Thread: Do the AVS have the best future
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dan10900</b></div><div>And even if he doesn't become like a top 10 G, the randomness of the goaltending position+the loaded team in front of him really allows like any decent goalie the potential to go on a run in the playoffs, I'd much rather pay the 20-25th best goalie 3 mil than pay a top 10 G 8-10 mil, as long as I'm adding good players at a less volatile position with that 5+ mil</div></div>

Just was general comment about avs goalies, feels like a hit of an echo chamber comment by people who want to chime in but don’t have any idea.

Current avs goalies have been good, just were hurt and in the system for future goalies have some good ones. Goalies are random so to simply say they won’t win with those goalies is a lazy comment.

Like you said, if you have a good team and league average goaltending you can win, currently avs have that

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Josh4</b></div><div>My thought process exactly. I'd perfer two decent goalies over one top 5 goalie.</div></div>

It's an adage as old as time- don't pay for saves.

Look no further than Bobrovsky with Florida versus Korpisalo with Columbus. Or the Canadians spending a ton on price but still needing to bring in another goaltender to shore up the position versus Carolina spending less than half that on their tandem and having similar success in net. Goaltending is too voodoo to spend any more than 6 on a single goaltender and 8 on the position as a whole.

That's all the voters care about
