RWJC Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Read that COL isnt done shopping and is looking at obtaining NYI’s Varlamov (with salary retained). Darcy Kuemper’s contract expires at end of this season. Apparently EDM had kicked tires but Varlamov refused to waive for a trade to them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alflives Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Little Joe knows he can't win with his current goaltending. Smart to make the move to fix that obvious problem. Now he just need to get Makar and Mackinnon to actually play the game without the puck. Can't win if guys are going to be only one way "look at me go mommy" players. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe knows his team needs, its own version of a Patrick Roy cause those teams he Captained didn't win a cup, until Mr Roy arrived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHL'er Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 So a Kuemper replacement while Kuemper is still there? Don't make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Varlamov has another year on his deal at 5 mill (but again, NYI would be retaining) while Kuemper’s expires at end of this season. Insurance for playoffs and going into next year.

amplified0ne Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Would seem more likely Anderson (BUF) or Greiss (DET) would be more likely, no? I know they just re-signed him but a Kuemper injury could you rely on Francouz to take a deep playoff run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, if Burnaby Joe doesn't get Varly and makes his rounds (Anderson, Greiss, hopefully Halak) PA better do all he can to convince him to waive for a contender, even if it's to be the #2 goalie (since he has had some playoff success).

Elias Pettersson Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Colorado loading up the train. Too bad they don't have an elite goalie, it will be their downfall. Sakic knows this all too well. He didn't win any Cups until Patrick Roy arrived. Unless Colorado trades for an elite goalie I would put both Tampa and Florida ahead of them as Stanley Cup favourites. I would also put Calgary ahead of them right now. Markstrom is better than Kuemper... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before extending Pavel Francouz, Colorado checked out the goalie market. Don’t imagine it was a coincidence Semyon Varlamov started against them last week in New York. Francouz’s extension appears to end that. The Avalanche aren’t done on or off the ice. They have inquired about Patrick Kane (don’t think so), Giroux and Copp (we will see), among others. Assistant GM Chris MacFarland not interviewing for openings in Anaheim or Chicago indicates there is an internal plan for him, too. 28. A couple of sources suggested they don’t believe Varlamov will go anywhere. We will see. Not that I’m expecting any info from GM Lou Lamoriello, but I’ve heard Cal Clutterbuck’s name quite a bit, too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's just always had injury problems and had been on a terrible team prior to this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why they'd move a goalie now, unless its a huge overpayment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny because Patrick Roy pushed hard for them to draft the bust Conner Bleackley instead of Thatcher Demko because he believes Demko is only out there having a good time instead of trying to win. Can you imagine if they have Demko on that roster? They prob would've won the cup the last couple of years. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
