"I think they'd look at moving a goalie if something made sense - Chris Johnston Show (3/5). The Leafs have battled injuries to goalies Joseph Woll and Anthony Stolarz this season, which caused 24-year-old Dennis Hildeby to step in and share a decent-sized workload between the pipes."
"Woll was the number one for the most part. However, he has allowed 10 goals in his last two starts, currently going through a rough patch in the blue paint. With Stolarz recently coming off his injury, the Leafs could refrain from dealing the big netminder, as the return could be questionable for a 32-year-old who has just come off the IR."
"If the Leafs were to trade one of their goalies, it would possibly be either Woll or Stolarz, in return for another NHL-ready goaltender, as they might have more trade value than Hildeby or Artur Akhtyamov, respectively. Disrupting what they are both doing in the AHL with the Marlies wouldn't benefit their development or the Marlies as a whole."
The Toronto Maple Leafs are considering trading one of their goalies before the trade deadline, according to NHL insider Chris Johnston. Both Joseph Woll and Anthony Stolarz have experienced recent performance issues. Woll allowed 10 goals in his last two starts, while Stolarz gave up nine goals in his last three games. The team has relied on 24-year-old Dennis Hildeby due to injuries affecting both primary goalies. If the Leafs pursue a goalie trade, Woll or Stolarz would likely be the pieces moved rather than younger prospects Hildeby or Artur Akhtyamov, as trading the latter would disrupt their development in the AHL.
