Confirmed with Link: TOR sign G Petr Mrazek to 3 year deal, 3.8M AAV

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

3.8m ain't starter money.

He's making almost 2.5X what Campbell is for 3 years if he's healthy he's the starter.

Campbell being on an amazing deal doesn't change anything. They are a tandem.

 

[zeke]

Sadly it is for the Leafs

Sadly what?

Leafs have one of the best value starting goalies in hockey.

Just because we have a good starting goalie at a fantastic price doesn't make the 3.8m guy a starter.

No, but that 3 year contract does

Jack Campbell has a career high of 31 games he's literally never been a starter

That's why they signed a tandem partner.

But you have called Jack Campbell a starting goalie several times in this thread with a career high of 31 games that is factually wrong

We all understand why Dubas went out and grabbed a good tandem partner for Jack.

 

[crump]

At one point, every goalie has had a career high of 31 games. Campbell was literally the starter for at least half of the season last year.

But is he one of the best starters in the league?
It’s great to be a good value but we need a legitimate high end starter.
Is he that goalie

Leafs were dang good past year even with one goalie faceplanting and both goalies missing significant time to injuries.

Campbell was decent but he like the rest of the team failed to get the job done when it mattered. I guess I was hoping for more even though I know it couldn’t happen due to the cap
All that aside I hope the new guy can get it done

Which goalie out there do you think you can depend on to "get it done"?

 

[Gary Nylund]

Yeah the Leafs were awesome, especially in the playoffs.

 

[Its not your fault]

He's making almost 2.5X what Campbell is for 3 years if he's healthy he's the starter.

Nope sorry.

 

[Gary Nylund]

He's making almost 2.5X what Campbell is for 3 years if he's healthy he's the starter.

Not if Campbell plays better he isn't. They'll both play a bunch and whoever plays better will probably end up getting more starts.

The more interesting question to me is, are they working on an extension for Campbell? I sure hope so!

I'd want to see what he does next year before addressing that.

See that's the thing the guy who makes more monet and has job security given his 3 year deal to me that says he's coming in as the guy

 

[Gary Nylund]

That's one way to go for sure, I'd be fine with taking a gamble on him now for maybe a 4 year extension myself as I'm impressed with the way he played and I think he could be had cheap if we do it now. It's a risk either way obviously, if we don't sign him now and he plays great, the price will go way up.

Nah, Campbell played great last year, seems pretty clear that they're planning on running a tandem with no clear #1. If someone outplays the other guy by a good margin then that could change but they'll both get their chances. If Campbell plays much better then they're not giving the job to the other guy just because they're paying him more.

 

[ULF_55]

Would anyone guess the following goaltenders lead the 3rd. best team in the league this year?

Nedeljkovic
Reimer
Mrazek

 

[Dekes For Days]

No, but that 3 year contract does

Still means nothing. They are a tandem. Their play will dictate who plays more, not their cap hit or term.

Last 3yrs, minimum 2000 shot attempts against (gives us the top-59 most used goalies), sorted by dfsv% - the differential between save percentage and expected save percentage based on shot quality:

Campbell is just starting out his journey. And I'm optimistic. They didn't wanna squash him by bringing in a bonfire career starter, so they brought in a guy who's been a great tandem guy for basically his whole career. It's a smart move. You can't get a league minimum guy, and Campbell stumbles and you have no insurance behind him. Likelihood is they push eachother, and split somewhere around 46 and 35 games. 46 goes to the hottest hand. Really like the Mrazek signing myself
