NHL Rumors: Colorado Avalanche Need To Improve Their Goaltending
Frankie Corrado: Does the Tampa Bay Lightning placing up eight targets in opposition to Colorado on Monday, like, does that sort of expedite the method of perhaps on the lookout for a goaltender in case you’re Colorado?
Dave Pagnotta: “They are saying, No. Is it posturing? I bought to consider it, as a result of it wasn’t simply the backup that bought lit up. It was (Alexandar) Georgiev got here in and he bought lit up too, after which they switched him again. So it was additionally a collective failure. I imply, yeah, it’s simply general, we’re not, it simply wasn’t their evening.
However I imply, it’s definitely, it’s a query mark. It’s an enormous query mark in that each their guys aren’t even within the prime 45 amongst goalies within the league proper now, in, save share in direction of the underside in targets in opposition to per recreation. You take a look at the numbers, it simply doesn’t recommend that it’s strictly, a defensive subject and is main the goalie out to dry.
It’s clear that they only haven’t been as much as snuff. I don’t anticipate something taking place now, however I do consider that they’re going to discover the market on a goaltender in a while this season. This isn’t the identical kind of situation. And everybody’s sort of saying, effectively, they gained the Stanley Cup, and Darcy Kuemper was their goalie. He’s not a prime 10 within the league, prime 15 within the league. That workforce was quite a bit deeper than the group they’ve bought proper now.

So you may offset sure parts of your workforce, if different areas are that a lot, that a lot better, that rather more potent. It’s a bit of bit totally different of a workforce proper now than it was once they gained a pair years in the past. So, I do assume that McFarland and firm will take a look at the goaltending and the way they will pull one thing off.
And the apparent suspect guys, I do know, I’m not the one one mentioning this others must. In all probability you guys. John Gibson in Anaheim. If he can play constantly present that he’s totally wholesome and able to roll. Anaheim is ready with a pair years left on Gibson’s deal, to eat cash on that contract, and that is perhaps an apparent match.
We’ll see if that positive factors any traction later within the season.
