Toronto's 2017 1st for patience would be a good trade.
It has been a whopping six games. Andersen has a horrible D core in front of him. The team is young. Did anyone expect a Vezina type of season from him?
Andersen in Anaheim had defensemen to work with, as well as a good back-up. Why would Andersen had changed that drastically during one offseason?
I think Dangle actually said it well in a recent video if his. If a team is consistently letting a ton of goals in, maybe there's something else to it than just a goalie, who just happened to finish his last season in Anaheim with almost .920 SV%.
Acquiring Andersen was the right thing to do. Now it's just a matter of time and other moves when the team in front of him can offer any support to him.

i would trade nothing for him, as he is not needed.
although i would expect TML would need a goalie back, enroth is not the answer

I love how Rielly/Gardiner/Zaitsev/Carrick get so much hype in other threads, then when it comes to threads about Andersen the excuse to why he has been brutal is because of the defence.

I think it's the actual goaltending system that's affecting Andersen the most. I don't watch Leaf games regularly, but I heard he's being much more aggressive, which he never was in Anaheim aside from going out to play the puck behind the net.

Rielly and Zaitsev are the only good ones, whoever hyped up Carrick is a joke and doesn't watch games.
Gardiner is alright.
That's 3/6 D that are actually decent. When half your D squad sucks, you can blame the D

Here's a pretty good article as to why this guy think's Andersen is struggling.
http://theleafsnation.com/2016/10/2...et-frederik-andersen-out-of-the-net-right-now
Short version:
He believes Andersen is playing through pain in his shoulder, and it's easier for Andersen to cut off the angle on high shots playing more aggressive.

I agree, that makes little sense. The shortcomings especially of Gardiner compared to his valuation seem way too evident. The Tampa game was a rather perfect example. Who cares whether he helps create a couple medium quality shots when his missed assignment / adventurous defensive positioning results in a near-certain goal against...?

If this is serious you clearly don't watch games. He's been better than Gardiner at what Gardiner does best

Rielly has looked pretty bad defensively this year in the two games I watched. Is that just me being wrong / an outlier, or has he struggled in his own end? Just from what I've seen, it looks like the Leafs need a top shutdown defender to stabilize the entire back end.

Regardless of what the reason is for Andersen's struggles, his contract is pure poison at the moment. Until he starts playing as well as he used to despite the challenges, he'll go the way of every Leaf goalie since CuJo, probably.

I agree with everyone here....6 games under a new coach....with a new system....on a new team....a team that is rebuilding....that's clearly enough of a sample size to crucify Andersen. I will grab the pitch forks!! Come on everybody!!!

Enjoy your freedom, you wintertimer.

If you ever decide to watch you'll see a collective team failure defensively. It'll get sorted out once they develop chemistry and gain experience.
he forgot a team with no defensive presence
They just kind of skate around and watch the other team
