Need to happen. Last year team so soft, desperate for broken back player for grit. My 8 year old nephew can beat up half team.
Andersen not only played awful last year, but he certainly didn’t seem to care either. His attitude stunk, and riding the pine watching Campbell play Montreal in the first round (which was the right call based on their performance) was a virtual garauntee he wasn’t going to re-sign here.
He was injure. And any with sense know he's better than Campbell so even if andersen suck should go with best of worse for better chance. Goalie problem is his fault more evidence he can't build a team.
Ah yes his mystery injury that no one could seem to either detail or give a timeline for as clearly shown in the All or Nothing series. He did have an injury; it’s called bruised ego. From the outside looking in, it seems like once Campbell had won the net from him he basically just packed up his stuff and went home; quit on the team. Campbell outplayed him last year handily despite battling multiple injuries himself.
Sound like you have issue with last season. This nothing to do with current problem or bad decision made through gm. You don't destroy team for spite reasons like yours. Andersen was is and will always be more better. Carolina is not make believe. Just like he said holl is more logistic to keep because no options there, there is no good options for no.1 so no reason to abandon andersen.
You are completely incorrect and have been this entire season. The goaltending is horrible and the defense is very poor as well. Thats not even mentioning how lackluster our second line has been for months and how soft most of the players on this team are. We have an amazing top line and a very good 3rd line, every other place on this team has holes, are soft, or are downright terrible like our goaltending. Stop being an apologist.
In theory your right, but before Muzz got hurt he was playing terribly. I hope it all works out but I'm done believing in this team because all they do is collapse. We have a great first line and good 3rd line and Reilly and Brodie together are a solid first pair but beyond that the team isn't very good right now.
Yup he was dog shit the majority of his final two full years here and full on quit on the team in the Covid season.
Goalies no.1 reason we struggling.
Ah yes, the one line team with garbage D who’s 6th? 7th league wide? Right…. It’s like some of you don’t watch any hockey aside from the leafs… Defence makes mistakes, literally the name of that game is mitigating mistakes and we’re middle of the pack at worst with regards to that, which is fine considering the other strengths on the team. Our black hole of a second line while admittedly has not been looking good as of recent has two guys hovering around ppg. The critical weakness on this team is goaltending, they can’t buy a routine save. Get league avg goaltending and Muzzin back in form and this is a contender.
They didn’t just bet on a “back up” they also brought in a guy with a decade of track record as a platoon starter for a playoff team. Unfortunately both have had issues this year. To me it’s more so how they react to this issue not so much that it popped up
Getting Kerfoot and end around way ending up with Brodie is fine return for a Kadri trade.
Why do people put Brodie in the same sentence as the Kadri deal? I never understood that. It’s like we’re trying to make the trade seem better. Brodie was a UFA signing the following year after the Kadri-Kerfoot trade. It’s not because we got rid of Kadri we signed Brodie. Whether we still had Kadri or not, Brodie would have been a target for Dubas in free agency.
Because they wanted Brodie and Kadri denied the trade to Calgary and instead of resigning Barrie they scooped up Brodie with the cap allotment. It’s pretty straight forward
Yeah, Kadri is useless in the playoffs for obvious reasons. Kerfoot was totally useless against the more physical teams out west.
