Seravalli: Seravalli & Marek: "Avs are 100% acquiring a goaltender"

[The Great Weal]

Are you trying to wake up Kent Hughes?

 

[oilers4life5]

Sounds like Campbell is your guy. We will even give you a first as well.

 

[Roshi]

How much is Wash willing to retain on Keumper?

We could easily go Lindgren-Shephard-Stevenson next year which is already a cap saving even if we retain 50%.

I wouldnt mind using a retention spot for that if the return justifies it. But to retain for 3 years and block a retention spot during the period where we are likely shuffling the same route every TDL is tying a lot of possibilities, so its not just propably worth it for any return that makes sense for Kuemper.

So its propably a no.

We could take salary back though.

Man I know avs fans hate him but I would give up a 1st and some goodies to get him at 2mil retained.

OK with us. He plays better with the visual of the Avs unis in front of him, than the visual of the Caps jerseys. Or something. And, OK, maybe having a team that you know is fully and totally capable of outscoring the minimum 1 bad goal you regularly give up per game (vs. the Caps, who can't really score at all) helps keep your play from completely cratering in games.

 

[Some Other Flame]

A late first and an obscure Russian defensive prospect and Markstrom's all yours

 

[Grouch]

Nedeljkovic has been great. Could probably be had for like a 3rd

Or throw in Harkins and get a 1st?

 

[AlainVigneaultsGum]

Inb4 Markstrom lmfao

 

[Pinkfloyd]

Guy with a sub .900 svp is the best answer for a team going for the cup?

Georgiev has a .901 save percentage on a contending team. Kahkonen is doing it on what is either the worst or the second worst team in the league. If the Avs feel Georgiev is good enough to ride as a starter as his games played suggests thus far, they may feel like they only need a backup or 1B sort of option. Kahkonen makes sense in that sort of situation. His numbers will improve with a much better defense in front of him.

Yeah and we actively want Georgiev gone

It's just not a fit. It makes no sense at all.

 

[Aussie91]

lol come on. Husso has 2 years at $5m. You're adding your 2024 1st and retaining 50%, right?

im not saying Husso is the one, but with how Lyon has played it makes one expendable between him and Reimer. i wouldn't say no to retaining on Husso going out in a deal

Cool good for you

Hard pass though. Husso stinks and so does Reimer.

 

[HanSolo]

Bah gawd that's John Gibson's music

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Georgiev + for Gibson

 

[Pinkfloyd]

We doesn't mean the actual team making the moves. And even if you swap Georgiev for a better starter, having a better backup option available is also in their best interest.

 

[AZviaNJ]

Veggie!

Oh no shit?

Seravalli: "Avs are 100% acquiring a goaltender"

Marek: "Avs will for sure bring in a goaltender with a good number of games under their belt. They're not done yet."

--

I'd imagine acquiring a starter would need to see Georgiev going the other way along with whatever add-ons.

What's out there? Who is realistic?

they are not trading Georgiev. This is just to have a backup. Imagine Geo goes down. Even if Pavel was healthy, you'd want better options going into the playoffs.

Okay.

 

[LurkerMcgee]

I’d do it…then waive him and use the pick with another 1st to get Ullmark /s

 

[Alienblood]

Im surprised by the Avs giving up on Georgiev, he was at the All Star game.

he's been awful all season and was t great in last years playoffs. Avs fans soured in him

If Georgiev, who was excellent last year and has been solid this year (carrying the heaviest workload in the league), is available, NJD should be all over it, but I expect the target here is a backup

4giev is hos name now and he hasn't been good

 

[Mobiandi]

Markstrom for mittlestadt

 

[Alienblood]

delete

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

You can buy low on our steaming pile of Mr. Korpisalo. You're welcome.

 

[Schennanigans]

Roy quitting coaching and making a comeback.

 

[PredsV82]

Looks like they can have Raanta for free
