from Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun,

- Frederik Andersen is a decent NHL goalie. Question is: How decent? Better than Carey Price? Jonathan Quick? Tuukka Rask? Braden Holtby? Corey Crawford? Pekka Rinne? Sergei Bobrovsky? Matt Murray? Cory Schneider? Andrei Vasilevskiy? Jake Allen? Probably not. That puts him somewhere around Top 15. Is that good enough for a Leafs team that struggles in its own end?

- Have you seen the tryout rosters in preparation for the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang?

It’s enough to make you want to cry or scream or maybe do a little of both.

Canada should have Sidney Crosby and Connor McDavid and despite all that’s going on in Montreal, Carey Price in goal.

The Americans should have Auston Matthews and Patrick Kane and Jonathan Quick in goal.

Instead, we could get Marc Arcobello vs Robbie Earl? We could get Mason Raymond vs. Brian Gionta?

And we could get Ben Scrivens vs. Ryan Zapolski?
