He has another year at a $5m cap hit, so he better be a bit more than just insurance. Would he be the starter next year, or a $5m backup that makes it harder to afford a real starter?
Speculation: What (if anything) does Colorado do about their goaltending?

The Avs shouldn’t/wouldn’t take Price, at 50% retention, for free. That’s still a bad contract thay will age poorly for an addict, now in his mid 30s with serious motivational issues that render him a well below average regular season goalie. Also coming off knee surgery.

While I'm not going to argue the valuation here, I can say that your insistence on emphasizing the bolded in every other post is just weird at this point. While it is a consideration, it won't be an obsession if he completes his program.
if there is one thing I can speak to is that there are plenty of "undisclosed" addicts in the NHL doing just fine, and that a recovering addict is often even more motivated to prove their worth to a world that is quick to use that condition against them.

That's a hard no for me. Olausson is our remplacement for Burakovsky they're very similar IMO and is our best forward prospect. Trading Olausson handcuff us forward wise since we would've nothing else in the pipeline. We would've to force in the FA and well Sakic kinda never wins the biddings
Oilers might be interested with how they're playing right now.
Can't blame me for trying!

Wait until you find out about that time four years ago that they traded for Phillip Grubauer!

Man just had one of the greatest post-seasons as a goalie you witnessed in your young life, you think a knee surgery will make him worse?

You laugh now but Colorado hasn't had a competent goalie since 2020-21. They'll take their chances on anyone and everyone, book it.

What do you want for him? Will Byram and Newhook be enough?Matt Murray has two Cups under his belt; he could get another with the Avs...

Ok, bookmarked.
In what f***ing world is Jake Allen worth a 1st? Pure unwavering delusion.

The last 5 games aren’t indicative? You must’ve forgot about grubauer outside of last years covid division.
NYI fan here - I think Varly is ready to reduce to a backup role. Don't get me wrong, he's really turned around a rusty start after his injury. But I don't think he has it in him to start every other day in the playoffs. I think he'd get hurt.
Drug addiction, age, lousy regular season attention and effort. Lousy regular season save %. Lots of major red flags with Price. That’s before you factor in the leagues worst contract.

Price is a playoff god, arguably the greatest in our generation as far as longevity goes. Colorado has the team to get him through the regular season with ease.
And then imagine him playing behind a team like Colorado in the playoffs? Hello Patrick Roy
If he’s available, mentally there, physically there and not relapsed.
here is a far better and more practical idea. Avs continue with Kuemper, whom is now 14-5 and playing good hockey. Makes $3.5mm.

A guy with a career 43-45 record in the playoffs, who has zero Cups and zero Smythes and needs special covid rules to even make the playoffs is a "playoff god"? He has a nice SV%, but hasn't done anything to warrant deification.
