Theodore the best on the market. Ouch! Not a good market this year. I would like to see this guy return to form, just don't think it's going to happen, I hope the Av's don't spend too much on him. They better draft the best goalie available this year and get him into the system. Unless they already have a good prospect. But the Av's have got a lot of holes to fill at this point.

YAWN!!!! Has Forsberg retired (again) yet?

DCruiser... Again? Forsberg hasn't retired once yet. I think that Theo will take a "hometown discount" of sorts to stay in Colorado. There's no way he's getting $6 mil this year. That would be a mistake. I just hope the 2nd half of last year wasn't a fluke. If it wasn't, $4 mil a year would turn out to be a steal. Otherwise, it's wasted money.

evolv....agreed, the AVs have more problems than just Theodore signing. He's a good goalie don't get me wrong...but the best on the market? yikes...that's a scarey prospect for anyone looking to fill problems in goal. The AVs gotta get rid of the the retirement home crowd for starters. Foote should go to the Kings and play on a line with Blake...they could trip you with their walkers.

and Foppa is finished..he'll never play more than 10 games in a row without then sitting out the next 10...retire already

You're right, wtnelson, Foppa only made a half dozen comebacks.

I hear Ray Emery is available

Avs would be smart to resign Theodore.

I wouldn't like to be an Avs fan right about now.

They could always sign Raycroft

Dominik might be coaxed out of retirement. Hey, he's got 2 rings now.
There's experience. Keep a stash of inhalers close by for him...that thin
mountain air & all.

He'd quickly rush back into retirement when he realized what playing behind an average team was like again, not the best defensive team in the league.

For the record, no Avs fan is saying that we desperately want Theodore back. BGM may be on to something with a trade. Secondly, DCruiser, yes, Forsberg has made several comebacks, but they were from injury, not retirement. And third, there is a goalie that played for the Lake Erie Monsters, the Avs AHL affiliate, for the past 2 years that the Avs are very high on named Tyler Weiman. He is familiar around here because, when he was 19, he backstopped the 2nd year Colorado Eagles to a Central Hockey League title. That may not seem like anything, but, at the time, the Eagles were affiliated with the Pittsburgh Penguins organization. Weiman looks like he could be a very good NHL goaltender.

I'd rather have Budaj. Is Conlkin a FA? He was one of the main reasons the Pens made the playoffs. Oh yes I went there. Maybe go after Valiquette! IDK

Best goalie on the market? NO WAY. NO WAY. You're NO HUET, JOSE!!!

Kolzig might be good for another couple of years. Get him.

I wonder what Ottawa will do seeing as most of the availble goalies are really old or one trick ponies..... so what to do... stay with repeat offender RAY or through a bone to one of the contestants available in the summer... I guess the other option is a TRADE, but the concept of actually trading for good players in the offseason is slowly becoming extint in the NHL!!!

and.........one more pity call to Bostongm

BOURQUE IS BETTER THAN LIDSTROM!!!!! because the ROCK says so!
