So, maybe?

If he signs 1 yr for less than $5M, why not?

- PatC80

Because, thanks to the $40M we have tied up in 4 forwards, the leafs really dont have that kind of cash to spend on goalie.

Plus I dont see Rask accepting a 1 year deal.

I don't get why fans want a goalie.

Campbell was fantastic last year, playoffs and regular season. At 1.65 M Leafs would be crazy not to go cheap in net and maximize dollars on the forward group or Hamilton if he is willing too sign here.

I'm not worried about Campbell. If/when the Leafs lose Andersen and Rittich we'll need goaltending

Anyone notice how RJ isn't showing his ugly face around here today?

Pathetic loser who follows a pathetic loser team from a pathetic loser city that hasn't won anything in at least a couple of years.

Max?

Scabby?

I agree that Campbell did a good job last year.

But since it would be his first full year as a starter, getting another solid backup/alternate starter would be the safe choice.

Yup, the leafs need to sign a cheap 1B goalie who can handle 40 games, in case Soupy gets injured or faulters.
But no need to bring in an expensive 1A goalie

Winning as a back up to Tim Thomas still counts
- PatC80


Yes he has a ring - but I specified while playing in Post Season.

He went a pedestrian 11-14-2 during that season. Well below his standards (306-163-66)

I haven't played goalie in 16 years back when I played Midget "A".

I mean I'd gladly do it but I'd probably tear up a ligament in my first game.

I don't think Campbell could handle a starter role.
His body would break down to many time me thinks.

Looking at the UFA list... there aren't a ton of options.

Mrazek? Raanta?

Rinne maybe?

Some veteran goalie on a $1.5 M X 2 year contract.

A guy who can be a calm, steadying influence, yet not threaten him for the starting position.

Probably re-sign the goalie we traded a 3rd for.

You're being difficult.

Grabbing a good but not too good, cheap, experienced but not too old, calm goaltender is HARD.

you're making me hard. Wait, that's on Dubas to find a good backup that is not expensive and won't challenge Campbell, but can be pencilled in for at least 35 starts.

Campbell didn't lose the Leaf's series, but he didn't do anything to sway it their way either. To advance in playoffs, you NEED a goalie to steal a few games. He did not. No goalie the Leafs have had the past few years has stolen a game in the playoffs. Just look at Varlamov/Sorokin. Both have won a game or two in the first two rounds that the Isles had NO business winning.

Playoff winners win b/c they are constructed from a goalie and defense first mentality.

I want something more than Big Save Dave level insurance for a guy who played 29 total games last year. I’m ok with Campbell as the starter but I’m prepared to pay $2-3 of Freddie money for a legitimate 1b.
