The Rangers were able to get some assets for Alexandar Georgiev.
They traded the backup goaltender on Thursday to the Stanley Cup champion Colorado Avalanche for a third-rounder and fifth-rounder in the 2022 NHL Draft and a third-rounder in next year’s draft.

The Rangers had until 5 p.m. Monday to trade Georgiev before a $2.65 million qualifying offer was due. He’d become a free agent without receiving the qualifying offer.
The Avalanche, who now appear unlikely to keep Darcy Kuemper, had interest in Georgiev before the NHL trade deadline, The Post’s Larry Brooks reported.
