Holy Goalie

Yes. The leafs have a backup goalie, a good one, for a lower cap hit than Bernier, and we don’t want him back to let in goals from centre ice.

So the leafs trade a good starter for a bad backup and detroit turns around and flips him for significantly more?
No poor logic there

A bad backup that posts .907 on a historically bad team? You also failed to mention the retention which would drive up the cost of Andersen. Not that I agree that Toronto should do this but your post lacks a ton of information so it fits your narrative.

907 is bad even as a backup on a bad team. Hes bad. And the retention is meaningless when your downgrading so hard

Again, you’re missing or ignoring several points to fit your narrative. Detroit wasn’t just bad but the worse team in the history of the salary cap era. Hronek was our only capable top 4 defensemen as DDK was injured. After our first line we have guys like Flippula, Nielsen, Helm, etc on the second line so yeah the other team are going to have a field day hence our goal differential. If you don’t understand that then I’m just talking to a wall.

Edit - just add some quantitative data if you filter last year based on minimum of 15 games played to get starters + backups he’s #34 based on SV %.
