Thats a pass by the Avs.
If Avs wanted to sign a goalie for over 6m, they would have extended Grubuer. Gibson contract isnt a steal anymore, its the high end of market value for Top 15 starters, and his stats haven't been what they used to be.
Gibson is still good goalie but hes not the elite one on a steal of a long term contract anymore. If they are comfortable with that goalie cap hit, now they will just sign Kuemper to a lesser hit than Gibson.
I dont see the benefit of this deal at all (and no Gibson has not been noticeably better or worse than Kuemper or Grubauer over the past 2 years, so lets not pretend he has more value than he actually does, results matteR)
