Prices at the Pumps - May 8, 2024 #saltwire #pricesatthepumps #gaspricesThat’s not to take anything away from what Joseph Woll did in the first round against the Boston Bruins.
It was left to Ilya Samsonov to help keep the Leafs alive in Game 7, and while Samsonov for the most part was sharp, we’re not going to make you re-live the overtime winner by David Pastrnak that sent Toronto into its annual spring state of despair. Without the list of injuries Woll has endured, we’re probably talking about him being the top netminder to emerge from the 2016 NHL draft. As it stands, of the 18 goalies selected that year, only three — Carter Hart, Filip Gustavsson and Connor Ingram — have played more NHL games. And Hart’s career, now on hold, is in doubt after he was one of five players charged with sexual assault in February, relating to an alleged assault by members of Canada’s national junior team in 2018.
And here’s a reminder that of Leafs’ goaltenders, Woll is the only one under contract. Samsonov, Martin Jones and Matt Murray all are headed for unrestricted free agency. But there should be no expectation that the Leafs will try to be successful with a Woll/Hildeby tandem. There has to be NHL experience on roster. We saw what Jones was able to provide his past season when the Leafs needed him in a pinch, going 11-8-1 with a .902 save percentage in 22 games.
Laurent Brossoit of the Winnipeg Jets and Anthony Stolarz of the Florida Panthers would be serviceable veteran options. The same could be said of Kevin Lankinen of the Nashville Predators, Alex Nedeljkovic of the Pittsburgh Penguins and Scott Wedgewood of the Dallas Stars.
