This summer saw the winds of change blow in Raleigh. There were a lot of new forwards, a lot of new defensemen, and a brand new goalie tandem. It is on one of the goaltenders, in particular, I want to focus on. With the Canes adding a Danish netminder coming off a rough season to replace a Czech one who lost his starting job in Raleigh. It was a risky decision to make, but the Canes made it.
When Frederik Andersen was signed to replace Petr Mrazek, it was a bold choice. Andersen came to Raleigh, taking a pay cut to do so, whereas Mrazek moved on to Toronto and got an increased pay.
