I think people are overrating Grubauer.
Him and Francouz split starts this season, and there was question coming into the playoffs about who would start between the two of them.
Lots of Avs reporters actually thought it might be Francouz since the team was better with him this season, and he shut Dallas in the qualifying round before Grubauer was injured.
So the injury hurts in that it doesn't give the Avs another option, but both goalies were pretty close this season.
