Don’t insult LeBrun like that.

 

[Budz]

Good luck Freddy. Nice guy.

That Five hole though - woof.

 

[BruinsBtn]

Great pickup if true. That team desperately needed goaltending and Andersen is elite (despite what the Toronto media say).Under $6m is a steal.

 

[Doctor No]

Finally signed, only eleven years after drafting him!

 

[Jmo89]

Wonder if they got him on the cheap. He is likely better than his last year in Toronto. I'm happy to see him go though. Won't be surprised if he bounces back.

 

[ottomaddox]

wow

how much money?

Andersen was one of the worst goalies in the league last year lol.

Freddy five-hole gone.. thanks for your efforts and good luck with CAR.

Oh, and watch out for TDA's right hand.. heard he can go off on goalies after a bad night.

 

[Captain Mountain]

He's a good goalie, it'll be interesting to see what the AAV and term are.

Not sure he's the guy to get you over the hump in the playoffs though.

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

So...trade for Bernier's rights.

Sign a goalie that wasn't as good as Bernier.

Carolina is f***ing up this offseason.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

In a perfect world Andersen signs with carolina, and eliminates toronto in the playoffs by a huge goalie performance.

 

[Dog]

With Canes defense he should do well but playoffs who knows?

 

[Advanced stats]

Not a good goalie for the pressure cooker that is Toronto.

Great for the "small games", mediocre for the big games.

Nice guy though, and wish him well

The Media loved him.

it was the fans who did not

 

[Tairy Greene]

I'm guessing this would mean Mrazek is available? I would prefer him for Toronto over Freddy if healthy

 

[King In The North]

This is such a weird offseason for Carolina.

 

[Puckstop40]

The clutch goaltending Carolina needs

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

The dollar amount is important to know if this is a good deal

 

[93gilmour93]

Andersen will do well in Carolina. Good luck Freddy.....

 

[Michoulicious]

HAHAHA.

"Proven playoffs performer" instead of Ned. Wtf.

You essentially just shouted from the rooftop that you have zero idea of what you’re talking about, lmao.

FYI he literally just had the worst GSAA in the league and was getting beat by floaters from the point. Hot and cold goaltender who has been more cold than hot the last couple seasons.

That's if he can regain his form from 2 seasons ago. He's a gamble at this point because he was honestly pretty bad for the last 2 seasons. He was also a guy that typically needed a month to heat up so I'm not sure he would be good as a tandem.

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

How good is he at punching his blue liners in the face?

 

[WhiteTrashAmerican]

Seems ok as a Canes fan. Wish he stuck around back in the day....those 2010-2018 days were reallllll rough for Canes goalies.
