Value of: Your goaler to the Avs

[SmoggyTwinkles]

You want Dan Vladar? He is tall. Sometimes he's really good too.

Do you mean "the" Darth Vlader?

Always wanted this guy.

But he sucks? I'm terrible at predicting prospects, and I feel like he's aged beyond prospect.

I'd say the best option the Avs have is getting Phillip Grubauer back.

Problem is his term and it's a coin flip between him and 4Giev

Goalies are so hot and cold but I'd easily take him over George. Grubauer has gotten hot in the playoffs before.

You would take that risk for 3 years?

you can certainly accept poor net minders for a bottom price if that is yr choice
I said that atm, Shesty is possibly available, but he is not available for cheap, b'c Rs can still go 12.25 ish x 4 and get it done if they have to, and there are gonna be 4-ish or so bidders w/high end offers.

So any bidder needs to recognize Shesty is elite, Vezina quality, entering prime, and offer accordingly.
In case of Avs, I don't expect there is any currency acceptable other than MacKinnon.

If you don't want to go there, fine, no prob.
But it is elite for elite and it is not an insulting premise

It's insulting Bern. Cut it out.

I've said it in other places but I think Gustavsson would be a good target.

He's off to a hot start though and he's on a division rival, AND it leaves the Wild with only 1 goalie next year, but he's probably the guy that checks the most boxes (track record/cap hit) that could be available. Maybe they take Georgiev back just to keep that insurance if you could pass him through waivers.

Not sure what the Wild would be after though.

After that, Fleury and Gibson would be my choices, but there's not too much in the way of clear upgrades right now. I just want a guy who has a bit of a track record and handles pressure well.

It's tough when a team has a clear need like this, since the pressure on anyone they acquire will be huge, so if it isn't a bargain-bin purchase, it needs to be someone ready to deal with the pressure.

 

[Freaky Styley]

Avs will just run with a tandem of Kahkonen and Husso like we all knew would happen after a mere 2 games

The scary part is that doesn't sound so bad right now

Primeau and Habs 3rd for Georgiev and AVS first?
