Blockbuster NHL Trade Shocks Fans: Maple Leafs and Flyers Flip Key Goaltenders and Defensemen!
Charlie O’Connor: On Benoit: “I’m not a huge fan. Pretty bad underlying metrics, but he’s big and physical. Hope he gets used as the No. 7. If he’s the new Juulsen, it works.”
Dobber Hockey: “Emil Andrae was a good get. Small, but criminally underrated. Creative with the puck. Super-smart. High upside, but carries risk. This was literally the type of acquisition I felt they needed (that they could actually pull off, not some dreamy pie in the sky idea)”
Dobber Hockey: “As for Ersson, I don’t think he’s an NHL goaltender. Joseph Woll is. However, Woll is injury prone and you need to be able to count on a goalie actually playing when it matters. Still, trading him leaves the Leafs with another injury prone goalie in Stolarz, and a weak backup in Ersson. So you have to think that another deal will happen this summer to address that.
