Colorado Avalanche fans aren’t in quite the same boat that some of the teams around the NHL have been in over the last handful of years.
When it comes to goaltending, they’ve got a starter. Not only is Semyon Varlamov an NHL-caliber goaltender, but he’s one that’s proven capable of remaining reasonably consistent during his time in Denver.
While they haven’t had to go through quite the Edmonton goaltending carousel, though, their deal to bring Philipp Grubauer into the mix at the 2018 NHL Entry Draft immediately caused the hot takery to fly.
Some want to see Grubauer and Varlamov battle it out.
