Confirmed with Link: Avs claim G Kaapo Kähkönen off waiwers from WPG

[RECKLESS]

Let's f***ing go!!

Message to Georgie: there is competition, you are not safe, up your f***ing game and show the f*** up or be gone, this is the NHL.

Hopefully the end of George. I hate his attitude and his net presence too. Worst goalie we have had IMO.

I have a hard time seeing them waive Georgiev after 1 game, when they could have had the whole off-season to find a replacement for him.

I wouldn't mind it though.

For sure, I don't think that's realistic at all. But if they do roll with three goalies while they still have cap space from Landy's LTIR and Nuke's suspension, if Georgiev is the odd goalie out at the end of that period, they can become compliant just by putting him in the AHL (while they look for a trade partner to remove the rest of the cap if needed at the TDL).

Good to hear that, maybe this is the begining of the end of 5giev. At least they are trying to do something, do you guys think he will start against Columbus? That would be another (deserved) message for Georgiev.

 

[JLo217]

I think George is gone soon. I don’t see this motivating him. He’ll get moved for nothing and the Avs will save space for a bigger move further down the line.

Annunen isn’t the answer but it’s obvious they’ll get in a hole with George starting.

Time to start trying to fix a problem they haven’t addressed for a full season and off-season. His time is up. It’s not rash, it’s overdue. It may not work, but Atleast they’re trying

Great now sign for 11.5m you clumsy moose

 

[Grigowski]

So we a rolling with 3 goalies and hope one of them gives us just enough to win games......

I think George is gone soon.

This an ominous way of saying Rantanen will follow through.

I think Justus gets tomorrow's start.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

I think Justus gets tomorrow's start.

Isn't he waiver exempt? If anyone gets sent down, it would be him, IMO.

Are they buds?

He’s not

imo the worst goalie Colorado has had was Brian Elliott. That guy stunk out loud, then had the audacity to have one of the best goaltending seasons in NHL history the next year

The worst part about Elliott was his mask

Imagine the bare-faced cheek to turn up at an NHL game in that

 

[Bender]

Will be interesting to see what they do next. Roll with three goaltenders? Waive Georgie? Have a trade lined up to move him? Trade Justus? Not sure.

All George has to do is miss a meeting and then we can pay him his money and terminate his contract and we get rid of the cap hit.

This is again a very special circumstance.

 

[Richard88]

Looks like the plan is to carry three goalies as the addition of Kahkonen still keeps the roster at the 23 man limit, as shown below.

Capspace isn't an issue at all either due to the large LTIR relief.

 

[CharlesPuck]

Finally a Finnish goalie we can rely on.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Food for thought. Liljegren wants out of Toronto and Woll seems to be injured. Avs have a shaky 3rd pair and three goaltenders...

Leafs have Woll, Stolarz, Hildeby(incredible in preseason), and Murray.

Last thing they want is another goaltender.

I think George is gone soon. I don’t see this motivating him. He’ll get moved for nothing and the Avs will save space for a bigger move further down the line.

Annunen isn’t the answer but it’s obvious they’ll get in a hole with George starting.

Save space?

You’re assuming a team takes Georgiev at full cap hit without giving us a cap dump back.

Bold prediction.

 

[mackinnon29]

At this point I’m just happy there at least looking at another goalie, it’s been long overdue and just a different look/ fresh face could do a world of difference. Someone at .900 or .905 will win a bunch of games for the Avs, .88 and .89 just ain’t gonna cut it anymore

Drouin's injury might change that.

I have defended George quite a bit but it is time to move on. Shoot him to the moon in a barrel for all I care.

Fish - the Avs have zero goalies bro
