Confirmed with Link: [TOR/CGY] TOR acquire David Rittich [50% retained] for 2022 3rd Round Pick

[Crosscrease14]

Good add with Freddy out. If he plays well maybe consider a tandem next year if they can't get a guy like Ullmark.

 

[zeke]

Even Mirtle isn't sure now about Freddy. He was confident Freddy would be back.

Mirtle is just now realizing that his sources work for dubas, not for him.

 

[Pinto]

Carve me up a spot on Mount Zeke, I called this one a while ago.

 

[Jmo89]

Man the guy needs a hug..Campbell and him are going to be funny together.

You can see it now. Rittich let's in a softy... Skates to the bench angry. Campbell gives him a stick tap, wink, and a hug. Rittich saves the next 30 shots.

 

[Puckstuff]

flip him for Ullmark

 

[zeke]

Carve me up a spot on Mount Zeke, I called this one a while ago.

Welcome aboard!

 

[Auston 316]

Well this is Rittichulous.

Dubas ain’t Folign around.

I’ll show myself out.

Bad News: not really an upgrade on Fred

Good News: this means that Fred's caphit is no longer an issue for us and we have $3.5m in capspsce left, enough to get anyone.

Good News: the fact we paid extra for all these retention means Dubas is gonna use that $3.5m.

This was mentioned after the Foligno deal. Dubas paid a premium for retention which is what cost him a 1st. Probably a reason for that.

 

[Wafflewhipper]

Imagine Kerfoot plus SDA +2021 2nd for Hall@50%

I think they would want Abramov but we don’t need Hall, we already have one

 

[Leaftors]

Welcome aboard!

What D are we getting zeke

 

[Teeder Keon]

Well this is Rittichulous.

Dubas ain’t Folign around.

I’ll show myself out.

Your Riley( n) me up with your raised Hall ???
I’m leaving right after you now

 

[GQS]

Is it possible to move Andersen for anything? If so it will have been a good trade dealine weekend for the Leafs.

 

[ChurchOfMatthews]

He does seem like he's pissed most of the time

I like players that play with emotion. Shows that they at least care a little.

Freddie won’t be back

Per my post a couple of days ago, he shouldn't be back. It benefits both parties this way.

First, there isn't a goalie controversy this way. Just accept that the team is much better in front of Campbell. No drama or distraction.

Second, for Freddie he can now become a UFA and let it be known that he tried to work through his injury but it didn't pan out. He gets healthy and a team takes a shot at him for a two or three year deal knowing how great he was just two years ago.

That's how I would play this if I were him. Dubas and the team have decided that Campbell has earned it. Rittich is the backup plan and can provide days off.

 

[IrishInOntario]

I like it! Neccessary depth. Nice job Kyle!

 

[Gabriel426]

Your Riley( n) me up with your raised Hall ???
I’m leaving right after you now

I am hearing Ekholm.
Will meet you outside

 

[Wafflewhipper]

Not my preferred target, but a solid move nonetheless. Adios Andersen.

I was hoping for Khudobin for playoff insurance minimum and also exposing him in the expansion draft to entice The Kracken away from Holl also. They take him we still have Holl,They take Holl we still have a Tandem.

 

[Wafflewhipper]

Dman is next

There is still money in money out trade potential also. Still great job already

 

[Wafflewhipper]

They don't need Hutch anymore. Campbell and Rittich is good enough to take you to the playoffs and by then Andersen might be back. Worst case they can recall Woll to the taxi squad if another injury happens.

Or just do the right thing and keep Hutch

 

[Le Cobra]

Rittich is the kind of goalie who can steal games for you. Perfect acquisition. He is going to be lights out for us. Thank you Dubas!

 

[Tak7]

Mirtle is just now realizing that his sources work for dubas, not for him.

The reason Mirtle isn't committing to an answer, is because there isn't one.

They currently have $2.1M in LTIR cap space, and need $1.8M of that space to activate Fred from LTIR.

As of right now, they have enough room to activate him if he's back before the playoffs.

Another move tonight/tomorrow, and they don't have that room anymore.

Hence, "TBD", or To Be Determined.

It's the most accurate response to the current situation

That's awesome news. This is probably the best Leafs team I've seen in a long, long time. I'm glad to see Dubas is going all in. Toronto is 9-0-1 in their last 10 games, been first numerous times in the entire NHL and have been first in their division for a long time.

No Boston, no Pittsburgh, no Caps to worry about in the first two rounds.

As a realistic Leafs fan, I'm not scared of the Leafs facing Montreal, Edmonton or Winnipeg in a seven game series. The Oilers have zero forward depth outside of McDavid and Leon D. A 39 year old goaltender won't take them to the promise land.

Habs have what, Price? He can't even stop a beach ball right now. Allen is decent, but not decent enough to worry me.

The only team I'm a little leery of is Winnipeg.

What a great season this has been, very fun to watch unfold.

I have NO complaints as a Leafs fan right now.

 

[Wafflewhipper]

Forwards and goalies look deep.

How much faith does Dubas have in Sandin and Liljegren?

Not to much gut he likes their depth also. He might not want to rush them but would be comfortable in a pinch i bet. Sandin is back from injury now so lots of time to get comfortable with the Marlies

 

[mikeyz]

Does this mean Andersen is out for the season??

It is looking like it.
