Craig Anderson has been great for the team on and off the ice.
He currently sits at 197 wins with Ottawa. I hope we can get him 3 more before he is traded and/or retires. Would be a nice capstone to his Sens career to win 200 games with the franchise.
Would be a good pick up for a team questioning their #2 goalies.
Even with retaining 50% Toronto doesn’t have room.This smells like Toronto lol. We know Dorion is not afraid to trade with them. But if Anderson is trade to Toronto they will need to send salary back or Ottawa have to retain salary!
Eh, I don't know. They have 1.7m in capspace (pro-rated). Rask going on LTIR helps, but not massively. I suspect they will want to add in other areas, too... spending all that money on Andy seems unwise.Rask is gonna miss some serious time given his history. If they can get over the in-division barriers, I could see getting something done with Boston.
High fives all around...lolMaybe Dorion can extend him again
I think this could also be a possibility if a team would prefer Nilsson to Anderson & pay a little more to get him. Funny how the guys who would return the most are also the guys people wouldn't mind keeping in Pageau, Anderson, DeMello & Boro (some) . Personally, this is a trade deadline where they should make all of the UFAs available & see who returns the most & move them. If there are a couple of them after the deadline they can either let them go or sign them for another yr & look to trade them again next yr, if they want to keep an extra vet or two.What about trading Nilsson and keeping Andy - neither are in the long term plans. Let Andy back up Hoggy and ride off into the sunset. Tank goaltending secured for next year. Get an asset for a goalie - win win all around
The one workaround I could see is if we take Backes which, to be fair, would be a very interesting pick-up for us. He could play 4th line and earn less than his cap hit.
