Quoting: C21
The main concern with Ned is sample size
Freddie hasn't been good in 2 years, Raanta is the better, more injury prone tender
Toronto has a really good D core and if Freddie is a dark horse Vezina candidate, Campbell is right there with Vasy
The canes D is still damn good but won't be as good as last year
This Canes D core is arguably better than last year. People are overvaluing the loss of Dougie. Yeah, you lose a great defenseman, sure. But TDA isn't a slouch. Both are defensive traffic cones and Cole is better than Gardiner, and if you want to tell me Bear isn't better than Hakanpaa or Haydn Fleury, you're on something. It's 100% deeper, and if TDA keeps his nose clean and plays up to his talent level, this D core is better than last year.
Freddie put up a .918 in his first two seasons in Toronto, and then .917. In the two shortened seasons, his numbers came down, because his first month of the season is always horrible. After that, he plays lights out, that's known by most Toronto fans, Ducks fans will vouch too. Raanta has the talent to step in when Freddie isn't playing well and run with it. Also, let's not act like Raanta hasn't shown he can lpay the starters role if needs be. If both goaltenders stay out of the treatment room, this is a very good tandem, and Freddie REALLY is a dark horse Vezina candidate.
