You have no choice, you have to go find/trade for another option if Freddy is out months and months. No disrespect to Martin but go find a better number two than that for the long haul, Freddy can no longer be counted on at this point.

Any teams still carrying three goalies? Lyon in Detroit available? Scary to consider someone like Jarry who has been awful and the contract is gross. I guess a guy like Reimer or Kahkonen who have bounced around the waiver wire are looking for a more permanent gig...

Unless you really think this is a cup run year, I don't think you go get another goaltender, at least not an Andersen 1A/1B replacement.
This was supposed to be a down year, and the team has been playing stretches as good as I've seen in a decade, but unless you think you're at least an ECF team I think you hold pat, let those inflated contracts drop off this summer, bring in Boom and some Wolves, and get a real stud in goalie if one is to be had.

Shoulda kidnapped Vejmelka or Ingram when they left Utah.

Are you not going to need a platoon for Pyotr regardless moving forward next year and beyond? If Freddy and that body is pretty much shot we all know the Canes will not be even thinking about bringing him back, it would not hurt if you could somehow find a better option than Martin now and even into next year if you had a contract with term...just a tough time to ever shore up your goaltending mid season and every other team knows you are scrambling. Martin is a good 3 on the depth chart and that's probably where it ends...a fulltime backup to Pyotr for the remainder is a bit scary for me.

How would they know? Without solid goaltending it’s not a cup run year but this team is every bit as good as last year’s team. I think the media says it was a reset/down year but I think our D is better and our forward mix works better. The key is and was Necas and KK. If they play like legit top 6 forwards it’s a cup run year.

Time to dump Anderson

Meh. That time was in the summer. Instead they chose to bring him back and now are paying the consequences. As everyone has noted, this was 100% predictable. Trying to make a goalie move during the season is SO much more difficult than in the summer.

Also, it's looking pretty likely that the front office got the calculus wrong on Martin too. He stood in the breach for them last season but has looked like an AHL goalie this year, at best ... and like an ECHL goalie at worst ... and that's hardly shocking given that his career arc places him squarely in the minor league range. Nice guy. Not a serious option. Oh, and don't be caught yearning for the future, because while Carolina has a million goalie prospects, they mostly look like duds.

It's almost like the ghost of Ron Francis is still infecting the front office with his utter inability sort out his goalies.
 
Oh, and just to reality check this thing ... there's a pretty good chance you'll be paying money to watch freaking Perets try to play goal against the Blues on Sunday afternoon. A guy who almost certainly should be in the ECHL.

Yep, and that is criminal because we sat through 60 minutes of Perets against Nashville’s full NHL roster in pre season action and that was freaking scary to watch. The Canes even playing Perets in the AHL this season is a stretch based on talent level of his game right now.
 
hopefully just to open the bench door, watch Spence this weekend, and to practice with the boys.... and hopefully just for a few days.. I'm really glad I traded in Sunday's game for extra tickets for a December matchup earlier in the week now.
 
Brindy waffled a bit on Kochetkov's status, so he might be fit to play on Sunday. Not sure what sort of "wear and tear" issue causes him to need to leave a game and then take 3 days off, but here we are ... with whatever meager media presence we have terrified to ask simple questions. The Canes could literally say a guy needs a day off for a hangnail and at this point, Chip and Co. would just nod and write it down.

Should Freddie be on LTIR?

If he needs surgery, then they'll almost certainly have to put him on LTIR so they can add another NHL goalie. And apparently surgery is actually on the table. Meaning he's got some sort of tear ... MCL, groin, ankle ligament, something.

The silver lining is that if he does need surgery then the Freddie Anderson era in Raleigh is over. Thank Christmas.
 
Before he moves on, the Hurricanes marketing department needs to come up with a limited edition Frederik Andersen china figurine. They'll need to be double wrapped in bubble wrap and shipped in packing peanuts due to the fragility of the product. The highly polished pedestal (sold seperately) looks close to the Stanley Cup, just not too close. Please be prepared for a 3-4 month wait on delivery. No C.O.D.s. *heavy sigh*

Dude can play great, when he can play, that's what's so maddening. I love how well the team plays in front of Freddie, but this missing the majority of the season mess is getting stale.
