Confirmed Trade: [NSH/COL] Scott Wedgewood for Justus Annunen and 2025 6th round pick

[JoeSakic13]

Gotta love how everyone is pointing at Wedgewood’s numbers this season as if the entire Preds lineup (outside of Saros stealing some games and Josi doing Josi things) hasn’t been awful.

Not to say this is going to be a huge upgrade for the Avs by any means, but I feel more comfortable with Wedgewood playing with our lineup than with Annunen.

Loved Barry as a coach, but he just seems so all over the place as a GM.

This is a good move, Wedgewood is not NHL caliber.

 

[John Mandalorian]

Avs starting to look like Kyle Dubas is running the show.

As of this moment, Marner is making more than Rantanen.

I’m glad to hear that, but it doesn’t explain his offseason moves and waiving of Fabbro.

That franchise just seems stuck in second gear.

 

[Lainestache]

another in the long list of mediocre goaltenders for the avs.

i still like the move though i think wedgewood could give the avs steady .900 goaltending which is actually an improvement.

annunen has a pretty good chance at turning into a steady backup.

Considering Nashvilles track record with Finnish goalies i wouldn't be at all surprised to see Annunen pick up the mantle from Saros just as Saros did from Rinne. There's something with Nashville and Finnish goaltenders.

Yeah that was pretty unforgivable, it's clear to anyone that Fabbro is a top 4 defenseman.

 

[SirKillalot]

Wasn't Annunen scheduled to be the next franchise goalie for the Avs?

Anyone except Andrew Brunette, you mean.

only if georgiev is his only competition.

annunen has decent potential but probably ends up as a backup.

This isn’t Europe where it’s about an “arbeit plan”. Things change. It’s just a pity that AG was the driver of change. Teams frequently have prospects who don’t subscribe to the arbeit plan.

I personally, do not have a lot of faith that this will be the "answer" to the Avs goaltending issues.

No, but a bit early to quit on a guy who had 8-4-1 and .928 last season for the team.

 

[The Tourist]

Known as W3dgwood in Dallas.

One of the nicest guys in the league but yeah. He's on his third team since the end of last season for a reason.

 

[illegitimate]

No, but a bit early to quit on a guy who had 8-4-1 and .928 last season for the team.

mostly sheltered games, the realest of those were against tampa bay (four goals against), devils (four goals against), winnipeg (relief, three goals against) and the oilers resting their top lines for the postseason
