Good Lord man, chill out. If he’s as high on Georgiev as you seem to think he is, do you really think he would’ve given Annunen the start tonight? You’re reading way too much into an innocuous answer to an innocuous question.


Georgiev was mostly fine against the Ducks.
From a much more sober perspective, you're definitely right

If and when George starts the next time, the team needs to put an enormous effort in to get him a shutout.

Then sell him.

It's an interesting situation. Avs management - for better of worse - is committed to the proposition that with the talent on the roster, they don't need stellar goaltending to win. Just adequate goaltending. Hell, with the salary cap and the talent they have to shell out for, that approach may simply be an economic necessity. So they won't overpay for it. They won in 20222 with Darcy "the Cyclops" Kuemper and his back up, so that's the strategy - love it or hate it.

But if the "It's Raining Nen" combo of Annunen and Kahkonen is simply adequate (or better) for a while, all of a sudden AG's salary creates a nice opportunity to create some cap space - surely there's team out there willing to trade for him.
