Have another beer Steve. Andersen needs to go. A proven loser.
Anyone remember when Tie was offered his first million dollar contract? It was recorded. And if you can find it WATCH IT. This is how hockey players should be after being offered a life changing amount of money to do something most of us Canadians would do for free. Love of Canadas game.
What a mess. Leafs need to pinch pennies on a goalie too cuz the big 4 are eating up all the cash. Instead of worrying about hiw good anyone is going to be why not just demand Matthews, Marner, Tavares and Nylander score more in the playoffs?? They make enough money where that isnt an unreasonable ask.
The leafs, regardless, have to spend $$ on their goalie. It’s fact. Steve is right.
Curtis McElhinney is now a Stanley Cup Champion
Crosby says Pittsburg Players took discounts in order to build a full team. Let's start a campaign to ask Travers, Marner and Matthews to to give back some of the money they extorted from the Leafs.
He won't stay because we're vultures and threw him under the bus.
He's not perfect.
But he's not the problem.
The leafs players love signing team friendly deals to stay competitive so I don't see why not….. Oh wait…..
Whatever Markstrom gets I think will set what Freddy will get next year
6.5 for 4 i'd do that
Freddy is not the problem.
Why should he ? Lol.. none of the rest did.
Throwing out wrong stats guys ..freddy been in T.O for 4 years ..his save percentage 1st year 917..the next 2 years 918..this is the only year it wasn't great
Mr Dangle…
Korpisalo had a 1.15 and a .911 which beat Anderson's. Toronto you gave HALF your salary away to 4 players. What right do you have in calling any other team's GM poorly run? No joke.
Some hockey fans dont have a clue this guy is unreal
Pay the guy he's the goalie guys don't screw it up every goalie in the market ain't better then Andy make it work u have a year to do so
bobrovski is a huge waste of money considering the amount of cheap quality goalies in the free agent market.
U/guys said Domi for Laine… i say Weber plus picks for Laine.
maybe 6.5 x2
I'm honestly happy with how the Covid situation had affected cap, because as Steve said, contracts were getting out of control.
I'd give him a raise to re-sign him. With Freddie, you at least know what you are getting. If you go pull a Florida and sign a top end goalie to a high value UFA contract, you have no idea if they are going to do well in front of a new crowd with a new system. Frederik Anderson is a good goalie. He is not a superstar. There are probably only a handful of goalies in this league worth any more than 7 or 8 million, and he is not one of them.
The Leafs didn't make the Playoffs!
THE LEAF'S DIDN'T MAKE THE PLAYOFFS!!
Amazing how you guys are CRAPPING on Andersen and totally ignore that the defensive has problems. Not even VASILEVSKIY can save this team as is.
Trade Andersen now…sign Greiss for 2.2m…and run the 1A-1B goalie tandem with Campbell…your saving cap space for more priority…ugh.ugh..defense?…and away we go!!
Doubtful
I would only want him to stay as a 1B backup too, because he’s not dependable or consistent enough. He doesn’t have great seasons, and often lets bad goals in in the playoffs. It was almost one per game this year, and he wasn’t great against Boston in that respect either.
I like Freddie and Feel the leafs have left him high and dry all these years with no real defensive support/structure. He’s given the leafs great numbers but imagine what his numbers would have been with a much better defence in front of him . Gotta think he’s had enough of the same old in Toronto.
Well here is the thing , the convo will go like this , hey Kyle I would like to say and sign a team friendly deal … Freddy say no more you’re asking for 5 mil , I’ll give you 7.5 … that’s the best I can do
I'm with Dangle on this one. If Andersen would accept a 2 year deal at around $6.25 million, I'd sign him up as soon as possible. But, if Freddy plays at least on par with his pre January 2020 self, he will be able to get an easy $8 million on the open market.
Move on. Jesus Christ
Honestly I’m not a Freddie Fan
Matthews, Marner and Taveres' contracts kind of killed any possibility of "team friendly deals" for the next 3-4 years. These need to be part of the long team culture, and also the team actually has to be good/a legitimate cup contender
Freddy Andersen is not a playoff goalie and freddy has to go and Dubas has to recognize that.
Trade freddy Andersen and Dangle for a late first rounder.
Steve, I don't think he's taking the deal. I would love to see him take. I think Freddy is going to want to cash out, he is getting old.. Who knows how durable he will remain to be. That is the only reason I believe he'll take a larger sum from another club. Possibly longer term too, to secure his future. Hopefully we can do something though I really don't want him walking for nothing like a Sundin 🙁
Jack Campbell > Freddie
Did Marner or Matthews take a team friendly deal? The youngens? Nope. Tavares contract was abit over paid too but at least he had a few years to back his salary up from NY. If it wasn"t for Anderson Leafs would've been a 500 team.
Freddie is the one who played his ass off every game. He should go to a team that is a contender for less than he is making now. He deserves to be on a team that plays as hard as he does.
Lmao no. Don't insult the dude. Anderson bounces. He's in the same class as Vasi and Murray. Just needs a good team to assist him. Leafs can't match players.
play woll. we need one more tank year for D then we are set for a decade.
Given Lehner's new contract Freddie isn't likely to even get a raise
Freddie had a down year and you'd give him a raise
The overpaid big 4 should take a cut to help the team
no, this is his last year in Toronto for sure
Henrik lundqvist ? Is he available?
