Veteran NHL goalie Georgiev told by his team that he won't be re-signed

According to a report from San Jose Sharks insider Sheng Peng, the team will not be re-signing veteran goaltender Alexandar Georgiev this offseason.

Georgiev had an absolutely awful season split between the Sharks and the Colorado Avalanche. His three year, $10.2 million ($3.4 million cap hit) expires this offseason and he'll hit the open market as an unrestricted free agent.

To be honest though, I'm not sure how much interest the 29 year old will generate amongst NHL general managers. Sure, he could be a third-string or even a backup option on a weaker team but the reality of it is that he's been a sub-par NHL goaltender for a few years now. I wouldn't be surprised if he moves back to his native Russia to continue his pro career in the KHL.
