where does he start the year next year?
He still gives up some bad goals. That said, if you remember my game notes on Talbot in Hartford, I constantly wrote that he gave up WTF goals. They were inexplicable. He'd stop a ton of shots: slap shots from a few feet away, breakaways, 2 on nones, you name it, and then it looked like he never played hockey before because he'd give up something most 8 year olds who don't play hockey can stop. After a while, the WTF goals were reduced, then disappeared and he became an NHL starter. It took a couple years, however.
Geo is not as extreme as Talbot: doesn't make as many great saves and doesn't give up beach ball goals, but he does give up bad goals on occasion after being spectacular the whole game. He's also very young, goalies take the longest to develop. At the same age, Talbot was a solid, but unheralded goalie in a BS program nobody pays attention to. I can't tell you how quickly Geo adjusts and fixes the bad goal problem, could be next year, could be never. But if he has a strong finish to this season, followed by a strong preseason, no reason why he can't be a great backup at some point later this calendar year.
