Thread: Saw leafs trade stabilizing goaltending
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheDime99</b></div><div>Do you not see the problem with this trade. Bringing in another starter goalie is just gonna screw over Shesterkin. He has earned the right to be the clear cut number 1 but when you bring in Andersen it makes it look like the organization has no faith in our new starter and Lundqvist showed in the playoffs that as long as the defense isn't dumb he can still be a good back up</div></div>

I saw this elsewhere. My thoughts on this is simply put if AG is gone, fine but NYR have several goalies in the pipeline who are not ready. Andersen has 1 year on his deal. He won’t be re-signed and maybe plays say 20 games before TDL and is traded to a contender, and whomever the starter is in HFD can play as Igor backup for the final 25-30 games starting 5-7? Maybe Wall or Huska.

Thread: Tougher to play against-JD
Here’s the thing, Bennet is having a nice playoff but is this him maturing and getting better in the league, or is this due to long layoffs with the whole league? It’s kind of hard to throw a 12 pt player in 54 games to a 2C role the following season. Absolutely nothing against a Craig Smith signing, but having both Smith and Fast totally buries Kravtsov. Can’t do that. Even if Kravtsov plays 3/4 line he needs to play this season. I think it’s either Smith or Fast and let Kravtsov be the other RW. I do assume the idea is that Seattle would take one of those 2 in expansion draft but he needs to develop here not Hartford at least not a full season there. Part of why he went back to Russia. Can’t have that again as he’d never come back at that point.
