Which goalie should we go after ?

[AvroArrow]

Based on the goaltenders in the market who should we go after ? Are we better off keeping Freddy til the end of the year or making a move now ? I personally believe if we want to be a contender, we make some sort of deal now. The group is playing well enough to contend if we had a competent goalie in net. Campbell may be that guy, but it's clear Freddy definitely isn't that guy. Who should we pursue and why ?

Bernier... is like that ex g.f that toned up, lost some weight and is starting to look pretty good, right after you just finished getting into an argument with your current girlfriend.

Just saying.

 

[Dave92]

Lehner, please. He's another head case but much less of a sulky p***y.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Literally any one of them. Whoever will be the cheapest in a trade I suppose. It’s hard to do worse than what we’ve currently got.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Where’s the option for all/any of the above?

 

[CapspaceKiller]

there's 25-30 goaltenders better than Freddy at this point, just pick one of them

 

[AvroArrow]

I like Dubnyk for THIS year, but going forward out of that group Gibson may be the best chance for long term. He's been awful the last couple years, but he's only 27. If the price is right he might be worth a shot. Voted Dubnyk though, he's older but has been playing better recently, not really much risk with his contract either.

I clicked on Korpisalo but then saw Gibson.

If you trust that Gibson is just a victim of circumstances on a bad Anaheim team, I would think very hard about taking the all-in futures package and saving it for the goalie changing position. Fred will be gone and we can transition to a starter in his mid 20s with a great pedigree and track record.

Keep Andersen. Give him a raise. $8M @ 5 years. Lock him up.


But seriously, if there was an option In this Poll for the Zamboni driver, I would pick him over Andersen.

 

[Eric Bungay]

I don't think it will matter cause no team will give any assets up for Andy and we will probably have to take a bad contract back ... so just stick with him till the end of this season and after the draft play the landscape see whats out there an for what price !!!

 

[Carltons Cup]

I didn't see Garrett Sparks on that list?

What team has acquired a starting goalie before the deadline and gone on to do damage in the playoffs?

 

[MattySnipes]

any of the above.

Any.

Really.

Any goalie.

 

[AvroArrow]

What team has acquired a starting goalie before the deadline and gone on to do damage in the playoffs?

Colorado Avalanche, and no I'm not comparing any of the goalies available to Roy

 

[Joey Hoser]

What's your point? That sticking with our shitty goaltending is better than improving it?

 

[MC41]

Compared to Andersen, every Goalie will be like Roy.

 

[Morgs]

Lol, every one of those goalies except Lehner have been significantly worse than Andersen the last few seasons or are unlikely to be able to handle a starting position.

I get itd be nice to grab a goalie, but its so unlikely mid-season to get one that's an improvement. Gotta hope Campbell can take over or Fred can bounce back.

 

[Morgs]

Worst GSAx over the last two seasons:

 

[wingman75]

Assuming you mean in the off-season? Cause unless a miracle happens it aint happening this season.

I picked other, because I don't feel any of those guys are truly better than what we have and none of them have ever won anything.

[Bloomberg]

Is it too late to sign a random goalie from Europe?

 

[Morgs]

I do like that Korpisalo is winning and has a reputation as a good goalie because of the playoffs against us.

The guy is a bad goalie.

Pyotr Kochetkov - from Carolina

I would be shocked to the point of near-permanent speechlessness if Dubas dealt for a starter before the deadline. A .650-ish winning percentage team replacing it's non-(seriously)injured/non-disgruntled/non-trade-demanding starter mid-season? Plus, Andersen would have to be dealt to free up the cap space (and because, well, he probably wouldn't be a lot of fun to have around after the GM took his starter role away).

If it did happen, once I recovered enough to see the news, I wouldn't be disappointed to see Korpisalo heading to Toronto for a 14-day quarantine. But with the Jackets hanging around he may not be available in the short-term or at all.

Gibson? One can dream, but that's a post-season move as the Ducks would want an impact player in return. A GM would have to have stones of stone to make that move, again, mid-season.

Linus Ulmark (ufa this summer), pretty good underated goalie in a very bad team . A1/A2 with campbell.
