NHL Rumors: Colorado Avalanche Need To Improve Their Goaltending
Frankie Corrado: Does the Tampa Bay Lightning placing up eight targets towards Colorado on Monday, like, does that sort of expedite the method of perhaps in search of a goaltender when you’re Colorado?
Dave Pagnotta: “They are saying, No. Is it posturing? I obtained to consider it, as a result of it wasn’t simply the backup that obtained lit up. It was (Alexandar) Georgiev got here in and he obtained 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 night time.
However I imply, it’s actually, it’s a query mark. It’s a giant query mark in that each their guys aren’t even within the high 45 amongst goalies within the league proper now, in, save share in direction of the underside in targets towards per recreation. You take a look at the numbers, it simply doesn’t counsel that it’s strictly, a defensive situation and is main the goalie out to dry.
It’s clear that they simply 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 afterward this season. This isn’t the identical kind of state of affairs. And everybody’s sort of saying, nicely, they gained the Stanley Cup, and Darcy Kuemper was their goalie. He’s not a high 10 within the league, high 15 within the league. That workforce was rather a lot deeper than the group they’ve obtained proper now.

So you possibly can offset sure components of your workforce, if different areas are that a lot, that significantly better, that rather more potent. It’s somewhat bit totally different of a workforce proper now than it was after 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’ll pull one thing off.
And the plain suspect guys, I do know, I’m not the one one mentioning this others should. In all probability you guys. John Gibson in Anaheim. If he can play constantly present that he’s absolutely wholesome and able to roll. Anaheim is able with a pair years left on Gibson’s deal, to eat cash on that contract, and that could be an apparent match.
We’ll see if that positive factors any traction later within the season.
