Once again Andersen seems to be dealing with a medical issue. Can someone confirm this story?

This sounds to be more than hockey medical issue. I’m wondering if he does have cancer cells if they are going to do an abridged chemo to make sure everything is dead. If so we may probably not see him again this season. 
 

Further clarification. Might not be cancer but sounds more like a disease than anything hockey related. Something treatable though that will keep him away from hockey doesn’t air on the he’ll be playing again for a while though.

Well… first and foremost.

Prayers and well wishes and good thoughts and vibes to Zilla. Hopefully whatever the issue is was found early and he’ll make a full recovery.

Secondly, Halak is the best free agent goal tender available so he’s not a bad option but this team has cup aspirations this year.

If Freddie is truly going to be out long term then put him on LTIR and open up the picks and prospects bag and let’s ship some off for a tendy.

I’d look at acquiring Carter Hart.

He’s in the last year of his contract on a team in Philadelphia that’s going no where this year.

We did them a solid by taking TDA off their hands and sending them a prospect when we didn’t have to.

It’s time they return the favor and give us Hart for a second round pick and b level prospect.

Actually we didn't we waited for them to buy him out and signed him.

So that’s the technicality of it but we actually sent them a decent prospect Massimo Rizzo for David Kase (a player that will never play here).

Rizzo was supposed to be in the deal for TDA but when the NHL held up the deal Philly had no choice but to buy him out. In good faith Waddell still sent Philly the prospect they wanted (Massimo Rizzo) in exchange for basically nothing (David Kase).

Kase will never play here and is more known for being Hurricanes legend (joking), Ondrej Kase’s brother.

Not sure Philly would go for that but Hart would be a strong play. Certainly have to hold onto Nikishin who is going to be the first ask from any team for a goalie.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
