Jarry friggin sucks dude
GAA is by no means a perfect metric, but in this case I think it's worth it to point out given the disparity. Andersen has a 2.42 GAA on the season and CDS has a 3.17. The difference in save percentage, meanwhile, is .06.I’ll never get the idea that Desmith sucks. He is a standard sub 2 million back up.
People want to give Andersen a contract next year and he has a worse SV% than Desmith in the most protective defensive system in the league.
Andersen is a career .915 guy with almost 500 games under his belt and at 33 hopefully won't command as much term as Jarry will on his next contract.
Andersen has proven many times throughout his career he can be "the guy", playing over 50 games in 6 seasons and over 60 games in 3 seasons. So if there is no goalie trade out there ala Vejmelka/Gibson I'd rather give the Jarry money to him.
Despite what some yinzers may think, CDS is in no universe "the guy" and should be shipped out, ideally in such a Vejmelka/Gibson trade.
