That's tough.
I think Georgiev is likely a solid future NHL starter, but you have 4 guys who are more proven, none of whom are bad. I'd examine the return for Varlamov, as he's a tandem guy, but you might get more for him.
My keeper league only allows a team to have 4 starters. No limit of amount of goalies to keep in the minors, but after 63 starts. They can no longer in the minors (and must be moved at the end of the season in which they play their 64th game)
I currently have Grubauer, Varlamov, Saros and Kuemper in my starting 4
My minors consist of Blackwood and Georgiev who will both very likely be non eligible for the minors next season, along with Merzlikins, Petersen (LA), Scott (Tor), Gillies (Cgy)
What does everyone think about selling off Georgiev? I’m competitive right now, so I’m not overly interested in moving Kuemper, Varly or Grubauer over Georgiev. I’m concerned he somehow bests Shesterkin, or goes somewhere to start in a year or so (expansion or trade) but he’s young and fairly proven.
But if he doesn’t, I’m forcing out Kuemper, Varly or Grubauer (and I’m an Avs fan, so likely not Grubauer moving anywhere)
Help!

And do you move Georgiev over Blackwood? Blackwood seems like a lock in NJ for quite some time.
Put Georgiev, Blackwood and Saros on the block and see what kind of offers you get. Don't focus on which one goalie you should trade. Focus of the BEST trade you can make involving one (or two) of your goalies.
I would look to move Georgiev.
My philosophy on goalies has changed over the past few years. I trade them away for elite talent because their perceived value is far greater than their actual contribution. Goalies are crazy volatile.
As for Blackwood, I think NJ will sign a FA goalie in the offseason. Blackwood is not safe IMO.

I'd have no issues trading either Georgiev AND/OR Blackwood. As mentioned, put them both on the block and see what you get for offers.

"Cleavage is like the sun. You can look, but dont stare.. Unless you're wearing sunglasses."
Looking ahead, my starting 4 in approx 3 years would be:
Saros
Grubauer
Petersen (maybe)
Merzlikins
That leaves me in a good spot, no?
If the returns for Georgiev and Blackwood are similar I'd have no hesitation about moving Blackwood over Georgiev and, in fact, would need a fair bit more to move Georgiev who I think has the brighter future.
