "
Maybe ask a follow-up question that forces him to elaborate? Or shut the f*** up and let him talk?
Hank won’t play this season.
