It's hard to believe that this guy played in the 2024 NHL All-Star Game, but it seems like Alexandar Georgiev's time in the NHL is done after his struggles in recent seasons.

Former NHL goalies landing in the KHL usually only happens with those born in Russia, but we've seen a handful of Canadian and American goalies who have opted to jump to the KHL rather than playing in the AHL. After being acquired by the Winnipeg Jets from the Florida Panthers last season, Chris Driedger spent most of his time with the Manitoba Moose after spending most of the previous two seasons with Coachella Valley and Charlotte. Rather than possibly being signed to another two-way deal, D...
