Host: “Talking of the central right here, let’s discuss concerning 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 have to do in that
Friedman: “Effectively, I feel what they, what they should do is get quite a bit higher. There’s no query about that. They aren’t, proper now they’re not getting Stanley Cup goaltending. We are able to all see that.
What’s going to they do is, I feel they’re going to see Scott Wedgwood get a little bit of a run right here to see what he can do. , they went out they usually focused Wedgwood, clearly buying and selling for him from Nashville. I feel after the comeback final evening, I wouldn’t be stunned in any respect to see him play tomorrow.
Just like the one factor concerning the Colorado Avalanche, they’ve proven is that we sit right here and we discuss to a number of instances a yr about they want goaltending, they need assistance, they should exit, and they should do one thing, they usually actually don’t do what a whole lot of different individuals anticipate them to do. So I at all times preserve that in thoughts, Lauren.
I feel proper now Wedgewood will get a little bit of a run, like I stated, I feel he begins tomorrow they usually see how he handles the job.
I feel the opposite factor that the Avalanche are form of doing is, they actually need to 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 feel in addition they wish to wait to see if there’s something they’ll add later within the yr. So I feel they stand pat for now. They see how Wedgewood does, and we’ll see the place we’re in just a few weeks.
