Omg is your cousin Jacob Markstrom?

I think he is Markstrom, dudes been signing him for months now

No why?

Because hes a top 5 goalie in the nhl and freddie **** the bed last season

exactly what the other guy @Boomer125 said
Markstrom had 1 year where he was better. Which is this year

Pretty good tbh. Lehtonen and Barabanov both get bottom line spots but it's good otherwise.

Also they will more likely get a younger goalie like Jarry to replace Anderson.

Ok. Freddie also expires next year and his next contract will be horrible so he will end up walking. Did you take a look at who is on the goalie market next offseason? Theres no one of Markstrom let's caliber. Their opinions are to keep Freddie and downgrade the season after, resign freddie to a horrible contract or upgrade at the goalie position and get assets for Freddie. They could make a trade for one but that seems very unlikely based off the current goalie market

Binnington

You realize that Markstrom is 1 year younger than Andersen right? I took a look at next seasons goalie market and I see Binnington.
Also, this is a bad idea. By the time we find a team that Andersen waives to and a team that wants him, Markstrom will be gone.
Way rather just keep Freddie. Had one bad season because he had one of the worst defense ever. The defense was injured half the season

Who will probably cost more and isnt close to as good

I'll take the guy who has actually played playoff hockey, won at playoff hockey over the flavour of the week all day any day

Binnington isnt that good. I have absolutely no idea where you got this idea that the leafs have to trade Freddie before they move Markstrom lol. The leafs defense wasnt close to being the worst ever. It was better then previous seasons and he still played like ****. He cost them 8 points this season, that puts them 1 point behind tampa. He had one month (November) where he had a .938 sv% and his next highest month was a .904 .

You would rather have a weaker goalie because he played on a good team? Lmfao

Mark career #'s below (spoiler - they are meh!)...

Hardly showing "top-5" in anything G-Man in the NHL-related...

If you look at team stats sure he dowsnt look good. How about you take a look at his individual stats and get back to me. It's not 2005 anymore, wins, losses and GAA means absolutely nothing

So Andersen had 4 bad months (Which was where the leafs injury ocean hurricane started) so we should trade him????
Why not trade Tavares because he has had a bad season?

Those are his indiv. goalie numbers...
(source NHL.com/Jacob Mark. player page).

How about how about goals saved above expected? Goals saved above average? Expected save percentage vs actual save percentage?

All the stats you listed and the ones on nhl.com dont mean that much and are extremely lazy

Tavares didnt have that bad of a season. Freddie was horrible 4 out of 5 months. He was even bad when the leafs started to get healthy again. Based off his workload and age, betting on him long term is a horrible idea

In February the leafs were the 10th or 11th best team in the league defensively. Guess what Freddie's sv% was. It was .884

That's atrocious

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

No one said sign him to a 7 x 5, just no point in moving him for a mediocre return just to sign Markstrom who has 1 good season that's it just 1 good season (Also both Freddie and Markstrom are 30)

Are you admitting you're wrong?

Freddie is almost 31, Markstrom just turned 30.

Freddie will want a big contract based off what hes done in his career and at his age hes only declining. His work load and injury history means hes pretty much a ticking time bomb. Markstrom hasn't played that much in his career so his body wont decline very rapidly and hes so strong mentally that he will will fall off later in his career.
