The Norris rivals for Makar come and go every year. Cale stays at the top.
I don't think they'll be fine at all. They're both legit NHLers, but neither is the franchise cornerstone they needed when they were selected at the top/near top of their respective draft classes. They're *good*, not great. I don't have hope that either will reach their lofty potential.
And really, Avs haven't been great at 5v5 offensively, they do a ton of their damage on the power play this year (which is obviously not a good thing) so I don't think that's a great comparable.
No thanks on Murray. Doesn't matter how good he is, a goalie won't help when he's spending the vast majority of every season on LTIR.

Better place to ask this:
Honest question, but have we heard the Preds were willing to trade a promising goalie prospect in division, and what the asking price was?
Friedman said the Avs inquired.
Maybe they just weren't willing to run the risk of him becoming the best goalie of the 3, and shoving it in their face 4 times a year, or impacting their playoff chances/playoff runs, after going with UFA Wedgewood as backup instead him?
If Askarov becomes the superstar he projected to become in his draft year I swear...
I'll forever remember that he was right there, available for cheap, on ELC, and we didn't pay what it takes to get him.
Edit: Button in his final rankings in 2020 had him at 6:

It’s legit insanity to me how CBJ have fumblef***ed this whole Jiricek situation. He’s going to be so good.
Nah. Cmac killed the first one with JTC as his number 2 C. f***ing moron.
Only if you ignore that this is being compared to other teams under the same parameters so if you take away our empty netters, you also have to take away theirs haha.
That's true. When f***ing Lars Eller was forced to take faceoffs with MacK and Rants because that clown Compher could even get a point playing 23 minutes a night, you know we were f***ed.

I’d like to know a single human being that wouldn’t be completely broken playing behind this shit year after year.
The worst in the league in all of these categories against.
Save John Gibson.

I've felt this way since Varly left lol.
I did not think he'd sign there last time. There is most likely a woman at fault somewhere in there.

We are only 25% through the season. Those stats aren't comparable because ours is a way smaller sample size, where extremes are much easier to reach. Over a long time the numbers will average out.
Gibson doesn't care that's where he wants to be, he stated that during rumors before

He reportedly asked out before and the Ducks refused to accept a trade. Rumour was Carolina was hard after him a couple years ago.

Folks, I think it’s time…we need to pay to get the goalie that’ll take us to the top. It’s time to see what it would take to get Carey Price!

I'm cool with Gibson...I'm not cool with the cost some have floated. I still maintain any team taking Gibson, even retained is doing the Ducks a solid. Nobody wants a 6.4M backup and it's Dostal's team now.

This seems like a hindsight is 20-20 situation, I took a very brief look at goalie ranking for 2018 and 2019 and there’s quite a few lists that had Annunen ranked high, and there are some 2019 lists with Miner in the top-10 for goalies.

Blackwood equally as good tonight.
He would fit in perfect. Give the team consistency from their current tandem
