Proposal: TML <-> SJS goalies

[the Chad Kilger]

Freddy Andersen retained + 5th rd pick for Dubnyk

Leafs bring in Dubnyk to platoon with Campbell.
salaries and term will match after retention. low risk move for the Sharks and they add an asset

So the Leafs are paying for what is at best a lateral move?

seems to me the Andersen era is over. He can be a good goalie but has struggled this year and hasnt gotten it done in the playoffs. I recognize it is a lateral move but Dubnyk has shown to be a world class goalie at times and I would roll the dice that with a good team in front of him he may find some magic

So yes.

Thanks.

Pass.

Would make more sense if SJS retained salary and TOR paid up more to free up cap space for a bigger move in my opinion. And I believe some better goalies (Raanta ?) would be available and better for TOR with the same logic !

QFT. San Jose isn't doing anything this year... Toronto is a legitimate contender, with the assets to make a big splash if they want to, but not the cap space.

While I don't necessarily believe that the Leafs are ready to "pull the plug" on Andersen with a quarter of a season left on his deal, it is something they should probably consider if they can free up $2.5m in cap space while making a lateral move.

its a 5th round pick LOL

 

[A1LeafNation]

If the Andersen era is done, why don't the Leafs trade for a better goalie lol

 

[Oddbob]

Why on earth are the Leafs adding on top for an even older goalie who is playing no better than Andersen is, and who played terrible last year? Andersen's value is still quite a bit higher than Dubnyk. My guess is Andersen will get moved away from Toronto and be completely fine for another team.

Fine.
San Jose can send us their 5th round pick instead of Toronto sending theirs.
Since it's meaningless.

Dubnyk put up an .890 SV% on an above average defensive team in Minnesota last season and has been regressing since 2016-17. Andersen’s regression in comparison started in March 2019.

Hard pass.

how is it meaningless, san jose isn't the playoff team with goaltending issues.

imo it is a mistake for the leafs to head into the playoffs with Andersen. we've tried it 4 times already and have failed each time. keeping him as a backup is a distraction. I would pay a little for an equivalent goalie just for the change.

I think Dubnyk is a good target as SJS is out of it and he is a free agent. I am all for finding a better goalie (Raanta was brought up) if something similar can be worked out

 

[themelkman]

Anderson is also a UFA and the sharks should be tanking. Just give us a third for Dubnyk

 

[Gecklund]

Deal.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Dubnyk could be of interest but Toronto doesn't retain AND send a pick

 

[Groo]

Without the pick what's the purpose for the Sharks?

The pick AND the rention is the problem

 

[Groo]

The pick AND the rention is the problem

Then I'd guess that it's not a good suggested trade

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Then I'd guess that it's not a good suggested trade

I just see no reason the Leafs would retain

 

[Groo]

I just see no reason the Leafs would retain

Sure. With so few games left to play I'm sure it not a big deal one way or the other

Seriously, I can't see why anyone should be interested in Dubnyk. I know the man is a person and all, but he is not good.

He’s actually not bad. Sharks just suck. Jones is the one that’s really bad.

Well Freddy is Hurt Campbell isn't going tonight because he's not 100% so they might need a goalie
