Five potential Trade Targets for the Toronto Maple Leafs in goal
The Leafs’ tandem on Sunday night in Raleigh boasted a grand total of 18 games’ of NHL experience – all of them belonging to Erik Kallgren. Before coming up big with a 29-save effort in Sunday’s win over the Hurricanes, Kallgren had struggled with an .888 save percentage in those first 18 games. Toronto scrambled to sign Marlies farmhand and second-year pro Keith Petruzzelli to an NHL contract on Saturday night after Samsonov went down.
Oft-injured netminder Matt Murray, out since opening night with an abductor injury, is scheduled to practice for the first time on Tuesday and coach Sheldon Keefe said his return is “on the horizon.” The Leafs are still waiting on results from an MRI to properly assess the severity of Ilya Samsonov’s injury. He left Saturday’s game after an awkward attempted save on a penalty shot from Brad Marchand – and Keefe said it’s possible that Samsonov is out longer than the minimum required week.
Even if Samsonov is sidelined for just a short period of time, there is no doubt the Leafs spent part of Sunday analyzing the goaltending market to see what might be out there given Murray’s injury history. It’s difficult to count on Murray being upright now for any extended period.Here are a few different ones, with potential short and long-term solutions:Contract: Pending UFA, $1.
