R2GDT#5: Rangers @ Sens, May 6, 3:00pm

Not sure you can easily sign a 1a goalie. A 2a or 1b goalie for sure. I'd even argue that at this point of the playoffs no remaining goalie has been good aside from Rinne.

It's not that difficult to find a serviceable goalie, but it is hard to find a really good one. Anderson has shown he can be really good, so I think it'd be silly to give up on him after a few playoff games.

I don't think it's a matter of giving up on him. Anderson's regular season numbers were much better than Condon's:

Condon in 41 GP was 19-14-6 with a GAA of 2.48 and SV% of 0.914 (incl 5 shutouts)
Anderson in 40 GP was 25-11-4 with a GAA of 2.28 and SV% of 0.926 (incl 5 shutouts)

But at 35 years old (36 in two weeks), can Anderson handle a full workload? He's signed for one more year after this season. I'd maybe sign him to a one year contract extension but that's it. Knowing the Sens brass they will probably sign him to a two-year extension though.

Anderson is proof that it's not that hard to find one. They traded a middling goalie for him.
