I think the truth is somewhere in the middle. I would have been good with the Flames securing Andersen for two of their 2nd round picks but the Leafs deal was a little rich for my tastes as Andersrn to me is like a bigger Ramo that at times is very solid and at others needs to be spelled by the backup or 1B goaltender. Throw in middling advanced stats and the fact that he played behind an air tight defense and everything points to a middle of the road, average starting goaltender which isn't bad but guys like this can be had for less than a 1st and 2nd round pick.

I don't see him as being better than Reimer who can be signed without giving up assets.
