I'm not totally sold on Andersen's upside, but the floor looks to be pretty high as well. Should at least be a 5 year stopgap to develop a star goalie, and that's probably the timeframe it's going to take the leafs to get to contention level anyway. Seems like a lot to give up, but Anaheim fans seem pretty sold on the guy so I think him playing in the southwest US also limits his exposure/hype a bit

I always thought Bernier played well there, just stuck behind a god awful blue line, was he really that bad?
He was terrible. I still feel like he can turn it around he's relatively young but yes he really was that bad

he was bad last year, before that his numbers and the eye test were passable, probably could be a starter on a good team. He looks disinterested at times and lets in softies and I think Babcock views that as infectious so he was toast as soon as we hired Babcock
If he were bigger I think he could be elite - good positioning and great rebound control, but doesn't get away with as much as someone with a bigger frame would in terms of cutting off angles

Because this proposal was clearly made by a Carolina fan, as are the majority of awful proposals involving the canes.
Great post.

I'm not sure I even remember the last time I saw a proposal on here that was actually from a Carolina fan. Our forum spends too much time mocking the Trade Board to actually participate in it.

to be fair, the OP doesn't have anything on their avatar that identifies their allegiance and I wasn't a fan of the trade from a leaf perspective.
that being said, the post was negative for no reason and flamed a whole fanbase without adding anything of value

A) Open mouth B) Insert foot.You actually got it wrong on 2 counts. First, it wasn't a Canes fan that proposed this and secondly, Canes fans rarely start threads on the main board.

On the flip side, given that his username is "Londonkendrick" and in the OP he had Aho going to the Leafs and said: "Aho is a pure stud, this is a motivated by pure jealously", it wasn't that hard to deduce that he is a Leaf's fan.
And if he/she was going to make a negative flaming post like that, they should at least do a little work to make sure they have their facts straight.

Terrible deal for both teams. it makes no sense for either team to make this trade.
You can argue on who is the better goaltender but I think both teams are satisfied with their situation between the pipes and neither is a major upgrade over the other.
The only way the Leafs will trade one of their high valued prospects would be for an established D about to enter his prime. If not they will go with the next phase of their rebuilt. Same with Carolina but for a foward.
The only deal that makes sense here is Carolina that sends a D to Toronto for a F. Im sure Leafs would have interest in Faulk or Hanifin but the price for either of these players are probably something that Leafs Nation is not willing to pay at the time being.

Except he makes no sense for us, much like your proposal. We need our starter, and as good as Aho is we are pretty deep at forward. We need D at the expense of surplus forwards and forward prospects, not by trading our starter

You speak for all of us? Ok....
Leafs getting a potential 1C to play behind Matthews, Nylander can play the wing where his offense has a higher ceiling and the Leafs double down on the rebuild by tanking for either Liljegren or a high draft they can flip into the solution on D.
Or.... Andersen maybe busts and is an anchor deal or he plays well and the Leafs are back to being mediocre bad, so move but miss the playoffs for 3 years or so, draft around 10 tenth, spin their wheels...
I'll take Aho who will matter more than Andersen by the time the Leafs are good and better draft picks in the meantime.
