PHILLIP GRUBAUER - Goalie - 27 - $3.33MM Cap Hit - UFA in 2021-2022
LAST UPDATED 7/28/19
Another product of legendary goalie guru Mitch Korn's incredible teaching, Phillip Grubauer finally escaped purgatory as Braden Holtby's starter to become the legitimate #1 goalie of the Colorado Avalanche. (now that Varlamov is gone) With an increased workload and without the help of Washington's favorable system for goaltenders, Grubauer only saw a minor decrease in his statistical production, and his .917/2.64/7.53 line is still very strong and above-average starter level. Now the #1 guy, Grubauer should finally be able to realize the potential he always had. Obviously, goalies are incredible volatile and Grubauer could fall on his face, but he's so talented and so calm that Grubauer experiencing a Scott Darling-like fall would shock me. He'll be a good starter in Colorado and should solidify post-Varlamov era in net for Colorado, as well as extend the Washington to Colorado goaltending talent pipeline that for some reason exists with the Grubauer and Varlamov trades.
