Speculation: What (if anything) does Colorado do about their goaltending?

What problem does this solve? Kuemper is 13-5 on the season and the Avs are tied for the Western Conference lead in point%.
Also, why would the Avs add a 2nd to trade a guy they just acquired for a 1st + Timmins before letting him play more than 19 games?

Draft em but don't play em
I had to double check this because it sounded overly flattering and that's out of 17 total goalies lmao, so he's below average in even that selective sample size.
I really don't see Sakic give a lot of assets this year for a goalie. He give his 1st + Timmins for Kuemper so all Price trade is impossible to do right now.
As Price Career he will go to see his doctor in NY and i will not be surprise if he don't coming back this season.
As per Kuemper, Price have difficulties to stay healthy.

Toews is a top-pairing defenseman and one of the best complete two-way defenseman in the NHL. That’s not even mentioning that he’s signed to a sweetheart deal for another two seasons after this one and is only 27.
I honestly don’t think there’s any trade of Toews to the Caps that would make any sense for the Avs.

Mantha does nothing for the Avs and Vanecek isn't exactly what the Avs are looking for.
Do you really think Devon Toews is one of the best complete two-way defensemen in the NHL?
He's good, but that good? (The conract is very sweet but beside this point.)

Yeah I wouldn’t take Varly for free at this point. He’s a decent goalie who disappears in the postseason and has major injury concerns.
Going backwards is not how the Avs can expect to succeed in the future.

Varly is terrible in the playoffs, but would consider him in a backup role. Kuemper is always injured and need the insurance.
It is so unfortunate the Avs do not have their second, which incidentally went to the Isles. We just need to change the goalie and the pick. Miska and a 3rd and you’ll thank me later. By the way, retention on Varlamov needs to be around 1.5 mil per year

I've been pounding on this table for a little while now in the Avs board. But I would want Varly to run tandem with Kuemper.
And Varly having the extra year on his contract buys Sakic some time if Kuemper walks this offseason. Eventually they'll need to find 'their' goaltender of the future to fit in the Avs core, but I have no idea where Sakic is going to pull that out of. The Avs have f*** all for in-house goalie prospects coming up.

Send us Toews back for Varlamov. We need someone to replace that Leddy void.
An Avalanche goaltender has not recorded a save in two weeks. That’s very concerning.

But our awesome defense hasn't allowed a single shot on goal. So we're good.
So the D-zone stats pan out too? Toews is one of the best two-way defensemen?
Why not, I like him a lot, just didn't know he was already rated that high.

Nope. And mine wasn’t either. Islanders would need to add obviously.
toews has 20 points in 16 games (1.25 PPG) and leads all NHL defenders in expected goals for and Corsi. Devon Toews is a Norris candidate. He’s a puck moving, PK killing, point producing, top pair D in his prime making just $4.1mm for the next three seasons.
he’s available for trade like Makar and Rantanen are available.

Toews would have solved a lot of issues this season since Leddy is gone. Im glad to see him doing well. He was a trooper on the bottom pairing while here, yet had some rough playoff appearances. At the time, it was a fair deal and he’s proven well beyond his contract.
Sakic saw a player that was under utilized and hit a home run off Lou. That was one of Sakic’s most inspired GM moves. Right there with drafting Makar, Byram and Rantanen.
