Avs problem isn’t just goaltending. They never been known for stellar goaltending but when they won the cup they were crazy stacked they could mask it. They have no reliable depth on their forwards. Nuke is a great player but shouldn’t be the type of player to cause a cup contending team to nose dive when he’s out. Landy has too much a question mark on him and other guys like Druin and Leks are just always injured.
They still have Makar and MacKinnon and could get permanent answers on Nuke and Landy this season so maybe taking a reboot year off isn’t the worst thing for them.
