Excellent. There is our 3rd goalie.

Only for one year, but maybe the Leafs just acquire a guy before the expansion draft next year instead.

 

[The Podium]

Will he clear waivers?

I think Dell is at least as good as Hutchinson, let alone Kaskisuo. I like our goalie depth a lot better

 

[SeaOfBlue]

Will he clear waivers?

I would assume so. If a team really wanted him as their backup, they could have just signed him.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Will he clear waivers?

I would think so.

 

[Schenn]

Wonder what Kyle had for supper tonight?

 

[Gabriel426]

That’s a good depth signing.

 

[BertCorbeau]

@LEAFANFORLIFE23 will be happy

Kaskisuo was better than Hutchinson, so if he is better than Kaskisuo, then he is better than Hutchinson.

There are a bunch of guys better than Hutchinson still out there.

 

[Fogelhund]

Expected signing is expected.

 

[MarMarSab3]

Two year deal would have been ideal

 

[stickty111]

Best available. Good signing. Goaltending depth cleared up.

 

[Cor]

Dell is a pretty quality backup goalie himself.

Very comfortable if Andersen or Campbell get hurt now.

 

[gyzmo]

I was hoping for Adele truthfully.

Took a longer dinner this tine

Kaskisuo was better than Hutchinson, so if he is better than Kaskisuo, then he is better than Hutchinson.

There are a bunch of guys better than Hutchinson still out there.

But do those guys have as many bubble playoff wins as Hutch? Didn't think so.

Does that mean Freddy is staying or was the veteran #3 coming no matter what?

 

[Menzinger]

Does that mean Freddy is staying or was the veteran #3 coming no matter what?

They've been reportedly looking for a #3 since free agency opened, so I'd presume this is him.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Kaskisuo was better than Hutchinson, so if he is better than Kaskisuo, then he is better than Hutchinson.

There are a bunch of guys better than Hutchinson still out there.

Dell had a -0.1 GSAA/60 (41st), Hutchinson had a -0.66 (69th). So Dell is still a below average goalie, but it's nice that our 3rd stringer is better than our backup goalie from last year. Hell, Dell was even slightly better than Campbell

Dubas absolutely messing with the media’s article deadlines

 

[Stephen]

They cut Kaskisuo loose to free agency and he signed with Nashville so I guess this is the replacement.

 

[Nylander88]

Great signing for a 3rd stringer. Gives us great depth in net. As good as any backup we've had for years until we had enough and went and traded for Campbell. Good move Dubas. What an off-season

 

[Buds17]

Not bad at all for a #3. Not minding this depth kick going on with the organization in the least!
