Frederik Andersen

[princedpw]

Holtby's next contract (UFA next summer) will probably set the market there. Pretty similar goalies:

-Both 29 years old
-Both coming off similar 5-year deals (Andersen's AAV was $5mil, Holtby's $6.1mil)
-Both play on high-offensive teams
-Similar-ish win totals and save percentage the last few years, although Holtby's numbers the past 2 seasons are a little under his career norms
-Neither's save percentage is really in the "elite" category
-Holtby has a Vezina trophy and a Stanley Cup, Andersen (to date) does not

Honestly, I'd have a hard time projecting him over $7mil right now. Especially considering he'll be 31 (edit: his birthday is Oct. 2nd, so he'll be 32 years old when his next deal starts) and goalies are weird.

But of course a lot can happen in the next 2 years, and his performance in that time will be what mostly decides his new deal.

Let's hope he wins a Stanley Cup in the next 2 years and we are forced into a massive overpay for his unsustainable 2-year explosion.

Nah Dubas is ruthless. He's give him his ring and then trade his rights for a 6th before becoming an UFA.

High standard of play + tons of rubber + injury resistant = Frederik Andersen. Fastest Euro goalie ever to 200 wins.
