*above average and he’s still doing it in Carolina to this day. I think it’s safe to say he is the real deal, yes.If “real deal” means providing average goaltending for a period of 2-3 years then there is a long list of goalies that are the “real deal”. I can see why a Leafs fan would consider that the real deal based on what they have had to experience and playoff success over many years.
He’s very good, especially as a backup on a Cup winning team, but biggest steal? Long way to go for that still.Biggest steal of the 2024 Free agency
I don't understand the point of this post? Reimer, Andersen, Campbell were the "real deal" while in Toronto. Woll also appears to be good in limited action.
He's a good backup goalie. If that's the real deal,then yes.
