They extended Brandon Bussey during the Olympic break, a move that looks pretty sage right now.

And they used both guys during the playoffs like they used both guys.

They pivoted when necessary.

And that's been consistent with what they've done.

And sometimes it's cost them.

Like, remember, they went to their backup goaltender.

I can't remember who it was after the triple overtime game against Florida.

They had they had a game two and they went to their backup goaltender.

They lost that game, too.

but they've been really disciplined about it.

And they've also been pretty disciplined about kind of not investing a ton in that position.

Like remember Alex Nadelkovic had that breakout season, carried them through the playoffs.

And then they traded him for Jonathan Bernier because Detroit added a third round pick, right?

Like they've been very open to taking your distressed goaltender.

If you'll pay them to do it and sending you the guy you think is better.

Um,

Freddie Anderson's UFA.

They have Bussey and Kachetkov signed.

Like, is anyone going to be surprised if they just let Freddie Anderson walk?

Not at all.
