Alright Nathan, now take out the 2 years he played in SJ - a terrible, bottom-3 team... and waddaya have?

C'mon man!!

 

[UnkleKraker]

Can we call him Kakkon3n? Too ambitious?

 

[AvsMakar08]

What is going on in here? Are they secretly trying to get rid of Georgiev?

There is zero secret about it... Avs know how much he sucks. They just don't trust Annunen (for good reason) and the trade market is guys of the Kahkonen ilk until the season moves along.

Okay, now just do what Kiprusoff did when he joined Calgary.

Too numerically confusing to Finns.

 

[avalanche_country]

Worked out the last time we got a former Wild goalie

His middle name is Kari but he spells it with a C.

Yeah not sure what to make of that

So we're sending Kovelenko and Ivan down after every game to save cap but pick up a 1 million dollar goalie off waivers to have three goalies on the roster?

I don't get it.

Our goalies are bad, Ararana!

I think the motivation to send down those youngsters is to save actual cash, not only cap motivation.

Besides, whaddayagonna do? Claiming Kähkönen is having another option. We need better goaltending.

Checks Fourgiev last season in New York’s SV%….

Those are about the least inspiring words you can find about an acquisition.

Can you win in the NFL with mediocre quarterbacking?

This ain't pretty lmao

 

[Frenchy]

They got him for free, He doesnt even have to be the next Patrick Roy.
If his save % is anything arround .910 to .920 it's gonna be an upgrade.

Walking on eggshells so the other 2 don't feel threatened
