He will be out at least two months

Does anyone else see this as the beginning of the end of Freddie Andersen?

It started as a day-to-day.

Escalated to week-to-week: Brind'Amour announced that Andersen was considered week-to-week with the injury. He said, "That's a little more time than I was hoping, but hopefully we'll get an update every week".

Next: Brind'Amour later said that Andersen's injury would be "way longer" than expected.

Now: https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/toronto-maple-leafs/latest-news/report-former-maple-leafs-goaltender-frederik-andersen-shut-down-by-hurricanes-to-miss-roughly-8-weeks-following-knee-surgery

According to TSN's Pierre LeBrun, Andersen is set to undergo surgery that will keep him out of the team's lineup for "roughly" eight weeks.

Who here believes the Canes will roll with Kochetkov and Martin without making a move?

Well he would be 36 next year and a UFA. Unless he is planning on being cheap and a backup to Kochetkov, I can't see this continuing.

Martin is a fun story but he isn’t the solution. It has to be the end of Freddie in Carolina. The best ability is availability. I would go all in a trade for Gibson or Soros. It’s time to quit dicking around in goal and get it done. 

The same can be said for Kochetkov i don't trust him for poo in the playoffs.

This isnt a bad thing at all.  Its all retro for cap reasons.  Heard it on the radio earlier.  Think what they did with Jarvis a month or so ago.  Time table is still on track,

Yep...

Freddie Anderson activated from IR

Frederik Andersen was activated from injured reserve and will be the backup for the Hurricanes against the Vegas Golden Knights on Friday (7 p.m. ET; FDSNSO, SCRIPPS, NHLN, TVAS2).

The 35-year-old goalie has not played since Oct. 26, when he made 18 saves in a 4-1 win against the Seattle Kraken. He was expected to miss 8-12 weeks, and returned to practice with the Hurricanes on Jan. 8 for the first time since he had knee surgery Nov. 22.

More in the linky thingy...

    • Rashid Shaheed Born: Aug 31, 1998 (27 years) Height and weight: Height 6′ 0″, Weight 180 lbs Current team: Seattle Seahawks (#22 / Wide receiver/kick returner) Rashid Shaheed signed a one-year, $5.2 million extension with the Saints in July 2024, keeping him under contract through the 2025 season with a $1M signing bonus and $4.2M base salary in 2025, before being traded to the Seahawks at the 2025 deadline, making him an Unrestricted Free Agent in 2026.   His initial deal was a 2-year, $6.185M contract with $1M guaranteed through 2025.    Rashid Shaheed's scouting report highlights him as an electrifying, big-play deep threat receiver known for elite efficiency on deep routes, explosive plays, and reliable hands (zero drops over multiple seasons), though he's undersized (around 180 lbs) and needs to improve blocking and route running consistency to shed his "situational/boom-or-bust" label and become a full-time WR1/WR2.     Strengths: Elite Deep Threat: Ranks among the league's best in air yards per target and yards per reception, consistently producing 30+ yard catches and touchdowns. Playmaker: "A playmaker" who excels at making plays downfield and adding a vertical dimension to offenses. Reliable Hands: Showcased impressive ball skills with zero drops over recent seasons, even making contested catches. Efficiency: Finishes high in metrics like yards per route run, demonstrating effective production when targeted. Undrafted Gem: A significant value find for the Saints, proving overlooked prospects can excel.      Areas for Improvement: Size/Blocking: At around 180 lbs, he's smaller and less effective as a blocker, which limited his snaps in New Orleans compared to bigger receivers. Route Running: Needs to develop cleaner routes and better consistency in intermediate areas to earn more targets beyond deep shots. Consistency/Role: Often a "boom-or-bust" or situational player due to volume fluctuations, needing more consistent targets to reach WR1 status.      Role/Projection: Schematic Weapon: Stretches defenses, creating space for other players and opening up the run game, making offenses more efficient. Fantasy Profile: A high-upside FLEX or WR4, capable of winning weeks with big plays but dependent on volume and quarterback play. Future Outlook: His value hinges on earning a larger, more consistent role, potentially becoming a true WR2 with more opportunity and development in blocking/route running.   
    • A team that wants to win at any cost rolls with Young and Dalton for 3 years? 
    • Trubisky would be a top 5 backup QB with potential for long term replacement stretches if Bryce gets benched.  The issue will be price. Also a big fan of Allar late in the draft. THAT is the kind of injury gamble you take. Not in the 2nd but on a 5th-7th rounder that was formerly a top 2 round prospect.
