I'll take either. Just get Georgiev the hell away from this team.Friedman is curious about 2 goalies for the Avs.
Blackwood first.
Then Gibson.

He went back home to Russia.What’s the deal with Provorov, has he regressed a ton from what he once was?

New level of super commuting.Ivan Provorov commutes to Columbus from Russia?
I think in his early years he was quite good but he definitely fell off a cliff."What he once was" wasn't all that great to begin with.
Columbus is very progressive with their WFH initiatives.New level of super commuting.
This is always the first thing I think of when Provorov's name comes up.I think in his early years he was quite good but he definitely fell off a cliff.
Reminds me a lot of Dion Phaneuf and how he took the league by storm but once the book was out on the guy, he became a mostly minute-munching liability.
All these russian names look the same to meIvan Provorov commutes to Columbus from Russia?
I'd personally prefer Connor Ingram, but I have a feeling he's the one of the two Utah will be keeping.I don't know what Toronto is asking for him but if they were to go and get Timothy Liljegren, that'd be the guy for whom I think I'd be okay with saying "Okay, now they can trade Girard." And yes I know he's injury prone and a right-hand shot.
On another note...is Karel Vejmelka still a viable NHL goalie or has his game completely fallen apart?
Oh they ain't moving on from Ingram, no way no how. They probably don't want to move Vejmelka either but if they were going to flip a goalie, that's the guy they'd be willing to talk about.I'd personally prefer Connor Ingram, but I have a feeling he's the one of the two Utah will be keeping.
One day I hope you'll take a minute of your time to explain to us (what appears to be) your irrational hate for Blackwood.Yep, I'm no fan of Blackwood at all but beggars can't be choosers.
He working from home. Remote working is the new thing since Covid...Ivan Provorov commutes to Columbus from Russia?
Fat Frank on TSN 1050 this morning:
- Avs aren’t a good hockey team right now, goes without saying given missing 5 key players. Not surprised by the poor start.
- Doesn’t expect the ship to necessarily be turned around when players come back. Says Avs won’t be able to outscore their goaltending problems and Georgiev has been bad for a year straight now so he doesn’t see this as just a small sample size.
- Not the type of team to make a desperate move and will stick to their plans, doesn’t expect big movement from them in terms of trades or coaching changes.
- Expects Rantanen to get done during the season and for it to be 8 years. Says he will come in under MacKinnon but isn’t even convinced Avs would give him just under at $12.5m. Says lots of players around the league watching this negotiation, he thinks Rantanen could go down as the most underrated superstar of this generation. Rantanen wants to stay and Avs know they can’t let him go. Won’t even entertain a trade.
I would be open to making a move for Blackwood and Vejmelka, then picking up another stay at home defender and see where thing shake out.
I know I’m in the minority, but I think Kylington will be end up working out for us. I saw a lot of flashes last game that to me suggest once he gets comfortable and familiar with other defenders he’ll be a net positive. I bet by January he’ll be a deserving mainstay on our back end.
It’s hard to tell what is going on with him but he’s definitely not in the right place a lot of the time - I can’t remember seeing a guy look so befuddled. Doesn’t help that he’s been with Makar who thinks and acts with super human quickness. He also has some baby giraffe in his balance, weird for a guy who’s not tall. I can’t believe this is what this guy really is but we can’t afford stuff like that right nowI would be open to making a move for Blackwood and Vejmelka, then picking up another stay at home defender and see where thing shake out.

Oh I wouldn't say I hated the guy per se, I just didn't understand why NJ took so f***ing long to move on from him. He's just not that good, and insanely injury-prone on top of that.One day I hope you'll take a minute of your time to explain to us (what appears to be) your irrational hate for Blackwood.
