NHL Rumors: Colorado Avalanche Need To Improve Their Goaltending
Frankie Corrado: Does the Tampa Bay Lightning placing up eight targets in opposition to Colorado on Monday, like, does that form of expedite the method of perhaps in search of a goaltender in the event you’re Colorado?
Dave Pagnotta: “They are saying, No. Is it posturing? I obtained to consider it, as a result of it wasn’t simply the backup that obtained lit up. It was (Alexandar) Georgiev got here in and he obtained lit up too, after which they switched him again. So it was additionally a collective failure. I imply, yeah, it’s simply total, we’re not, it simply wasn’t their night time.
However I imply, it’s actually, it’s a query mark. It’s an enormous query mark in that each their guys aren’t even within the high 45 amongst goalies within the league proper now, in, save share in direction of the underside in targets in opposition to per recreation. You have a look at the numbers, it simply doesn’t counsel that it’s strictly, a defensive subject and is main the goalie out to dry.
It’s clear that they only haven’t been as much as snuff. I don’t anticipate something occurring now, however I do consider that they’re going to discover the market on a goaltender in a while this season. This isn’t the identical kind of situation. And everybody’s form of saying, effectively, they gained the Stanley Cup, and Darcy Kuemper was their goalie. He’s not a high 10 within the league, high 15 within the league. That staff was rather a lot deeper than the group they’ve obtained proper now.

So you may offset sure components of your staff, if different areas are that a lot, that a lot better, that rather more potent. It’s just a little bit completely different of a staff proper now than it was after they gained a pair years in the past. So, I do assume that McFarland and firm will have a look at the goaltending and the way they’ll pull one thing off.
And the apparent suspect guys, I do know, I’m not the one one mentioning this others need to. Most likely you guys. John Gibson in Anaheim. If he can play persistently present that he’s absolutely wholesome and able to roll. Anaheim is ready with a pair years left on Gibson’s deal, to eat cash on that contract, and that is perhaps an apparent match.
We’ll see if that positive factors any traction later within the season.
