Confirmed with Link: Avs sign Georgiev to 3-year x $3.4M AAV deal
- Thread starter Bill Peckerskull
- Start date
People acting like the sky is gonna fall if this kid doesn’t pan out - but most of us were cool with Frankie starting over Kuemper in the finals. I think we are gonna manage just fine with this tandem. Competition always brings out the best in players.
True. And he didn't exactly have a great play driving D in front of him when he was in net. As with all new goalies in this system it probably will not look great the first 10-20 starts because he and his D will need to adjust to each other. I can't wait for the whining of bust and we will never win in the playoffs with this guy in here.
There just were no great or even good options for Sakic.
This was from the "okay" basket which seemed to be the highest tier of the options in his disposal.
I am not liking it or hating it now.
Lets wait a few months into the season to see how it goes.
If it turns out well, we will have a reasonable starter who seems to be able to play well in the playoffs.
If it turns out badly we Mrazek him to another team with a minor cost.

I figured 10M$ over 3 years so that is in line. I trust Joe and the pro scouts. I'm curious to see what our complete lineup will look like and how much Kuemper gets. I prefer to judge the whole body of work than individual deals.

I read somewhere Georgiev was 8-1 down the stretch for the rangers and he did look good in the two relief games he came in against Pittsburgh when Shesty was getting lit up in the playoffs. To be fair if Pittsburgh had their starter and Crosby didn’t get a cheap shot from Trouba, the Rangers probably don’t make it out of the first round with the pens with “ the best goalie in the league “ in their net. Shesty played a lot of great games this year but he played a few stinkers as well.
I really think it’s going to be a very reliable 1-2 tandem for you guys!

Hooray! We're right back to having a bunch of posters mis-trusting the GM of the Year, who only weeks ago was holding the Stanley Cup up over his head on the ice in Tamps.

Might end up having to stay away for the first 10-20 games why the sky falls cause they are all adjusting to each other but everyone acts like the seasons is over.

This place really does attract maschoism
I swear people were happier during the dark years debating about how awful everything is than now.
Exactly. Paying these prices for goaltender seems outrageous, even though Price did get Montreal once to Stanley cup final.. but even he had meh seasons. Tough to justify prices.

This. Until we don't repeat, everyone should probably just stfu and trust the man that got us here
But, I also understand society and that this is a forum board for discussing.

I'm actually relieved that Sakic acquired Georgiev. Looking at Murray to the TML makes me smile.

I'm curious to see what deals Campbell/Keumper sign now. For Toronto to make that deal they have to know Campbell is going to get something ridiculous right?
4.7 mill for Murray for this year and the next. I'd get it if there was some more retention but that seems like Dubas feels like the goalie market is going to be a shit show and just went and got his guy. Almost like Sakic knew as well and went after George because he knew Keumper was about to sign a big time deal.

Can't wait for season to start so we can hear about Avs not having the goaltending to go far in the playoffs and they need Fleury

So glad the Avs won't have to deal with that goalie shit show. Was really pretty meh about all of the goalie options. Georgiev was the most palatable option with potential upside that fits the Avs modus operandi.
Sakics trade starting to look better and better... Also I think we will really appreciate this trade after few top free agent goaltenders sign contracts. It's going to be gross.

Yeah honestly don't think there's any good options. Luckily were in a league where there's only a handful of difference makers at the position so it's not the end of the world to have average goaltending. I think if you can't get a legitimate starter going cheap should be the main thing. The fact that George is still young and has some upside/was in a disgruntled situation that potentially affected his performance is a bonus
Would you rather Matt Murray at 4.7 for 2 years? Campbell/Kuemper at presumably long term contracts like 5.5+ for 5-6 years? If I'm an Oiler fan for example I'd much rather roll the dice on a Samsonov than breaking the bank for Darcy. Guess you still have Gibson as the biggest wildcard but man if he doesn't bounce back like some think that'll be expensive with his contract/assets you give to get him.
This tread proves that this Boards's posters for the most part, just can't bear the thought of having nice things. A couple of weeks after the SC win and we're right back to the usual cast pushing a gloomy prospectus. LOL!

This.
I'm fully expecting someone to give Campbell 6+ and Kuemper close to, if not 7m (due to being a "Cup Winning goalie". And don't get me started on the Matt Murray trade lol
Meanwhile, Sakic/C-Mac lock up a 26 year old goalie with upside still for 3 years at 3.4m.
Georgiev and Frankie are gonna make less combined than what Campbell and Kuemper will get paid on their own.
And then you add Red Wings signing Husso for 4,7mil and Toronto Murray trade..
How is this not a good trade? Win or lose.. I am happy.
Goaltender market is very challenging right now.

Sakic said in yesterday's press conference that they've been having talks about Georgiev for a couple of years, so the current goalie market probably didn't affect their decision that much, beyond Kuemper pricing himself out obviously.
