Value of: Your goaler to the Avs

[S E P H]

More bad than good. He's actually quite talented just not technically sound and an immense headcase.

It's not he's technically bad either, he's just got no mental toughness. Most of the goals he lets in is due to overthinking the play or playing mind games with himself due to a lack of confidence.

He is the biggest discrepancy I've ever seen in terms of off ice confidence and on ice confidence. He was sulking in a season that was AWFUL for him in 21-22 because he wasn't starting or at least playing more, meanwhile Igor was having a Vezina season. He thinks he's very good but when he actually plays he doesn't seem to think he's very good. It's as if he gets amnesia when he's on the ice.

Gibson (50% retained) for Georgiev + 2nd + B prospect is the move

Wouldn't be shocked if they end up with Vanacek or Blackwood

I believe Husso is your guy

That's fine. I just like him every time I've seen him, I think he's a growth stock. At some point you're gonna have to probably do something and you can poke holes in about every option there's gonna be. I'm not saying mortgage the farm for him (though the Habs will not likely give him up cheaply).

I don't disagree that they'll need to do something at some point. But giving up what the Habs would want for their career .899 SV% goalie they just signed for 3 years at $3.15 AAV isn't it, no matter how much you like him when you see him. That's just too much cap for too long for too many assets, and literally the opposite of what a "growth stock" should be. It's supposed to be buy low, and get bigger returns, not buy at inflated prices and hope eventually reaches that value down the road.
