Avs trade Annunen and 2025 6th for Scott Wedgewood (NSH)
- Thread starter Bill Peckerskull
- Start date

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.
In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server

This was the f***ing trade they made? This!? Take on more salary, lose a pick and this was the goalie they got? They'll do absolutely anything, but address the f***ing elephant in the room.
We gave a pick to Preds, not the other way around.
Unless you meant we added a pick to the trade

This is awful. Why the hell we did this?????
Doesn't fix anything.
Exactly. Totally unnecessary move.
Exactly. Why we didn't move Annunen earlier and then keep Kahkonen? Seems like a way better way. Now we didn't upgrade anything and added salary. Total nonsense.
It's true, that there's probably nothing better in the market, but this seems like an awful move to make.

Problem is, they need 900 and up goaltending from the guy that starts the majority of games. Getting 900 goaltending from the guy that might start 1 out of 3 or 1 out of 4 starts won’t stop them from hemorrhaging points.
Until the guy who gets the lions share of starts doesn’t start putting up consistent, quality starts, the problem isn’t even addressed.
This isn’t even a bandaid type move. This is like you have an open wound, and you put a bandaid on a wound that’s in another spot.
You add cap and lose a pick. Just seems totally unnecessary, unless they move Georgiev too.

This is all about quieting the noise by scapegoating Annunen when the bigger problem is Georgiev since he’s the starter. But the good thing about it is, if Georgiev doesn’t get it together (and with it being year two of this, there’s no reason to believe it will) it’s going to be difficult to blame someone else the next time. And if Georgiev doesn’t improve, the noise will be even more intense at some point making this a temporary solution in terms of quieting the noise.
Quite frankly, this feels like Compher-Johansen-Mittelstadt all but at G.
Wait until they’re fighting to make the playoffs because Georgiev-Wedgewood isn’t the answer mgt was hoping for.

We could’ve traded Annunen for a 6th and kept Kahkonen.
Just lol

Does anyone have any insight to why Bednar hated Annunen so much? I don't get it

And FYI, just a reminder for those of you who like to believe when “insiders” talk about the Avs, this was Johnson a couple of days ago:
Johnson: “Going against all logic, everything I’m hearing is the opposite. They are not desperate for a move and believe Georgiev is turning a corner. They might wait until the trade deadline to get a more capable backup, but there’s nothing imminent from the Avs side on a goaltending move.”

It’s (hopefully) the first of two trades to full on change the goaltending duo [1/2], so we have a more seasoned backup behind starter from trade no. 2.

It is definitely like shitting your pants and changing your shirt. Oh, by the way, the shirt is full of holes, pit stained and has been pulled from a gym bag full of stanky clothes that have sat for a year, creating a lovely bouquet of crapulence, BO and swamp ass residue.

Is Wedgewood good with the puck? If so that could be huge for our butter soft defense in the absence of Manson.

Added almost double the salary on a guy with a .878sv% who also happens to have an extra year after this with that money. To top it off we gave them a draft pick.
This is legendary type stuff from that nerd GM. I seriously can’t stand him.

Honestly prefer the Nemeth and Eller trades to this. Embarrassing. Trotz took him to the shed on this one

He was too busy trying to pump Georgie’s ego, if Annunen did well then it was clear the problem was George
