This is just a warm-up deal for the Lindholm to Leafs deal in the future. Just you watch.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Andersen is absolutely a #1. Great pick up for the Leafs. We got FLEEEEECED.

[Kuro Madoushi]

You dumb nerds! Stop worrying now and worry when he lets in the first shot on goal next season.

PTSD
Toskala
Bernier
Giguere
From Cali teams

Raycroft as a trade

 

[Merguson]

Andersen's AAV is actually $5 million, not $5.5 million.

 

[MultiJhonny]

edit: nevermind Im slow as fuck

Dammit, Mirtle!

not our highest paid player!

Heck, Capfriendly > Mirtle

Andersen's deal isn't that terribly far off from the David Clarkson special actually

He likely doesn't have the crazy signing bonus clause.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Hi!

 

[yyzjohn]

Bobby Mack > Mirtle

Heck, Capfriendly > Mirtle

To be fair Lou might have given Mirtle some misinformation so people freak out over $5.5M and then see $5 and say "oh that's way better!!!!"

Edit: they're gonna have to dump Bernier now no? No way Leafs can go with $9M tied up in goalies.

 

[Yawnier]

Or a buyout-proof contract either. Sorry Columbus, blame Dave Nonis.

Can't see any team taking on Bernier for a year without the leafs taking back an equivalent cap dump

 

[shadowkat]

Nah I'm getting excited.

Anderson is a #1 goalie. And come July 1st there is a solid chance Leafs will get Stamkos.

Well, he also had better defense in front of him.

And I don't see us getting Stamkos, tbh.

Andersen is absolutely a #1. Great pick up for the Leafs. We got FLEEEEECED.

WTF just happened to r/hockey. Stay away from it people

Everything is fine.

It's stripped of all styles now, not back to how it should be yet though

For just one year I dunno if it's that big of a deal. On Overdrive Lou made it sound like they will be a tandem this year.

 

[Foggy]

Yikes, 5 years seems a bit much for Freddie. Better get cracking on developing and drafting some goalies.

guaranteed our 2nd will be a goalie at this point

they can always shift Matthews to be in net.

Yeah but Lou never gives away what his plans are.

 

[imBask]

that's a lot of years and a lot of money for Andersen, a #2 goalie who was a #1 with a great team in front of him

I hope it'll be Bernier all over again

 

[DopeyFish]

frederik andersen is one of the rare players to be drafted twice

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

That is a lot of money. And we just had a Stanley Cup playoffs where the final four goalies were Matt Murray, Martin Jones, Brian Elliott, and Andrei Vasilevskiy.

For a young team with a rising cap that $5M won't seem as significant a few years from now, but it handcuffs them a bit if they want to sign any big FA skaters.

I would've done a bridge deal myself. See how he does without Anaheim's defence.

there is no bridge in this circumstance

1 year would take him to ufa

 

[CreeperBlocks]

25M for Andersen


Hope it's worth it LeafsGAF. Might be a gamble.

Craig Button of all people just said that he likes this Andersen trade and deal on TH2N so now I'm even more scared.

Andersen's AAV is actually $5 million, not $5.5 million.

Still a bit much but it's a hell of an upgrade. Once Bernier's $4M contract is gone it won't look so bad.

 

[SmackCrackleNPop]

Heretic has said Andersen is a #1 goalie. I'm here to confirm that he is unquestionably a #1 goalie. Don't worry about that. Only thing I'd worry is defense. He can only do so much by himself for stretches of time. Also allows a soft goal or two at times.

Heard a month ago he waiting to see what Chi was doing before deciding. Expect him there.

Yes please. Id love to have Campbell back now that his cap hit isnt 7+. Itd let Keith/Seabrook pair up again which would help both and Hjalmarsson would have a guy back that he was extremely effective with. Plus if we sign Campbell we might not have the cap space for Shaw.

 

[SmackCrackleNPop]

If he doesn't work out immediately, we can offer Clayton Stoner to help with the defense.

This could work out pretty...

...hey wait a minute, I play NHL 16 and Clayton Stoner is a shitty player!

You'll get another year of Roszival and like it.

Don't believe EA. It's not always in the game. Stoner has size, physicality and intangibles through the roof.

Nice try man Burke ain't our GM no more
Regardless, sounds like a guy Carlyle will play entirely too much!

1 year is still a bridge. Confused why they wouldn't do this. One year, $3M, if he proves himself, give him 4 years $20M. Are they afraid of him pulling a Bobrovsky?

Andersen is a #1 goalie and anybody arguing otherwise needs some kind of zroid-level squiggly chart that nobody understands to prove it.

Carlyle is going to love Stoner

He would have just tested unrestricted free agency next July
