Frankie is gone and the Avs now have the worst goaltending in the league. Or at least the worst depth.
The Avs didn't need to grab another goalie for the Eagles. Jones was already signed there and the Eagles might be signing Gahagen soon too. Along with Miner that will be there until the Dub starts up. This is about having another NHL contracted goalie.Not sure why people think this reflects on Frankie. They need another goaltender in the AHL and one on the taxi squad.
So Annunen isn't coming over to play with the Eagles this year?The Avs didn't need to grab another goalie for the Eagles.

Thanks. I didn't know he was signed to play there. I thought he was coming to NA to play in the AHL all along.He has a Euro Assignment clause, so he could just want to stay in Finland for the rest of the year and 'refuse' unless the Avs called him to the NHL. But it just doesn't make sense to bring him over from Finland until their season ends. The AHL is going to have a weird shortened season and who knows when it will really start up. Having Annunen come over then quarantine, just to end up playing less games doesn't make sense for him. His season will probably end in late April, bring him over then if the Avs need him, but not prior.
12 games, .881 saves percentage.Thanks. I didn't know he was signed to play there. I thought he was coming to NA to play in the AHL all along.
This team should've snagged Copley or Dell when they were available.
They didn’t have the cap space to carry a third goalie on the 23 man roster. And if you say put him on the taxi squad my head will explode.This team should've snagged Copley or Dell when they were available.

Could've had Nedeljkovic from Carolina off waivers a few days ago too.This team should've snagged Copley or Dell when they were available.
Non smart ass answer... they actually could have. It would have taken a subsequent move like waiving Cole, but they could haveThey didn’t have the cap space to carry a third goalie on the 23 man roster. And if you say put him on the taxi squad my head will explode.
They couldn’t have though. It would have taken an extra day for Cole to clear through waivers. The only way they could have done it was to send Makar to the taxi squad for a day and make him lose out on a full day of NHL salary which would have been one of the worst cap managing ideas of all time lol. Either that or LTIR Frankie/Burakovsky but it seems like they’re more so day to day.Non smart ass answer... they actually could have.

You can waive on the same day and be in compliance, so they could have waived Cole the same day right after claiming and it would have been fine. I’m not speaking to Dell in general, but that the Avs could have claimed a goalie. The larger mistake was not getting a guy this off-season. The Frank deal in general from last season is looking more and more questionable tooThey couldn’t have though. It would have taken an extra day for Cole to clear through waivers.

Plus we’re forgetting the main reason they couldn’t have claimed Dell.... New Jersey did lol. They’re above us in the priority line.
