Back up Goalie

Rangers say no thanks

change it to a 2nd round pick and that's still a pretty big maybe-- johnsson goes down to a 30 point player on a team that's not the leafs, tampa, boston, etc.

If the Leafs give up that much for a backup goalie they're insane, I don't care what Rangers fans have to say. A top-6 forward for a guy who is going to play less than 25% of your games? Ridiculous.

Backup goalie is not this teams biggest issue. Until the team starts to play better consistently upgrading the 2nd goalie won't matter unless you clone Freddie.

Freddie is already 30 and as a NYR fan I would advise against extending him too long. By the time his deal is up he will be 32 (or almost 32). We've seen this with Hank and how his contract now is a burden given his decline in play. I think it's very interesting that Toronto fans are saying Andersson is playing horribly when he's having the best season of his career stats wise. They just went from an avg of 3.48 goals per game down to 3.22 this year (goals scored that is not goals against).

And just an FYI, NYR are a much worse team than Toronto and Georgievs stats are very similar to Anderssons (andersson has edge in GAA but Georgiev wins Sav%)

the way im looking at it is it will be a good transition player and maybe they could split games like halak and rask do. obviousaly he is a decent goalie and hes young. could be andersons replacement when his contract is up i cant see the leafs extending him due to his age and how much money he is gonna want.
