I think he can be a legit backup, as seen in Dallas, but at no point should he be considered to be the starter.
He's not the one that needs to replace Georgiev. He's the Annunen replacement.
I agree with this.
Never say never.
He can compete for that #1 spot all year.
Just don't have him do it with George. Get the other upgrade asap. Then we good to roll with a tandem.
Never.
Not that I don't think he can be a good goalie to be counted on
at times - and even when the starter is injured for 2-3 weeks but I don't think he's a starter. I see him kinda like Francouz.
The problem with him 'competing' for that #1 spot is that if it goes sideways and he fails miserably then you may not even have a solid back-up anymore.
I think george's latest 'performance' is going to force the Avs to get this done quicker than they would have liked and probably pay more than they would have liked but they really have to get it done.
I think Wedge gets the next start but this is done before the weekend.
