Confirmed with Link: Avs trade Annunen and 2025 6th for Scott Wedgewood (NSH)

[RECKLESS]

Watched some Wedgewood clips and interviews on youtube. He comes across as a positively relaxed levelheaded dude. Hope he can bring some fresh good vibes to the locker room full of grumpies.

I don't think Annunen is very good BUT I do think Bednar's leash with him was absurdly short. To the point of it being insane how much he prefers Georgiev.

Annunen had 4 starts above .920, 3 starts between .850-.875, and 2 starts where he was god awful and got pulled.

Georgiev has had 4 starts above .920, 5 starts between .850-.875, and 5 starts where he has been below .85p to downright horrible in the .600s.

One guy got absolutely torn to shreds by his head coach in games following poor play, even after wins like against Ottawa.

The other guy has consistently heard from his coach post game that "Georgie is our guy" and "I like how Georgie battled."

It's a clear double standard that Jared has and I just don't get it. Georgiev isn't some franchise goalie who needs that level of coddling.

It's easy to understand. CMac more than likely told Bednar that Georgiev is their guy this season and Bednar knows that he's going to win or lose with Georgiev. He doesn't give 2 shits about Annunen nor whoever the backup is.

All the eggs are in Georgiev's basket so he better take care of him.
