With Arizona claiming Jonas Johansson from Colorado on waivers the Avs now probably need to find a replacement goalie to use in tandem with Annunen in the AHL. So which goalie(s) would make the most sense?

Devils are likely to waive Jonathan Bernier
His $4.1m caphit is far from ideal for a no.3 goalie. The Avs couldn't even add him even if they wanted to due to the cap.

Also any goalie the Avs claim on waivers would need to get waived again by the Avs to send them to the AHL, so waiver claims might not be a viable solution.

Guarantee if you pick him up, he will eventually take the starter's net from Georgiev.

It is likely that the Coyotes make another waiver claim on a goalie and the only reason that they made a claim on Johansen was cautionary (need for a goalie) and knowing the Avs will take him back.

Easiest add would be a couple of the guys currently on PTO: Chris Gibson and Jean-Francois Berube. Garret Sparks is a UFA and has been a serviceable AHL goalie.

Michael DiPietro has wanted a fresh start elsewhere but Vancouver would probably need to find a replacement goalie as well.

Handful of teams have six goalies and might have a crowded crease in the minors. But there aren't too many appealing options there.

See who passes through waivers and make a trade.

Oilers offer Pickard for Makar

Ok, Pickard for Makar* sounds fair, you got a deal.

Thanks for sharing that comprehensive list, that's a useful reference.

The Avs are probably good with running Annunen and Miner as the AHL goalies for the Eagles along with Czechia goalkeeper Lukas Parik who would be serving as their 3rd string goalie on an AHL contract.

Parik might be the Utah Grizzlies starter this season but could be recalled to Loveland if Annunen is recalled to Denver.

Avs #3 is, will be and should be Annunen. period. #4? who cares? roll with Miner and that AHL contract guy. they are as bad as JJ, so nothing changes really.

actually, there is a change: the Utah Grizzlies became stronger now, since they wont have Miner playing for them.

nothing to worry about. the oilers can't afford the cap hit without sending cap back.

so offer them to take connor mcdavid as a cap dump and you are fine.

What pick value do you think would get it done?
The poster is probably referring to whatever pick a C/D prospect is worth. Which typically isn't more than a 4th and probably around a 5th/6th.

EDIT: Poster answered. Nvm.

Oh, I am well aware of that. But someone over in that camp sees a starter in Alex Georgiev so I didn't want to waste the opportunity to double up.
