Cool, but, if you are good w the Murray trade. I don’t really see the big difference between the two. Murray coming off .899 % season & I gave up Kapanen +.
Well, there’s MANY “big differences” between the 2
While both are coming off what can be considered down seasons....
1- Murray has won a Cup, and played outstanding in another playoffs. Andersen hasn’t even won a series since he was with the Ducks, when he was 25. Which leads me to the next difference
2- Andersen is 5 years older than Murray. So while it’s reasonable to think both could bounce back, it’s entirely possible Andersen is starting his decline.
Either way, a 26 year old goalie is worth more than a 31year old
3- Murray is an RFA, so if a team believes in him, they can sign him to a long term deal, and relatively cheaply bc of this past “down season”
Idk that a team could even possibly consider Anderson a reasonable long term answer. He’s more of a hope he can get back to form for the last year of his deal, but then we’re still looking to get a younger “franchise” goalie even if he does type.
It just doesn’t seem even remotely likely that anyone would give up anything too significant for him.
Certainly not a 1st like the other guy here is suggesting.
That’s laughable even if he does have a great playoffs.
I think your trade of a decent pick or 2 & a decent prospect is the best u can hope for. And u might not even get that.
There’s a bunch of decent goalies that look available this offseason, so teams could just go that route for free instead
