Maple Leafs get G Frederik Andersen from
#1
The Toronto Maple Leafs entered the offseason in the market for a goaltender. They got one on Monday afternoon when the team announced it has acquired restricted free agent Frederik Andersen from the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for a 2016 first-round pick (No. 30 overall) and a second-round draft pick in 2017General manager Lou Lamoriello also announced that the team has signed Andersen to a Linus Ullmark Kids Jersey five-year contract. Financial terms of Curtis Lazar Women Jersey the deal are not known at this time. The draft pick compensation isn't cheap, but the Maple Leafs s (more than anybody else in the ) so they definitely have the resources to make this type of deal to improve an area of need. And Andersen is definitely an upgrade. The first-round pick the Maple Leafs traded on Monday originally belonged to the Pittsburgh Penguins. Toronto acquired a year ago in the Phil Ke sel trade. Toronto still has 11 picks in the 2016 draft, including the No. 1 overall pick and the first pick in the second round (No. 31 overall). They will almost certainly be able to get a play at 31 that they would have been happy to select at No. 30. They also have three second Kyle Okposo Men Jersey -round picks in 2017. Andersen, who turns 27 Rasmus Ristolainen Women Jersey in October, has played three years in the NHL (all with the Ducks) and has a .918 save percentage in 125 regular season games. By trading him the Ducks settled their goaltending situation and pretty much made John Gibson their No. 1 starter for the foreseeable future. It also gives them a pair of first-round picks this year. The Ducks also own the No. 24 overall pick in the draft. The addition of Andersen also leads to a Derek Roy Women Jersey question of what the Maple Leafs will now do with Jonathan Bernier. Bernier has one-year remaining on his current contract and carries a salary cap hit of more than $4 million into the 2016-17 season. With Andersen likely to command a similar deal that would be one of the most expensive goaltending duos anywhere in the NHL.
