Did I say they weren’t? But Kuemper wasn’t the reason they won was he?

They overpaid for Kuemper because they made a mistake and got caught short in the goalie market and that price you’re flashing also included retention and it was still an over pay.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ledge_And_Dairy</b></div><div>You're right, running it back with Swiss cheese Georgiev is the answer</div></div>

Has he struggled this year sure. But you’re only as good as your last game as a goalie particularly in the playoffs and “Swiss cheese” Georgiev has outplayed Helley in the series. Even if he struggled there is zero chance COL is trading for a 34 yr old $6M cap hit goalie. Zero.

Thread: Cup Contenders v7

Lawson Crouse looks good on paper and has about 5 good games a year, but always makes me think of the phrase “looks like Tarzan but plays like Jane”. The Super Soakers would have to be dumb not to take that.

Georgiev’s entire future is going to play out in the next couple of weeks, plays like game 1 and he’s a goner, play like game 2 a bunch more and he’s back.

Thread: Capitals make the move for the future and get younger

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Logicalicesports</b></div><div>Well again the Cap issue is the only way I see something like this happening. Its not his value but the fact that the Avs will need to move someone out. His value is absolutely higher than what I am showing but I am also focusing on the fact that someone will be forced out of Denver and I cannot see them trading Manson, Colton or any of the other big name roster players that are locked up</div></div>

You aren’t thinking this through. You have COL trading a top 4 dman in less than 6 months after they traded another, to acquire a goalie they let walk for a 3rd and $1.5 in cap space. Granted you didn’t do the flip side but then you assume they prefer an older worse performing Kuemper and still have to move Georgiev and then have to fill another top 4 d spot, how is that working cap wise? It isn’t. Maybe COL even moves Girard, highly doubtful but let’s roll with it, they aren’t taking back $3.5M in salary cap if they do. That’s why your cap situation explanation makes no sense COL gets significantly more benefit out of trading someone like Girard for pure futures so they have money to spend on something worth while ie Mittlestadt extension and pocket future assets that are usable in trade. Beside as bad as Georgie has been Kuemper isn’t Girard better than him. Really flawed logic.

Thread: Capitals make the move for the future and get younger

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Logicalicesports</b></div><div>Avs will be in a tight cap constraint and they will most likely get rid of their current goaltending situation with how poor it has been in the playoffs. If they lose in the first round they will definitely be looking to make a change in net.</div></div>

Making a change in net might very well happen but thinking Kuemper and a third nets a top 4 dman is a massive joke, you didn’t think that one through at all. They let Kuemper walk a year ago but somehow they are now going to take him back after his play has suffered to the point of being pushed to the back up role and to do so give up a 25yr old top 4 dman. Bro that’s just silly.

34yr old goalies with big cap hits, NMC, and no track record of success in the playoffs gets anything remotely close to these trade packages. Welcome to disappointment street.

You don’t really think that gets Girard do you? Kuemper is the back up goalie. Got to love CF and hey here is a back up goalie and a 3rd give a top 4 dman locked up on a good contract. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JeffW</b></div><div>Really? I though jones has been notabley bad. I'd rather take JJ any day</div></div>

JJ was entirely responsible for the 2nd goal, all he had to do was tie up his stick and he decided to instead play the body and his stick was no where near the passing lane. If JJ is getting muscled he doesn’t bring any value whatsoever because he is easily the worst skating d man. I mean I’m not going to die on the bench JJ hill, but I would just prefer Jones.

Thread: Moving back twice

Why would COL do that? Either Landy is back zero need for Buch, or he isn’t and they just re-sign Drouin keep their pick and decide on something decidedly less expensive that doesn’t create a hole at the 3C spot and loses them a draft pick. Easy no. And what kind of bath salt smoking math does STL, trade Buch and retain on him and get a 3 spot pick swap and a late first to have him land on a divisional rival?

Thread: Back

COL isn’t doing any trade that isn’t cap neutral at the very least, a trade not being cap neutral AND giving up a 1st is a rather easy no.

Got to agree with this. The UT Super Soakers aren’t looking for draft picks and cap dumps they are looking to compete immediately and it will be interesting to see what they do removed the shackles of the worst ownership in the league.

Maybe but it is a fact he isn’t just having his worst year of his career he has been atrocious and the Avs outscored his poor performance. That being said he was great last night and you can’t fault him for either goal given up.
