Avs believe they can plug and play with goalies, dis gonna be fun

The idea of rotating goaltenders can work if multiple are starter quality. Go with the hot hand. Better long term for the regular season and if injury happens, but a superstar goaltender for the playoffs is more appealing.

Rotating goalies never really pan out very well though in the long run and you don't se goalie rotating in the playoffs even when you have 2 shitty options (oilers) they'll stick with the starter because that generally gives you a better chance in a series then just 1 off games.

The Avs are most likely not going to go with rotating goalies though, they just don't value high priced goalies, goalie good, they run with it, when contracts up they let em go. Funny that Sakic is the GM doing this since he played with Roy when he won his cups :D

KO's there to investigate the two Elias Pettersons from the Canucks to see if it will help him in his investigation of Ezekiel and Elias.

This makes all the sense.

In all seriousness, I bet the Habs didn't pick Wright because of the Francophone bias towards Americans

Probably, if nhl wanted him to go anywhere it woulda been arizona so they can fill their 5k seat building next year, gonna look bad with it only half filled

NHL just needs to cut their losses and leave Arizona and bring back the Nordiques.

Hell, you'd get more sell outs in the Maritime provinces than you would anywhere else.
