Yes. He's cheaper than Mrazek. Full stop.

That said, a 1A, 1B situation would be ideal for the Leafs.
 
6-3-1 is his record in 11 games is very could considering our goalie situation.
Mrazek is 12-6. Its team recors.

I am very surprised to see how often i used to drop by and see freddy get bashed to see so many fans ok with bring back a guy with a sub .900 sv% and after his first 3 games an .870 or less in 6 of his next 8 with only 1 game above .885 in that stretch. Dudes literally been one of the worst goalies in the league and played like mrazek or worse outside his first 3 games. What am i missing.

Like im just legitimately confused.

You're right. The Leafs goaltending needs an overhaul in the summer.

I think people forget how bad Mrazek is on a night to night basis after he's been off with an injury for a few weeks.

That said, Andersen was trash in his last year too, that's why he lost his job and wasn't re-signed. I also notice the doors got beat off him last night vs Colorado, so maybe the Carolina Hurricanes are going to be in for a rude awakening when the playoffs start.
 
Kallgren is clearly not ready for a full-time backup gig. He’s got more wins than losses only because he’s on the Leafs who usually outscore their problems.

If he even plays. Looks like his bubble has burst.

  • Maple Leafs' Ian Scott: Unavailable for AHL Toronto​

    Rotowire MAR 31, 2022
    Scott (undisclosed) is not playing with AHL Toronto currently, Kevin McGran of The Toronto Star reports.
    Scott missed the first three months of the season with an injury as well, and it appears he has suffered another one. The Maple Leafs' organizational goaltending depth is being tested with Jack Campbell (ribs) and Petr Mrazek (groin) unavailable at the NHL level.
I hope they release him in the off seasons so useless

Scott is definitely done with the organization after this year. Complete waste of a roster spot which is a shame cause the kid had a lot of potential.

He had a great start in junior soon as he hit pro his body seems to have fallen apart.
 
It’s not even certain that Jack Campbell is going to be back next season, even still, I don’t feel that he’s good enough to be a starting goaltender that can play 60 games and offer a complete reliability. For the past four months his save percentage has been sub .900% Just like Petr Mrazek and Kallgren.

It’s not even next season that concerns me, it’s this postseason that really has me worried due to their questionable goaltending.
.931 last night. :) He's peaking just in time. If he gets hot and confident.........

we'll see what Campbell does here, but it wouldn't shock me if the Leafs had to go back to scratch with the goalies.

Campbell is okay but he is too noisy in the net. overplays and is out of position too much. Can this be fixed by coaching? maybe but it doesn't look like he's being coached in a quieter direction right now.
 
Yes. He's cheaper than Mrazek. Full stop.

That's not the reason to make him the backup

I know he's 6-3-1 but that's because he plays behind the #2 offense in the game

he's got a GAA over 3 and a save% of 895

that's not backup numbers that's AHL at best

Thus my note about "1A, 1B being the ideal setup".
 
I've said it before this team needs to burn their goaltending to the ground and do it all over again.

Literally ALL of it I'm not just talking about the NHL level

I'm talking NHL, AHL, ECHL all of it

even if they won a cup, they would have to do it on the back of the offense because for the last 5 months almost, they have needed a minimum of 4 goals to win on a near nightly basis and you can't expect them to score 4, 5,6, 7 every night

come playoff time you are going to have to win a 2-1 or 3-2 game and I don't think Campbell can do that he hasn't shown that in months, not against a top team I can count the amount of good starts our goaltending has had since December on 1 hand.

Campbell might be able to stay as the backup but even that is questionable at this point he's probably not taking the money he's worth.

this team can score at will find somebody that can give them a save
 
I might slot a Husso UFA add as a higher impact move than re-signing Campbell.
What do think the chances are that he's even available? Do the Blues sign him and trade Binnington? The dude is legit but at what cost?🤔
