NHL Rumors: Colorado Avalanche Need To Improve Their Goaltending
Frankie Corrado: Does the Tampa Bay Lightning placing up eight objectives in opposition to Colorado on Monday, like, does that type of expedite the method of possibly in search of a goaltender in the event you’re Colorado?
Dave Pagnotta: “They are saying, No. Is it posturing? I acquired to imagine it, as a result of it wasn’t simply the backup that acquired lit up. It was (Alexandar) Georgiev got here in and he acquired lit up too, after which they switched him again. So it was additionally a collective failure. I imply, yeah, it’s simply total, we’re not, it simply wasn’t their night time.
However I imply, it’s actually, 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 proportion in direction of the underside in objectives in opposition to per recreation. You take a look at the numbers, it simply doesn’t counsel 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 imagine 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 type of saying, effectively, they received the Stanley Cup, and Darcy Kuemper was their goalie. He’s not a prime 10 within the league, prime 15 within the league. That staff was rather a lot deeper than the group they’ve acquired proper now.

So you may offset sure parts of your staff, if different areas are that a lot, that significantly better, that rather more potent. It’s just a little bit completely different of a staff proper now than it was after they received 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 plain suspect guys, I do know, I’m not the one one mentioning this others must. Most likely 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 is perhaps an apparent match.
We’ll see if that positive factors any traction later within the season.
