Would have preferred more than a year. It's not like we have anyone knocking at the door prospect wise. Good value.
Sparks and Bibeau? Both could possibly be back-up goalies.

He was 11th in save percentage, if you exclude all goalies who played less than 5 games.
Pretty decent for a replacement level goalie, I'd say.
Hmm, I wonder how other LA backups looked when they played there:
2012-13: Bernier - .922%
2013-14: Jones - .934% / Scrivens - .931%
2014-15: Jones - .906%
2015-16: Enroth - .922%
He's nothing more than a decent backup that was sheltered behind a strong system. If he got a 1A/1B position (Like when he was in Buffalo in 2014-15), he'd barely be sporting a .900 SV%. No different than Fasth, Scrivens, Bernier, etc.
Now if you want to talk about best signing/contract with relation to skill, you'd be looking at Brian Campbell and his 1.5 mil caphit.
I like this I said at the start of the off season we couldn't afford to have Reimer and Bernier back that we needed an upgrde.
To go from Reimer and Bernier to Andersen and Enroth is a HUGE upgrade at both the starter and backup position I haven't been this confident in our goaltending since Belfour that's over a decade.
To get a backup the quality of Enroth for 750K is fantastic.
Bravo Lou, Bravo
It's a slight upgrade but more importantly they cost less $$ with a lower combined cap hit
I am hopeful but not ecstatic.
Goalies are a little like shoes -- you actually need to try them on to see how they fit. We've had a few that looked nice before we got them, but when we tried them on they didn't fit so well. I need to see if Andersen really is a capable #1 before I send up the balloons.
Here's hoping, though

I don't think Enroth is an upgrade in quality over Bernier
Decent signing for the Leafs. Enroth was one of the better backups available.
Makes me wonder why the Habs paid 200K more for Montoya.

You need to watch more western conference games if you did there would be no doubt
Really?
Andersen 26 125 GP 0.918
Reimer 28 215 GP 0.914
Bernier 28 213 GP 0.915
Enroth 28 147 GP 0.911
Until I see a goalie performing with a team, I don't think I'll assume any massive upgrade.
Bernier has been on a massive decline since his 1st season in Toronto you can post his numbers and try to make he and Andersen look lose all you want
Fact is anyone that has seen both guys play The past 2 seasons knows they aren't close.
They say numbers don't lie, Bernier's do they paint a picture of a solid goaltender when the reality is he is anything but that.
