Don't think so there mate. Col shouldn't give up the farm for a goalie upgrade that will handcuff them financially for years.

This team will truly compete for the cup once Byram gets to the NHL and they get another top/middle 6 winger. Going all in for this year while giving up a potential top pair D man is just a bad idea.

thats all assuming grubauer plays like good

Hawks won the cup with stellar defense and ok goaltending, 3 times

Absolutely not

5-1-1 .915% is pretty good, better than prices record so far this year ( I still believe price is the best tender in the world)

@Bigphil the problem with this trade is you see price and grubauer and you say price is an upgrade... but how much of an upgrade? Does price win you 5-10 more games a year? Does price get hurt in the playoffs? What you really have to ask yourself is, is price worth 7+ mill more for seven years, the full potential of bowen byram, and the 2021 1st rd pick... and coming from a guy who still thinks price is the best goalie in the league, I dont feel that it's worth it

Based purely on "who is better, Price or Grubauer?" Of course the answer is Price and I definitely agree Price is the best Goalie in the league, hands down. Poor guy just never got a team in front of him. Good for him for getting paid since he'll never win a cup.
But definitely not worth pursuing since the cost to acquire him will be too great and also his absurd contract. Only way to get him will be if Montreal buys him out and the Avs make him an offer, but if Montreal buys him out, it will likely be because he's old and declined.
The Avs have Annunen showing signs of upside and I have high hopes for Miner as well.

Haha who cares about their prospects, gruby is 27 and no reason he should have at least 8 more seasons in him maybe more, they always trade for a goalie anyway.

I feel bad for price unless MTL does something to get some scoring in front of him, maybe some top potential dmen ( not from the avs)

As an Avs fan, you should probably care about their prospects since, as you said, they always trade for a goalie anyway. They finally have some goalies to look forward to man. Of course I'm hoping Grubi has a ton more healthy, solid seasons for the Avs. That would be awesome, especially if Francouz continues to shine.

I'm just saying that the avs have never successfully drafted a starting goalie since they've been in denver.. pickard and budaj are their best drafted goalies, if players like grubauer will only cost them a 2nd and 3rd pick I'd say keep picking skaters

I don't disagree with ya. Just saying it's nice to see a few goalies that the Avs have drafted who aren't garbage all while having 2 very capable goalies in the NHL.

One thing for sure is that Price can win games by himself and is putting pressure on the organization to win now. I don't think the organization will be able to provide him a cup contender team in the short future. A trade would be a good thing for him.

Agreed, however unless MTL retains a significant piece of his deal it wont be good for the team he goes to
