Craig Anderson was a fantastic backup for Florida. I think he’d fit in well here.
Pyle – the problem with Freddy was that he conclusively was NOT able to handle being a backup, and he lost the consistency he’d shown a couple years ago that would have made him an acceptable starter.
Anderson is my pick as well. He seems to have a great attitude and loves competing which is what we need from a back-up.

Backup in the system
What is wrong w/ LaCosta. He came up and got a few quality wins last season. I saw both he and Wade play, and he played much better, looked confident in the 3rd period of his shut out. As much as Mason played last season I say give LaCosta the chance w/ the big squad. Why not?
He’s still very young, especially for a goalie.
LaCosta made great strides last year, but I think we should let him have his time to develop in Syracuse. It will be beneficial for him to continue to compete with Lalande for starts.
He’s a great option to have to call-up if a goalie gets injured, but if Mason or LaCosta went down next year, then what? Not to mention someone with age and experience can help mentor Mason along the way as well.
