Auston Matthews and Frederik Andersen had a great friendship as the two arrived at the same time with the Toronto Maple Leafs. The two players were always together and shared a ton of magical moments as teammates and friends. However, those moments won't be relived anytime soon from now on as Freddy Andersen signed a new deal with the Carolina Hurricanes yesterday.
Yes, it's sad to lose your best buddy, but that's the reality of professional sports. There are business decisions, players opting for money and/or comfort (not a criticism), which creates a lot of movement.
In short, Matthews and Andersen are both professional players, so they will be able to move on quickly to focus on their respective teams.
