Confirmed with Link: Avs sign Georgiev to 3-year x $3.4M AAV deal

[SaltySkywalker]

He's looked really good so far. Yeah, its a small sample size, but he looks so much more positionally sound than Grubauer or Kuemper. He doesn't need to be the best goalie in the league on this team, just stop most of the shots and steal an occasional game for us when we have a bad night.

Hopefully when he has a bad game, HFAvs can remind themselves that all goalies have bad games including top tier goalies like Vasi, Roy, Hasek, Brodeur, Dryden, etc...

Who am I kidding? The whole board will melt down.

We said this about the past goalies as well...yes, we need him to do those things. But more importantly, we need him to not turn into a complete sieve like Kuemps was in the post season!

 

[SaltySkywalker]

It's almost always a huge mistake to go max term with a goalie. And I promise you the cap hit would not have been as palatable as it currently is if Sakic pushed for more years. Right now he's at great value (there are backups making more than he is) up until his age 29-30 year. This also gives them time to develop a goalie in-house.

HAHAHA

I know, I know...

The issues weren't with TPS, they were with Voskrensenk that lead him to going to TPS to begin with. The Russian national team stuff is from the 2019 Worlds. These are not exactly secrets and there is some legitimacy on both sides. I'm not judging him as a bad teammate, just saying he has a reputation that has followed him.

He's in calm waters now, Cup contender who believes in him. If he starts screwing up and Frankie gets a lot more starts and then we hear things, then yeah he's got a thing.

Shesterkin might have plummeted on that chart after tonight

Analysts: Wow, what an amazing value the Avalanche got only giving up two 2nds for Toews

Sakic: Hold my beer

Great start but it's been just 13 games. The playoffs are all that matters.

He's so far looking like a big factor in making the playoffs.

WTF happened to Elvis on this chart?

WTF happened to Elvis on this chart?

He's had a baddddd year so far. I don't know what's the cause because who willingly watches Columbus but he did go down with a hip injury so maybe it was bothering him and he was just waiting for Korpisalo to come back.

 

[Chiarelli]

Elvis was so highly touted around here. Truth is he’s never been more than a 1A/1B low level starter for his duration in the nhl

According to that chart he's ECHL level. He barely made it

Apparently he wasn't great last year too, Columbus fans are pretty fed up with Elvis.

I drank the koolaid and drafted him, expecting him to be a top 10 goalie this year. lul.

He gets a pass for last season

Absolutely winning us games and points in the standings. Steal of the year. I rank him as our best goalie in many years - and our goalies before him (Kuemper, Grubauer & Varlamov) are all honestly top shelf.

Honestly, a change of scenery is probably best.

I had high hopes for him. Boy was I wrong on that one. Lol

Well tbf last year he probably should've taken some time away from the game. Idk what's going on this year I think it could be injury related.

 

[Pokecheque]

I’m guessing it’s injuries though I swear every time I watch Merzlikins he lets in at least one iffy goal from distance.

 

[JWK]

Another Jussi Parkkila masterclass

It's still SSS though.

The best thing about the Varlamov trade was that he brought aboard his favorite goalie coach.

Good point.
