Confirmed with Link: TOR sign G Aaron Dell [1 year, 800K]

[Dekes For Days]

Good depth signing.

 

[Legion34]

Dubas absolutely messing with the media’s article deadlines

he trolls overdrive. 655 pm every big trade

 

[CanadienShark]

You'll love him. For 800k, he's a steal. No risk. He can hold his own as #1 for short stretches, and is a solid backup.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Another solid depth addition

 

[Burnie97]

I thought Dell might be a bit more money than that. That's a good price, and good for a 3rd stringer. Decent signing.

 

[stickty111]

Good signing, but this guy gets it.

 

[34Matthews]

great option for a backup if one of starting 2 get hurt..

 

[CelticDruid]

Wonder what Kyle had for supper tonight?

Kale.

Three helpings.

 

[SprDaVE]

Can't go wrong here.

 

[Kiwi]

Nice signing

We needed a #3G and we got the best one still on the market imo

Were not exactly flush with goaltending options so this is a much needed signing

Dellisio, not Dellivery

 

[Clark4Ever]

Very solid career numbers in the NHL for a 3rd stringer.

Record: 48-34-12
GAA: 2.76
SV%: .908

In the grand scheme of things its probably not going to matter much (we hope!) But overall this is a great signing for a #3

Thanks for the info

If the NHL is so keen on a full season in a short time frame, depth especially in net becomes crucial.

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

Dell was good two years ago, but it seems like since then both of San Jose's goalies have fallen off of a cliff. I don't know if that is the defense, but I am sure he is just happy to be making a paycheque this year and maybe gets another shot at an NHL job next year. He will have an opportunity to be a starter behind a good AHL team and is great insurance at least.

Leafs can acquire a cheap non-tender candidate next year to expose to expansion.

Anna and Elsa will love it.

 

[Schenn]

Dellisio, not Dellivery

Delisio used to be really good, but at some point they changed it and it sucks. Hopefully this analogy does not represent Dell. lol

 

[Merrrlin]

@LEAFANFORLIFE23 will be happy

that post was the first thing I thought about.

Nice call @LEAFANFORLIFE23

 

[BertCorbeau]

Anna and Elsa will love it.

This comment wins the internet tonight

The negotiation on this salary was crucial as the 800k price tag and not a dollar more keeps him ECU eligible.

In a condensed season thats a huge asset.
