Proposal: Trading Freddie for a 1A/1B Goalie

[DingDongCharlie]

Oilers will give ya 2b Mike Smith

While joking here we couldn’t even afford that swap. Toronto should just use Andersen till UFA and see what’s on the market next off season.

 

[Hischier and Hughes]

Not at the prices leafs fans expect. He wasn’t much better than either of our guys last year. If we had a goalie it’s for someone who can push us over the hump in the playoffs. That isn’t Andersen based off his track record.

Id expect Andersen behind Carolina’s defense to be a decent bit better than their current options

One season under .910 shouldnt negate his 5-6 others at .916+

 

[Lt Dan]

Malcolm Subban is currently a #1 goalie

So Anderson/Subban swap ,,,,,, Ok

 

[Waivers]

You are downgrading your nets big time with a move like Francouz. It sounds counter-intuitive for the Leafs, whether we are taking about cap dumps or not.

Carolina gives up a ton of high danger chances. You can’t automatically assume he’d be better there.

He also has a track record of poor play in the postseason and is only under contract for one more year. Really tough sell to convince Carolina.

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

The one that didn't play behind the Leafs defense last year.

So you're admitting that The Oilers defense is better than the Leafs... ?

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

I also remember hearing the leafs would have to attach draft picks to get rid of Aj etc so this doesn't surprise me at all

Have you had a good look at the return ?

 

[Fatass]

No way should the Leafs trade Freddy. They should be working to extend him. The guy has played very well. When the backups played, the team didn’t win much, did they?

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

I have to wonder what the issue is in elimination game 3rd periods. I like Freddy he's great but I dunno if I can just blame the D on the consistent elimination game 3rd period duffs. because he usually lets in a soft goal or 2 when it really matters.
I'm still a big Freddy fan but have to wonder if he's the right guy.
In no rush to get back into the goalie hunting game. those years were terrible. Raycroft, Toskala, Reimer, Bernier.

Glad to see that you were not one of the Leafs fans that had him at top 5 at one time...

 

[seanlinden]

The only goalie not firmly cemented in his position that would meet the criteria / motivation for the Leafs to move Andersen would be Kuemper.

Obviously Arizona needs picks a lot more than they need a #1 goalie this year, so it then becomes a question of getting a 3rd team involved to give up picks for Andersen, or give up picks for Raanta.

 

[Ziggdiezan]

Have you had a good look at the return ?

I saw them get a decent prospect rather than having to attach a draft pick/prospect to move AJ.

Decent prospect ?

Very low bar for "decent"...

 

[Arthur Morgan]

I haven't done the research but I think the most consistent of them all was Reimer. everyone else from what I can remember had solid first seasons with Toronto. and I fell in love with them except Raycroft I was salty about Rask.
and then it didnt take long for me to get sick of the rest of them after year one lol

Last years defense?? lol, 100%... was there a debate about this??

 

[Roadhouse]

At some point teams will crack and take a loss on assets they need to move, like TOR may have to do with Andersen. They need to pay this year's RFAs, look at both Hyman and the starter position/contract during the year, then gear up for the Reilly payday. All of the above in a short flat cap era. Dubas will crack.

 

[Oddbob]

something like

Andersen to NSH for Saros + 2021 4th

or

Andersen to COL for Francouz + Calvert


Why other teams would do this - Upgrade your 1a/1b goalie to a bonafied starter

Why Leafs do this - Cap Savings + Run 3 Goalies (New Goalie, Campbell, Dell, 30-30-20)


thoughts?

I thought the Leafs are trying to win, so why is Dell playing 20 games?

Reimer was beat out by Bernier who was outplayed by Andersen and he looks like a solid goalie in Carolina. The Hurricane aren’t defensive juggernauts but they’re a lot better than the Leafs defensively.

 

[LucicAndChong]

Because if Dell can have a .907 sv% for 30+ games behind the 2019-2020 Sharks, I would imagine he could post at least a .910sv% in about half the starts
