Seems like a lot

I think this is a fair assessment.

It'd be nice to get value for Bozie tho.
- TheMussel

Value as in cap space?

TB traded for a bag of pucks

*leaf fans jump for joy all over the globe*

bernier and bozack should be gone before the draft ......i hope

So...2 in 30 years?

A low 2nd would be nice.

I’m so jaded from past goalie acquisitions….i’m cautiously optimistic.

For better or worse, we got our goalie.
- Tumbleweed

It's different from Toskala and Bernier though. Both were backups. Andersen was the #1 guy for the past 2 years.

Also Horton cap kicks in when we're at the limit, so technically we can go ~5M over.

Christ the Clarkson trade was genius cap circumvention. I love when the leafs use their money for evil.

Frederik Andersen says he's been working out in the same California gym as Joffrey Lupul.

TELL HIM TO GO SOMEWHERE ELSE

Lou: "Ok, 5.5 per, but I expect you know what to do with this, Freddie..." *hands Andersen a tire-iron*.

If we need him gone to fit Stammer, I don't care what we get back.

It's about time they figured out how to.

I'm going to poop my pants if the Leafs actually do sign Stamkos.

Stamkos, zaitsev pans out, things would look very different in Toronto.

hmm


- BINGO!

strong possibility now after getting andersen. proving to him that they do intend to contend next year. smart move to get it done before free agency opens up as well.

1A/B, but yeah, and he has playoff numbers that are respectable to good.

Not a lot of games, but enough that they seem to know what they're getting. I'm really happy with it.

I thought we'd settle on a M.A. Fleury with some salary going back (maybe Bozak/Bernier), but this is a better move long-term and more of a sure-thing than drafting an 18-year unknown (although they may still do that in the later rounds).

Gms don't actually watch the games anymore, they just look at these nifty charts and make their decisions.

Agreed: I've been hoping and stating that Andersen should be the target for over a month. Surprised that any Leaf fans are not ecstatic about this move. Every team needing a number one goalie was in on this for sure and with reason.
- winsix

Lots of people thought the same things about Bernier, Toskala, and Raycroft to a lesser extent. Im not going to be sold until we see a season with him in net, seems like playing in TO isnt the most comfortable place for goalies. Of the "available" names out there Andersen is prbably the most attractive, I have the highest of hopes though.

Just received from Vesey's agent: "Jimmy's intent at this time has not changed and is prepared to become a free agent on August 15." #Sabres

LMFAO

Andersen is a bottom.

This makes the Lehner "overpayment" not look like such an overpayment.

NO IT DOES NOT !!!! Andersen - two regular seasons worth (114 games started)

GAA = .233 SV % 9.18

twenty eight palyoff starts

GAA = 2.34 SV % .916

Yes on a good team, but leafs are goooood now as well .....Lehner = NYET!! NAAH!!!

So...2 in 30 years?

He traded the 9th overall pick for Schneider....didn't exactly find him.

I don't like giving up draft picks, but at least he's a battle tested starter.

They'll still draft a top goalie this summer. It just gives them lots of options. Andersson now, Sparks or Bibeau maybe 3 or 4 years down the road if they can pull it together, or the kid drafted this summer.

More options the better!
