Wonder if this means Provy is gonzo after this year? Would be nice to sign him as well, but to a 2-way deal, and keep him around just in case
Why not just give Provy a 1-way deal as well? Doesn't make a difference if it's 1-way or 2-way in the grand scheme of things, outside of him making a 300-500 k more in the AHL.I'd imagine Prov waits a long time this summer looking for a 1-way deal.
Very much doubt Prosvetov will want to be in a situation like that. Also, there are probably better options for a #3 available.Why not just give Provy a 1-way deal as well?

We have nothing in the pipelines, and either contract can be buried.
The Prosvetov situation won't take that long to solve. He has arbitration rights that he will file for. Given his AHL ability and his time this year in the NHL... he's looking at a 813/500 split minimum with the potential for 875 1 way. No matter the ruling the Avs couldn't walk away as it won't reach the threshold. So, I'd imagine the Avs will try to sign him to a 1 way deal at 775-800k to eliminate the arbitration, or they simply don't qualify him.
love the gambleTrade Georgiev
Re-sign Rantanen 8x12.5
Re-sign Walker 5x5
Roll with Annunen and Prosvetov and Miner as the #3
Ivan Prosvetov
8 wins, 3 losses, 1 tie, 2.12 GAA, .930 SV %
Trent Miner
9 wins, 6 losses, 1 tie, 2.10 GAA, .930 SV %
You don't think Prosvetov would want to be in a situation where the competition for the NHL backup position is a 24 yr old goalie with 10 NHL games of experience under his belt?Very much doubt Prosvetov will want to be in a situation like that.

I'm guessing he will come May as well. Also, $2,500 overpay.Has actually played better than 4giev in his short sample size. The Bulk definitely helps.
Awesome signing. He's come along in leaps and bounds. I love that we have been, and are developing a goalie ! A goalie that's persevered through adversity. This is called rewarding hard work and success.
How sweet is it that we got the 2nd best goalie on the planet signed for such a cheap deal!?!?!
We now have the 1st and 2nd best goalies in the world for around $4m combined!!!

He has already been improving.Now that the Avalanche have a backup they trust maybe Geo will improve since he won't be as overworked.
Buriable hit if he can't step up full time. Almost no risk (outside of 500k a year for Kroenke).
I like it
We are on a thin budget. We need to take gambles here and there. This one makes sense.Buriable cap hit, but the one way deal likely means they're committing to him as the Avs backup at least next year.
Which means he HAS to play at an NHL backup level, because if he doesn't, they'll have to overplay George again like they did when they lost Franky.
Interesting gamble signing him now, instead of waiting to evaluate him with more games and playoffs, and then signing him in the off season.
Maybe save an extra $100k or so if he would have played well in the playoffs, but hard to see much more than that with his lack of games.
Goes to show how little cap space they'll have next year.
