I will say it every time someone gives a goalie a huge extension for a lot of years and money- do not pay for saves.
There's like four goalies who are actually significantly better than everyone else that deserve a lot of money, and everyone else is about the same. Grubauer is good, but he's playing behind one of the best defensive teams in the league. You can throw anyone back there and they'll be decently good. Devan Dubnyk and Jonas Johansson are probably not NHL caliber goalies anymore and Colorado is getting wins with them. If Colorado can't reach an agreement with Grubauer, they just need to do like they did when they traded for Grubauer in the first place- find someone that's probably decent and roll with them. It's much better for your cap anyway.
Also Colorado is one of the most analytically minded teams in the league and the computer boys love to say how overrated Seth Jones is (and based on his year this year, they were probably right). No way Colorado trades for him.
