Avs have a knack for signing guys going through rough patches in their career that end up being great. This guy will be starting in the near future with the team he’s got in front of him. Heard it here first.

[@weaverfroelicher5959]

its less of a bandied and more a flame under the goal position

[@IowaAvsFan]

He was very good with AHL Iowa. Been awhile though.

[@Ruribitz]

Feel better!

[@the_anxiousphotographer]

Agreed bandaid move

[@qp2044]

I'm starting to think that if georgiev isn't playing better before landy and val come back that they intend to trade him for the cap space. I would imagine annunen and now kap are the plan for the remainder of the season

[@jonathanmcmillen8381]

Trade him to who? Who takes on a sub .900 sv %

[@timkelly6463]

@@jonathanmcmillen8381 anyone willing to give up a 5th, 6th, 7th round pick for an NHL-caliber backup goalie.

[@qp2044]

Someone who trades salary dumps for draft picks. I had thought they would swap him to a team for a backup, but this makes it look like a salary dump is coming if play doesn't pick up

[@kingoftrolls19]

​@jonathanmcmillen8381 there's always someone who will take him. He can def be an upgrade for someone as a backup

[@Legacysong2012]

​@jonathanmcmillen8381 lots of teams would take him if we are dumb enough to trade him

[@jmc8626]

I have wanted Kahkonen for years..i think with the Avs defense he could turn into a great goalie

[@Legacysong2012]

They need to figure out the high danger chances they are allowing before that could happen

[@andrew6815]

I'd personally like to see us take a swing at one of the Buffalo RFA goalies (if Annunen doesn't take the huge step up to be a 1b kinda guy this year which is asking a lot). Edit: Luukkonen is no longer an RFA

[@TropicalGroovySmoothie]

well better then the 2 we have so well take it

[@jhedges8301]

Rudo is beautiful, even with covid

[@biffdanielson2820]

You can't blame all those on Georgiev. Avs gave up some terrible scoring chances.
