Confirmed Signing with Link: [CAR] G Frederik Andersen re-signs with the Hurricanes (2 years, $3.4M AAV)

[Svechhammer]

$7m for 3 goalies, who won the Jennings in 2021-22, is stupid.

Added with the savings from the Staal extension, the Canes have a ton of cap space to use to improve the offense this season

 

[CamPopplestone]

Eh, he was not good last season. Term and money isn't a risk Really, but he looked cooked last season and I'd have probably moved on. But he obviously likes it there

 

[boboche]

I guess he wants to stay in Carolina, I would imagine he could get more elsewhere. Very good deal for the Canes.

You are aware he put up 1.87 GAA and .927 SV% in the playoffs right?

Some people don’t handle facts very well.

I'm not one to put all the stock into a few weeks of good play at the end after a brutal season, especially advanced stat wise behind a really good defensive team.

Like I said, I dont think it's an awful contract, it's not long enough or high enough AAV to be. But I'd probably just have moved on myself

Well the playoffs are kind of important so performing well in those ‘few weeks’ are kind of a big deal whether you personally put stock into it or not. Canes goaltending is going to come in at $7m for 3 goalies this season. That’s unbelievable value.

 

[thekernel]

That is bonkers value for the Canes. Absolutely bonkers

 

[WeDislikeEich]

Damn, I wanted the Sabres to go after him. I would have been totally fine overpaying him on a 2-3yr deal. Something like $5M x 2 or even $6M x 2 if that’s what it took to get him to want to come to Buffalo. He would’ve been a nice bridge starter until Levi was ready.

Maybe Andersen didn’t want to leave Carolina and just took their best offer. But I’d love to know if any other teams made him an offer and if Buffalo was one of them.

 

[CTHabsfan]

As long as he can stay healthy, he does well in that system so it should be a good signing

He doesn't stay healthy, that's the problem. The Hurricanes goaltenders have a small cap hit, which is good, but I'd be worried about having the same old injury-prone goalies.

They have 3 nhl caliber goalies signed for roughly $7 mil. I think they’ll be ok.
