But that's exactly what you want behind a team like the Avs that doesn't allow a ton of quality shots. You just want a steady, solid goalie capable of making routine saves and not screw up. That's a perfect match.
Yes and no... yes in that the consistency is really good to have and it leads to a higher floor. If Kuemper starts 50 games, the Avs will be 1st or 2nd in the central for sure (likely 1st). I have nearly zero doubt about that. No in the idea that you need a goalie who can make the big saves when you really need it in the playoffs. In the last playoffs, all situations of goalies that played more than 7 games... Vasi was 1st, MAF was 2nd, Price was 3rd, Helle was 4th and Varly was 5th in HDSV%. You need goalies who can make the big saves in the playoffs (Grubi failed there against Vegas).
