Rick Sadowski: Grubauer starts, Varlamov hurt again; Barrie closing in on franchise mark

Is anyone else getting impatient at this stage with Mr. Jost? If he can't register
some decent point production with those 2 players, it is seriously time to start
think about trading him. I kinda sucks if they lose Varlamov for nothing next year, but they more then likely need him still for a playoff push . Not sure he's worth it anymore though for a high dollar deal .

I thought it was a mistake leaving North Dakota too soon. Watching him every weekend I could see his offensive talent, but he wasn't ready for the NHL game. He has shown flashes of what he did for UND, but then he gets knocked off the puck easily. I'm not ready to give up on him just yet. But he either needs to be put on one line and just deal with the growing pains or sent down for consistent ice time in the AHL.

Josty showed up tonight, thats the best he has looked in a long time. Grubauer has flashes of brilliance but cant seem to put 3 solid starts together. If Varly cant go we really need to put Francioux in there, hes been terrific in both relief appearances this season. Hope this game is a wake up call for Jost and Kerfoot. If Im Sakic, Im trading a mid round pick and getting some offensive help. Wonder if Frolik is available, also wouldnt mind Hagelin
