He had a .775 % in the preseason and a .878 % at the time. Good to see him rebound but he sucked for us.

Wedge is what he is, he's not a true starter. he is a good backup who's playing pretty rough right now sure but he will bounce back.
COL should either pay up and get a true legit elite goalie or upgrade their D.

I don't get where people get the notion that Colorado is somehow horrible defensively. They are not as good as they were a few years ago, but still in the better part of the league.
Yes, apparently the deal was made with the idea that Blackwood could be a long term solution. Thus they wanted to act now to get a good look at him and then maybe try to pitch him an extension before he gets too expensive.

Korpisalo has had nice bounce back year after being jettisoned like Georgiev off a poorly defending team.
1.6 GSaX this year vs. -16.1 GsaX last year.
If Grier can revive Georgiev outside of MacKinnon's bitchfest, he's done some tidy work here for the Sharks.

Blackwood isnt a true starter either.
I never said they were bad, but if your having issues with goaltending, tidy up your D. it will help weak goalies

Yeah sure, but there's a f***ing limit to that. By pretty much every advanced metric, Georgiev was having one of the worst starts to the year to any goaltender in like 15 years. We're talking like he had allowed 6 low danger goals by 10 games, when the league average for goalies in an entire season is like 4. Annunen wasn't that much better, he had a few good games but few disasterous ones as well. Scott Wedgewood has played pretty damn well behind the Avs, and it's not because the Avs somehow became a better team defensively. Obviously teams sometimes play different in front of different goalies, but that all starts from the goalie. If the team knows they can't trust their defensive structure because a goalie can't make an easy f***ing routine save and thus overcompensate for it, that can lead to a vicious cycle. But it starts from the goalie. Make the saves you are supposed to make.
So far, Scott Wedgewood has done what Georgiev and Annunen couldn't. And we'll see what Blackwood is made of.

No one looks NHL caliber in Nashville this season. The claim he is not NHL caliber was misattribution by someone who hasn’t been paying attention.

Hey! We suck!
Saros has a .908 sv%, 2.72 GAA, and 2 SO's. Pretty sure that is NHL Caliber.
Annunen in his 2 starts is .951 sv%, and 1.5 GAA. Small sample size but also hard to argue with atm.
