Can you imagine this board if we signed Grubauer for 6m. Ha, might as well have kept Andy at 4.5 if that were the case.

What part is nonsense. I literally call him prime Fred and non-prime Fred in here. Probably misread what I'm saying.

I don't think the goaltending situation is ideal. Campbell and Mrazek have both shown capability, but the probability that they provide consistent elite goaltending is not that great based on past performance.
Mrazek though might be an upgrade on what Andersen has provided the Leafs for about the last two years.

Maple Leafs sign 'excited' Petr Mrazek, trio of value forwards in free agency - Sportsnet.ca
TORONTO -- The Toronto Maple Leafs wasted no time filling their No. 1 need in free agency Wednesday.
The club has agreed to a three-year contract with UFA Petr Mrazek, who walks from the Carolina Hurricanes for a new deal worth $3.8 million annually.
"It was an easy choice," Mrazek said. “It’s every single night you’re on the radar. I’m excited.”
Former Maple Leaf Frederik Andersen has signed with the Hurricanes for two years and $9 million, completing a UFA goalie swap. Carolina also agreed to a deal with UFA Antti Raanta, forming a completely new tandem.
“We need to find a competent partner for Jack Campbell and let them battle it out. Obviously, Jack had a great season. We have a lot of belief in Jack and look forward to him continuing to take steps next year. But we need to address that,” Toronto general manager Kyle Dubas said last week.
“It is making sure we are bolstered on that end to set the goalies up for success.”
Mrazek, 29, is well accustomed to playing in a 1A/1B tandem and is set to enter the season with more security, experience and bigger paycheques than Campbell, whose $1.65-million contract ends in 2022.
Mrazek posted a 6-2-3 record with three shutouts and a .923 save percentage for the Hurricanes in an injury-plagued 2020-21.
He underwent surgery on his right thumb in February and returned in April.
The Czech goaltender admitted some anxiety entering the goalie carousel but is encouraged by the prospects of contributing to a high-scoring squad.
"Hopefully get as many wins as I can, to get better every day. I think the last three seasons I established myself in a position that I finally learned how important games," said Mrazek, who has already texted his girlfriend for advice on a new sweater number (34 is reserved).
"Always when you play Toronto, the fans are great."

We already have Reilly's 5M and Kessel's 1.2M available before we even look elsewhere.
How much would you spend on Reilly?
You dont waste 3.8 million on insurance, not hard to figure out.
Theres always going to be goalies like this available somewhere, so you get campbell a 1b see if he earns his spot and if not you acquire this guy at the deadline.
I dont care what you think of my username, we dont have a competent 3rd line or top 6 left wing. You cant just plug in robertson and bunting and be a competitive team after losing hyman.

Kessel's 1.2 million will be used for Liljegren and Sandin both are RFAs next season

There's one guy in the league that provides consistent elite goaltending and he costs 9.5 mil.

We played without him for long stretches every one of the last few years. How we play without him is not a mystery, we've seen a lot of it. There's no big drop off.

Hes done a terrible job, he overpays players and hasnt gotten any further than lou who was at the start of a rebuild facing stiffer competition.
"But montreal went to the cup finals and injuries" the leafs were still winning games with the injuries and losing to teams like them and columbus isnt acceptable. Hopefully this year goes fast so he can be the worlds greatest scout somewhere.

And they win without matthews in the lineup either, when you cant get out of the first round moneyballing glorified 3rd liners into first line roles isnt the way to build a team.

You don’t just get to remove his bad years and keep his good ones. Remove his best season and what are his stats.
In most years in Carolina he was out performed by James Reimer who just signed for less with less term.
Yes we needed a goalie and we got one but that is a damn low bar to hit. We paid too much for too long on a below average goalie who’s numbers were inflated behind one of the best D cores in the league.
And reimer wouldve been a great choice, but big brain kyle saw some analytics and decided to throw the bag at him.
At some point youd think shanahan or someone higher up would step in and stop this guy, but nope now we have 3.8 in a 1b goalie. Pumped.

He's done a terrific job. He sets his team up well and solves issues. No he isn't the worst GM in history.

And what if Campbell struggles? You would be complaining that Dubas had no insurance. Facts not narratives.

It's not about removing it, it's to provide context. Context matters. Awful years happen and he had an awful year 4 years ago. When you deep dive the numbers, Mrazek is among the average among the starters... so this is really not a huge deal

The analytics comment is you pushing a narrative. Keep throwing nicknames, it makes you look desparate.
