[Kin]

I'm fairly Mhappy with this Msigning.

 

[L K]

Yeah, that's something I can get on board with.

 

[herman]

Just one little thing I ask: no more crazy diving out to the faceoff dot to chase loose pucks.

Health is a concern, but otherwise - don't hate it!

Agreed. He's been pretty good when healthy.

 

[Bender]

I had a feeling he'd be signing here for whatever reason. I'm happy with this but he seems inconsistent year to year. I guess we're betting on he & Jack to give us good value as a 1A and 1B tandem.

Wonder if this is why the Leafs were connected to Martin Jones. He'd be a nice guy to have on the Marlies in this case. If nobody offers him a back-up position (which given his numbers over the past 3 years wouldn't be that surprising) maybe he'd take a 1-year deal here to get his game back with the Marlies (and any potential call-ups).

I like this signing.  He can be a pretty good goalie.

Not sold on Campbell being a starter carrying the load, so I'm comfortable with Mrazek getting the bulk of the load with Campbell coming in for his fair share of starts.

I mentioned that yesterday about getting Jones as a 3rd on the cheap. I think Mrazek is a good fit for the Leafs.

Mrazek's not really a guy you want getting the bulk either though. Both him and Campbell will be best utilized as a pure tandem.

That's what Biron said. Competition between the 2 guys will be good for both.

Yeah.  I'm good with a 52/30 split.  I think Mrazek will and should get more of the share of the starts, otherwise paying nearly $4 million for a 1B platoon doesn't seem like the best utilization of money.

I originally thought that was a percentage split and was highly confused  ;D

Mmmm rearranging deck chairs?  Is he an upgrade over Andersen?

Over a healthy and performing at his best Andersen...probably not.  But we haven't really seem that guy in 2 years.

The MLHS analysis makes it seem like a sideways move, which is fine.  Just wondering if they could have re-signed Freddie at the same rate.

It's just a shame the Leafs can't seem to get a really good goalie.  Not easy to do, I know.

 

[dappleganger]

Ugh... shoulda just kept Andersen.
