There’s no question. I agree. It’s all about comparison.It's all about comparing them to his options. The Avs D compared to the Blues or the Sharks, it's tough to really give that edge to Colorado from that perspective. Colorado having MacKinnon could be a huge point in their favor but then again that D and the fact that Varlamov could bounce after next season could disqualify the Avs from the JT sweepstakes. We likely won't know until it actually happens.
I’m just trying to understand this whole, “there’s no #1 Dman” concept, as if it’s written in stone as a requirement.
A bunch of teams can make strong cases.
I’m not the one excluding the options for made up reasons.
As for the goaltending, the Avs have lots of assets to go out and get goaltending help if needed. I’m not concerned.
