ANDERS NILSSON - Goalie - 29 - $2.6MM Cap Hit - UFA in 2021-2022
LAST UPDATED 6/18/19
After flaming out of the NHL as a 23 year old, Anders Nilsson dominated the KHL with Ak-Bars Kazan, and returned to the NHL to revive his career. While he hasn't become the starting goalie he probably wanted himself to become, Nilsson has turned himself into an average NHL backup goalie. He's not able to take control of a starting job and steal games for a team, but he'll provide confidence from the back end and is capable of surprises. He was able to post a .914 sv% with positive GSAA on a terrible Ottawa team, but that's a level of success he hasn't been able to meet consistently enough. Goalies are obviously incredibly volatile assets and Nilsson has been prone to fluctuations in the quality of his play, so it's impossible to tell what he's going to be going forward, but betting on him as your backup goalie is a fine bet for teams to take.
