Value of: A goalie to the Leafs (If Andersen is out)

[A1LeafNation]

10 goalies? The TSN segment you have already referred to, and apparently didn’t comprehend, already debunked your theory.

Ryan Miller is a no go, won’t waive. Georgiev will cost too much. Campbell not on the block, Quick is. And they touched on a few others.

Try paying attention next time you bring up a poorly thought out point


And as I say this, the price for a goalie to the leafs keeps going up and up with how obvious it is that Dubas is willing to pay to save his job.

At least 10.

Self-delusion is often the most difficult obstacle to overcome.

2 goals against in 6 seconds could serve as a handy red pill though.

Need to fix the shit D before worrying about the shit backup.

LOL. Did you even look at what you posted? The majority of those goalies that are realistic are no better or only marginally better than Hutchinson.

the ones that can help the leafs either aren’t available (Francouz, Halak, Miller, Khudobin), or they cost way more than the leafs can afford (Lehner, Greiss, Elliott).

Sure, I suppose the leafs could add Aaron Dell or Keith Kinkaid, assuming they can unload salary, but those guys are not good, and being exposed behind the leafs defence just makes things worse.

So, like TSN and I said, the options are very limited, and have multiple bidders. Dubas is in trouble

There are 7 on that list not including guys with term like Campbell and Georgiev and Arizona goalie(they have 4).

Stop trying so hard to make a stupid point.

He’s kind of right though. Good goalies cost. Just because a team has two or three really good ones by no means says they are going to give one away. Isn’t that like saying the Leafs have three really good right shot wingers so one of them is cheap to get?

I actually agree with you. After tonight, Dubas knows the season is on the line. He is going to be willing to badly overpay to bring in an upgrade in goal. But unless he overhauls that trash heap he calls a defence corps first, any mediocre backup that he brings in won’t solve anything.

Well, to be fair, the leafs had 3 good centres and dumped one for a single year of Tyson Barrie and a vanilla meh player like kerfoot LOL. So maybe dubass does think like that

Dubas still won't be overpaying. Leafs won't be making the playoffs by overpaying for a backup. He may pani on as D trade, but not a backup goalie.

Value is based on skills/position/contract/underlying stats

I actually agree with this statement 100%...that is why in considering all of those things...the offers I'm seeing are rather paltry.

For which goalie are you speaking of?

 

[Tripod]

What I find interesting/odd....is on draft day, you always hear people say draft the BPA and don't draft for need. You can always trade for need if you have to.

Now here we are and the Leafs NEED a good backup goalie, and some are more worried about a little overpay to fill the obvious hole. And are willing to risk missing the playoffs for it too.

I am willing to bet the Leafs add someone....someone that is able to play as a starter if Freddy gets hurt again.

 

[Hockey Crazy]

Literally anybody in the NHL.... please

No backup goalie is going to save the Leafs. The D is terrible at defending. Leafs have too many holes compounded by injuries.

Too bad they don’t have a 1st round pick in a very deep draft.

 

[biturbo19]

Seems to me like, whether Andersen is injured or not...the Leafs need to do something with their goaltending situation. You can't just ride Andersen down the stretch, and expect him to be fresh and on a hot streak that lasts the entire grind of the playoffs. That team simply isn't good enough defensively to survive those "backup starts" and collect the points they need, while getting Andersen the rest he'll need.

If Andersen is out for a while though...this season could slip away in a hurry. Just makes an already glaring need, that much more pressing and immediate.

Really dumb comment lol.

Glad they could give you joy i guess?

 

[HellebuyckOurSaviour]

Id try and pry DeSmith out of Pittsburgh for a pick or something.

We want Kap. Picks do us no good.

 

[benedictTavares]

They def need an upgrade in goal because of injuries but they have serious issues with team defense and give aways. They probably need 1D and a G if they want to make the playoffs. Maybe the kings fit that?

 

[Artanis]

Craig Anderson and Demelo from the Sens.

 

[Tripod]

Only 1 team made the playoffs last year getting under 20 points from their backup(Vegas). That "seems" to be the magic number you need. The Leafs have 9 from Hutch so far.

I mentioned before, the Leafs have had an easier schedule too since Keefe became coach and they continue to do so until Feb 16th....only 2 of their next 6 is against playoff teams. Their last 22 games, 7 are against non playoff contending teams....so it certainly toughens up.

I 100% think Dubas adds a goalie...and a D fwiw.

 

[The S5]

Leafs need to get all of their F's to buy into playing 200 feet. Too many giveaways on risky passes and half assed back checking (Mathews did backcheck his butt off tonight).
Hutch wasn't terrible tonight. One bad goal. They could use a young, promising goalie. I don't see the need to bring in an older vet to backup Freddie when he gets back.

 

[Dog]

We can't depend on this team at all. They need to trade for goalie and defenseman fast. Hutchinson ffs just terrible and going into games with this guy is suicidal. Send him to AHL and get us a goalie.
