Oilers sign Freddy Anderson for 1 x 1M
We have $6.4M left ..
All these "$1M" contracts signed today might have bonus clauses.. which will reduce our current cap... wait and see..

Think it might be 1M and 1.8M of bonuses.
He can be good when healthy. Just been injury prone most of his career. Jarry injury prone too. Might be a strange year in net next season.
Extra contract details:

@PuckPedia
The #LetsGoOilers signed 36 y/o G Freddie Andersen to 1 year deal
Salary $1M
Perf Bonuses $1.8M: $600K @ 10GP, 400K @ 20GP, $200K for each playoff round won where he plays 50% of games)
Cap Hit $1M, AAV $2.8M
So at least 2M if he plays 20 games. And hopefully he gets the full 2.8M!

Not sure how I feel about this. His save percentage was really down last year and he gets hurt a lot. If he stays healthy, he can be solid. Maybe Jarry is going to get dealt and then we will get more defenseman. It looks like we are really going in to build up the defense, and then hopefully even an average goalie can play decent for us. Anderson can play great though too

So this could be like a Mike Smith 2.0 signing? If the defence can hold and he can stay healthy for 40 ganes and playoffs then this would be a great signing. At only one year I th8nk this is the best case we could really ask for.
