Avs trade Annunen and 2025 6th for Scott Wedgewood (NSH)

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

He's been trying to rebuild the farm for the last 2 years:

2023: He had 2 first round picks and used them both (Ritchie and Gulyayev)
2024: He had 1 first round picks used it (traded down and get 2 lesser players out of it)

In the past 2 years that's 3 first round picks used by CMac that won't help this team.
 
We had to add a pick for an older player with a higher salary, because Annunen sucks that much. He's not a good goalie. He's just big.

Wedgewood, while not a world-beater, is what he is. He's about the most backup-y backup goalie out there and knows his role.

Now trade f***ing Fourgiev for Blackwood and be done with this debacle

Juice wasn't good so I get it, we got a more reliable backup out of it. The part of this that bothers me is that means Georgiev is still the starter unless wedgewood beats him out. If we were going for a goalie it's gotta be someone who can push Georgiev to become the starter again or lose the spot. I don't think wedgewood is that guy
 
The team must have just completely lost confidence in Annunen. This isn't a trade to fix the current goalie situation, it's a change up in hopes they can get someone in there they feel better about.

There may not be a fix to the goalie situation this season in the cards, and the potential of wasting another year of this core group sucks.

They need to go all in on signing Matt Davis, and if Nabakov can come over next year, maybe the goalie pool will look a little better.

Complete nothing type of trade, would have rather have given Kahkonen more then one start to see what he could do. These bandaid trades aren’t gonna get the team far or in the playoffs if it continues. We still have the worst tandem in the league. Rip the bandaid off and pay what it’s gonna cost to get a competent goalie.

I don’t think this is the answer, but they’re looking for .900 level goaltending.

They’re hemorrhaging points in net. I get trying to dumpster dive before looking for a real solution. Too early for teams to sell.
