Overview

  • The one-year contract carries an $825,000 cap hit with no reported bonuses or trade protection, a $2.575 million drop from his previous $3.4 million AAV.
  • Georgiev will compete in training camp for an NHL role behind starter Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen alongside Alex Lyon and Devon Levi.
  • The 29-year-old went 15–26–4 with a .875 save percentage in 49 games last season after a midseason trade from Colorado to San Jose that sent Mackenzie Blackwood to the Avalanche.
  • Buffalo retains roughly $5.2 million in cap space following summer roster moves, framing this as a low-risk depth addition.
  • Across 303 NHL games he holds a 2.99 GAA and .903 save percentage, and he led goaltenders in wins in 2022–23 and 2023–24 with Colorado.
