Question: can they put all 3 in net at once?

Reality is, different goalies thrive or underperform on different systems. Kähkönen may play better under a system like ours where volume shots are not high, but with high danger chances.
Some goalies thrive under those conditions. Some goalies are better facing volume and getting into a rhythm.

We’ll see how Kähkönen does under a completely different system

I think the structure is why Annunen does better sometimes. He doesn't over react like George.

It’s a decent nab off waivers, tbh. I suspect we’ll see him sooner rather than later.

Throw another goalie into the mix and hope one of the three can bring a decent level of play.

They're no stranger to boosting goalies. If it works here again they get to walk from George, and likely get another cheap tandem for next year.

It's absolutely worth the dice roll, even a little exciting considering how over cooked 4Giev is..

The nice thing about this, if all three stay, is that we won't have to waist a 4th or 5th at the deadline for 3rd goalie. We can waist them instead on Carl Sodalicious and Patrick Behemoth!

4Giev will need his own locker room if he loses the net and is kept around, but competition might just keep this boat above water.

I'm beginning to think Connor McDavid actually played a joke on us. He just thought it would be funny to play along with the thought that Georsieve was an All-Star and deliberately missed throughout that competition.

AFAIK there's no history of Avs fans booing Avs players in Denver
