Host: “Talking of the central right here, let’s discuss in regards to the Colorado Avalanche and the goaltending state of affairs. Continues to be a little bit of a query mark regardless of that comeback final evening. Wedgewood coming in. What does Colorado must do in that
Friedman: “Effectively, I believe what they, what they should do is get rather a lot higher. There’s no query about that. They aren’t, proper now they’re not getting Stanley Cup goaltending. We will all see that.
What’s going to they do is, I believe they’re going to see Scott Wedgwood get a little bit of a run right here to see what he can do. You understand, they went out they usually focused Wedgwood, clearly buying and selling for him from Nashville. I believe after the comeback final evening, I wouldn’t be shocked in any respect to see him play tomorrow.
Just like the one factor in regards to the Colorado Avalanche, they’ve proven is that we sit right here and we discuss to a number of occasions a 12 months about they want goaltending, they need assistance, they should exit, and they should do one thing, they usually actually don’t do what a number of different individuals anticipate them to do. So I at all times maintain that in thoughts, Lauren.
I believe proper now Wedgewood will get a little bit of a run, like I mentioned, I believe he begins tomorrow they usually see how he handles the job.
I believe the opposite factor that the Avalanche are form of doing is, they actually should watch out with their cap state of affairs, for when, what Landeskog state of affairs finally is or isn’t going to be.
And I believe in addition they wish to wait to see if there’s something they will add later within the 12 months. So I believe they stand pat for now. They see how Wedgewood does, and we’ll see the place we’re in a number of weeks.
