Didn't you want to draft Schaefer?God we're getting Georgiev, aren't we.
This gives us a better chance at finishing bottom 3 lol. AND we got a 2nd

Can Avalanche fans chime in on this? Was it actually getting so bad that it created locker room issues? Or was it just the personality and nothing to do with his play? Probably a perfect storm of both I'd imagine. You can survive being terrible on a team if you have a good personality.
Warrior is going to make a killing from him breaking his sticks.Well Georgiev in San Jose is going to be fun lol
I mean no one came out and openly said it but it was pretty clear no one liked the guy. He wasn't well liked in the Rangers locker room either.Can Avalanche fans chime in on this?

And you continue to be unable to acknowledge he suffered an eye injury that caused him to miss a couple of weeks.Yes, playoffs>Regular Season.
Oh look, you again conviently ignore Grubauer and Georgiev who also at times looked great on the Avs.
Kuemper literally hasn't been a backup since 17/18. You're just making stuff up now.Yea, they realized they were fine with dime a dozen 1B's and backups, which Kuemper also was so why pay him like a starter. Washington f***ed around and found out on that one
I'm not interested in purposely tanking anymore. Getting the 60th pick isn't worth wasting another year of my life.Didn't you want to draft Schaefer?

Correct me I'm wrong Devil fans, but Blackwood came out hot on very weak Devil teams and was viewed to be the potential franchise goalie. Even drawing comparisons to the rival Rangers goalie (Shesterkin). Then seemingly injuries hit and he started to lose the net in the final year with you guys.
I can see a lot of untapped potential here. Like a Adin Hill type bump up in productivity.
They never mentioned it was Georgie directly, but insinuated that Wedgie was a breath of fresh air because of his positivity and team first attitude. That was after moving Annunen, who we know wasn't a personality issue himself. So you can only draw one conclusion.
Injury or not, Keumper still played like shit and the Avs still won the cup.And you continue to be unable to acknowledge he suffered an eye injury that caused him to miss a couple of weeks.
Wow, other goaltenders have had good seasons for the Avs. Crazy. When did the league allow for more than one good goaltender at a time? That's cheating.

Nah, please feel free to rub it in their faces. Not saying that Blackwood is going to be a stud in Colorado, but he’s definitely an upgrade. Plus Georgie being gone makes it a win/win.Lotta dumb takes in this thread. Can’t wait for Avs fans to realize that Blackwood is a legit starter in this league and just sweep these comments under the rug.
Exactly. We need insurance placeholders. Now we have 2 in net. Asky can stick it with the Cuda for the season with a few call ups. We just need one more bottom draft.Didn't you want to draft Schaefer?

He played poorly in the playoffs and wonderfully in the regular season. The poor performance in the playoffs also coincided with a legitimate eye injury.Injury or not, Keumper still played like shit and the Avs still won the cup.
And your ability to determine what the team is responsible for and what the goaltender is responsible for is what exactly?Yea, it's almost like the Avs have mid goalies look better than they really are. Which has been my point this whole time.
When he's on, Blackwood is great. Like the move for the Avs.
Not so much.At least the two of us are convinced of Blackwell in Colorado.
Are you same convinced of Wedgewood in Colorado as I am?
Grubauer was so terrible for his time in Colorado that Seattle gave him.. basically the same contract Washington gave Keumper. How do you explain that one?He played poorly in the playoffs and wonderfully in the regular season. The poor performance in the playoffs also coincided with a legitimate eye injury.
And your ability to determine what the team is responsible for and what the goaltender is responsible for is what exactly?
Because Grubauer had seasons with the Avs that ranked 38th and 20th in GSAx and Georgiev is currently dead last in the league. Kinda blows the whole "any goalie playing behind the Avs will put up good numbers" narrative straight out of the water.
You should really look this stuff up before making such declarative statements or going with your gut.
