That erased all starting goaltender questions. Frederik Andersen is the Toronto Maple Leafs number one netminder for the foreseeable future.
What can the Leafs expect from him in his first season in Toronto? Well, expectations should be tempered.
Andersen is still playing behind a developing roster that features some veteran players that are band-aids for the time being.
Like Cory Schneider the past few seasons – not in skill, but in context – Andersen will be looking to put up good numbers despite a bad record in the standings.
That’s what the Toronto Maple Leafs want him to do.
