Absolutely need to upgrade on Andersen. Our losses are mostly because of goaltending. In our 12 losses we only have 3 games where the goaltender has posted above a .900 SV%.

Winnipeg had at least a .900 SV% in 8 of their 12 losses. Hellebuyck has 7 of those. If we had that kind of goaltending in our bad games we probably only have two or three losses.
They won't make a goalie move till soup makes them

Moving Fred out and getting a good tender to fill his spot won't heppen if soup plays well/stays healthy
 
nope

i'll take a bonafide top 4 D man for the POs over a bloody winger and it's not even close
100%
We have our “superstars”, i imagine we will be able to get wingers to fill the roster as we go, even if it’s older cheap guys that just want to win

I am desperate to have a rock star defence though

that allows us to only need an average to good goalie and give attack time and more confidence to score

Defence is good, Brodie came in and helped and bogo also even though initially I got scared but I’m very curious to see how things go in this next season

we’re stuck In This until the tavares deal runs out

IMO Bogo at 1m has been a rock star and his game is PO style hockey

a PO 3rd pair of Ekholm/Bogo ,,,yes please,,,,lets see coach's with home ice advantage try and take advantage of that. Good luck.

Ekholm as my top 4 call up and Derm as 1rst out of the press box,,,yes,yes,yes

Ekholm as 1 of 4 PK D,,,yes please

What will he cost more or less if this is realistic target of making our team better

I’m over the keeping our young nice kids around
I just want to win so whatever that will take I’m in

Unfortunately, it would be very hard for Dubas to upgrade on Andersen even if he wanted to. Not many great upgrades up for grabs and nobody really wants him. Andersen is extremely close to many of the core players... so I don't think it would go over well.

If that is the case, then you 2018 Holtby him and hopes he responds the same way.

I'd think it starts in the

Liljegren + 2021 1rst to start the conversation

For a 50% retained Ekholm

And u would agree to that?
Well , we would have a 1.8m cap hit Ekholm all next season also,,,so ya , i do

and who knows,,,maybe we find a way to keep him after that

BUT it's a moot point if we don't get our tending figured out

i can wait till close to the TD to make a move on Ekholm

LTIR him and let him hang around as a minimum wage consultant if his teammates need him as a security blanket. Watching your good buddy screw the team over every night can't be much better than him moving away.

Even though I said I have no problem letting young guys go now in order to win I have a hard time letting them go before we see what they can do In The nhl... some of those moves can really come back and kick u In the jewels

Believe it or not, a player has to have an actual injury AND agree to sit out for that to be possible.

I highly doubt Andersen would agree to miss the rest of the season, in a contract year, with a team as good as this one.

Apparently his groin is injured enough that he's regressed to below Sparks level. How much money do you think he's earning per .780%? He would have gotten more money in FA if he sat out this year and seemed like he could be worth a gamble rather than confirming everyone's worst fears.

Yes,,yes they can,,,,,,,, BUT we would be getting

a solid top 4 D for,,,,,,,, 2 playoff runs at a 1.8m cap hit ,,,that's some honest value there.
 
No thanks. Liljegren is young, controllable, and will likely be a top 4 D in his own right.

Ekholm is good but if that's the price I pass.


if we would not have Ehkolm all next season with a 1.8m cap hit

i would agree with you but ,,but a PO//////Full season/////PO,,,,,,,,,,,, all at 1.8m cap hit ,,,is pretty damn valuable

I used Lilly because my gut tells me ,,they want a D back (sandin is untouchable) BUT

it is Nashville,,maybe offence is their want , then it's Amirov
 
Well,,if you think under 5.75m per is a discount ,that's fine

i say anything under 4.5m is a discount

? I didn't mention any numbers. I don't know what the discount number is... but its going to suck if we can't pay him whatever that number is.

Imo, he is more important to the core than Nylander, who I think is great btw. If we move out Kerfoot we might have enough but we'd be once again looking at min wage guys to fill in some spots.
 
I wonder if re-acquiring Bernier would be an option to tandem with Campbell and save some cap if Freddy goes the other way to save Detroit salary. He's played pretty well on some bad Red Wings teams.

As for his first time in Toronto, he posted a .922, .912 and .908 in front of some trash Leafs defense groups from 2013-2016.
 
Is it weird they're allowing them to visit in person? Wonder if they had to quarantine

They are just like media. Not apart of the bubble. Aren’t allowed lower than the upper bowl. So they go in a door, immediately up the stairs to the top, and into their respective area.

I believe they get rapid tested and temp checked before entry.

Interesting, I hadn't really thought much about the media, good point
