GDT: Who pulled the fire alarm? FA day

[Nikishin Go Boom]

As long as Andersen is our reclamation 1B, Im good

having him resurrect his career will be fun to mess with Toronto about

 

[Stickpucker]

I'll add Goligoski as a prediction. No Hamilton, and with Barrie, Yandle, and Suter off the market he makes sense as a medium range 1-year contract for the PP. Although it sounds like Minnesota may be the destination for Goligoski.

I missed it where is Barrie going?

I wouldn't have minded him...but not as a pp1 qb. iirc his offense is mostly at 5v5. Adding Barrie and ADA could've worked for a shot in the arm at 5v5 and the pp.

Slavin - ? (Barrie)? --how bad is his defense compared to Hamboy?...someone probably has a nice comparison tool
Skjei - Pesce
?? - ADA

Can Hankypanky play offside? ....After thinking I'd love him when he came here I felt like he let me down a little bit. Although, he did score as many goals as Fleury last year in 8% of the games.

 

[Wolfpuck]

Yup:

10 am drinking, here I come!

 

[Chrispy]

I picked the wrong day to stop sniffin glue

Obviously. Why would you pick Free Agent Frenzy day to STOP??

 

[A Star is Burns]

I've been a proponent of adding Andersen before. So I'm fairly happy, details pending. No hard feelings.

3yr/4.5m per w/ EDM which seems like a decent deal

 

[Svechhammer]

lol we chose Freddie Anderson over Ned

Holy shit, wow

 

[Borsig]

Hey look! More dumpster goalies! f***ing awesome!

Hope you make them look stupid ned.

In before Raanta / Anderson and needing to call up the zamboni driver.


Oooh Oooh what about mrazek Anderson. That's an epic upgrade. Make a splash!

 

[Chrispy]

I missed it where is Barrie going?

Sounds like Barrie is staying in Edmonton (3 years, $4.5M)

 

[FreshSeabass]

If we end up with Kuemper/Anderson i could live with that tbh

 

[AD Skinner]

I don't HATE the idea of Andersen and maybe behind a better defense than he had in Toronto he'll pick his game back up. And really only last year was he below average in sv%

 

[TheOllieC]

Ex-Toronto goalies ONLY

 

[spockBokk]

I’m OK with Andersen.

I think he’s better than he’s shown in TOR and now he’ll “probably” have a much better D in front of him. Whatever the term and aav are will be key here. It certainly shouldn’t be anything close to what he was making and should also not be for more than 2yrs.

 

[Chrispy]

some folks worst nightmare coming true

Because I hate this move probably more than anyone here, I'll say something positive:

At least we aren't giving up the #13 overall pick for him.

 

[Stickpucker]

3yr/4.5m per w/ EDM which seems like a decent deal

Call up your boy and let him know it's colder than a witch's tit up there and he'd be better served enjoying himself on a nice hike in the mountains or at the beach. I'm sure ol' turtleneck can swing 4.5. That 1/2 of a Hamboy!

 

[DaveG]

Yikes - not sure that's an upgrade. Will wait to see the AAV.

3 years ago i would have been fine with this bit of news.

His last two seasons have been rather... Shocking. And trending the wrong way.

Maybe he can turn it around behind a decent defense but I'm not banking on it.

This is good:

 

[Stickpucker]

Yup:

don't'cha'know you can only win the cup with a goalie you drafted.

Plan the parade!

 

[Borsig]

Canes tradition.

Cheap.

BBQ in parking lot.

Goalies from the dumpster.

 

[A Star is Burns]

Andersen did have some pretty good years in front of some crummy Toronto defenses. If he can get healthy, I think he will do well for us.

 

[WhiteTrashAmerican]

I'm down with that. Gotta be honest would have liked a Freddy/Ned combo

 

[SoupNazi]

I picked the wrong day to stop sniffin glue

Today is the first day of the rest of your life.

Stop tomorrow.

 

[Stickpucker]

Finally got him signed, just a decade late.

we've been doing pretty well after our farm team in Toronto develops goalies for us.

They just suck at developing Dmen so we go to our farm system in NY for that.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

I'm down with that. Gotta be honest would have liked a Freddy/Ned combo

Freddy has shown if we have a good, homegrown goaltender already in the organization, he won't sign with us.

Having learned from the Ward situation, we knew we had to trade Ned to get Freddy here.

anyone have his numbers like goals saved above expected on hand to share?
