The Avs internally and publicly believe in Georgiev and Annunen yet several reporters have confirmed the Avs tried to land Askarov last summer.

Yeah, colour me skeptical. Perhaps they are willing to let Georgiev figure it out until TDL but I am very certain the Avs trade for a goaltender this season.

Askarov was never going to replace Georgiev this season. That's not why they wanted him.

Doesn't matter. Avs were obviously questioning their goaltending in the summer. All their goalies have done since is post the worst numbers since the early 90s Senators. And we're to believe the Avs are now confident in their guys?

Lol. Ok.

Confident, hell no. Hand cuffed is more likely. I can't imagine any trade bringing in a goalie doesn't also involve Georgiev going the other way or in a separate but immediate deal for cap implications. And our cap situation is about as clear as muddy water right now.

As much as I hate to say it, if Georgiev can avoid being the reason we lose, we should be riding him and saying he's a our number 1, while actively watching other teams and as the season progresses try to find one who maybe has a better candidate than what is currently out there.

Along those options, would there be any interest in trying to get Quick out of NYR if they continue to struggle? He's running a .971 HDSV, and a 7.51 GSAA this season and that is only a six game sample size for him and at his age, durability is a major concern. But if those numbers continue to hold, he's on an expiring 1.275M contract.

Confident? Of course not.

Not willing to pay what it would cost for someone that may or may not work like Blackwood or Gibson? Now that's likely.

They'll replace Annunen at the deadline for a low end vet that won't play in the playoffs. Like that time they traded for Dubnyk.

They cannot wait until the TDL. Playoffs is not a guarantee this year

They won't be able to afford to wait and I don't think it's just because of the standings. The team needs to believe that management can recognize the problems and get them solved.
Yeah, we saw how bad they looked and how upset they sounded in 2023 when Lars Eller was the only acquisition.

This team needs a shot in the arm.
