I agree that keeping Ned over signing Fred made more sense. But I completely disagree with that second line -- Freddy never lost games in the playoffs, per say, but he seldomly won/stole a playoff game. In fact, he let in team deflating goals (e.g. Krug muffin goal in the opening minute of the 2nd period in game 7, Jake Debrusk).
He was so good during his first three seasons but he really hasn't stole a game since the Fall of 2019. I hope he regroups in Carolina.

Andersen wasn't even elite with the Ducks.
At his best he wouldn't lose games when his team was playing well, but he was never able to turn a bad team effort into a win.
Andersen and 'elite' shouldn't ever be in the same sentence. That dude was OVERRATED AS HELL and it always made me laugh when Freddy making good, but nothing special saves was enough for people to say he played 'great'.
I've watched all the seasons he's been a Leaf and he's been mostly average to mediocre with only brief periods of very good play. Seriously if Andersen was a Bruin all these years I'm pretty sure you'd view him much differently than you currently do.

Yep. f***ing Holtby 2.0: now with more injuries!
Gross. He shouldn't be being anything over 2.5 after his past couple years.

They were impressed by his performance against the Zamboni driver, I guess.
Wow, Ned at 3 millions >>>>>> Andersen at 4.5 millions.
C'mon now.

LOL they wouldn’t pay Ned 3M but are willing to pay a far worse goalie 4.5M?????
Idc what these taking heads say. Andersen is a bad goalie. He can’t stop anything high danger or on the PK. He’s going to sink Carolina.

There's a a chance he could still rebound. When this guy is on, he's as good as any goalie in the league.

Too much money but he is not a bad goalie. As someone else said he isn't likely to win games on his own but he also does not usually lose them on his own.

How’s the weather in 2017?
He’s been bad for two years. The injuries have piled up and his game has deteriorated.

IDK - Carolina's issue for like 5 years has been "no real #1 to take over." There are some on the market right now.
Carolina somehow walks away with none.

Previous cases of players that don't sign with the team that drafts them, re-enter the draft, and then a few years later they sign with the original team anyway?

Andersen definitely wouldn't have been my top choice - especially at that price point.
But I guess they're banking that a healthy Andersen can get back to his typically consistent .918 Sv% level. That's really all Carolina needs in goal.

I think this will be a great signing for the Canes.
My pick for bounce-back player of the year.

He will probably play better after getting away from cancer nation (sorry good leaf fans). 2 mid seasons injuries last 2 seasons, if Canes can keep him healthy he will bounce back. 2 years makes sense for both parties, not a huge risk
