"The Toronto Maple Leafs will be in a situation that many NHL teams will never face. The Maple Leafs have too many goalies. With Anthony Stolarz returning to action soon, the Leafs will have three netminders on the NHL roster. Dennis Hildeby should be the one to move to the Toronto Marlies, but the chances of Hildeby sliding past waivers are slim to none. The question then arises: What do the Maple Leafs do about their goaltending situation?"
"These trade rumours come with great reason, as Hideby and Joseph Woll have been playing strong hockey this season, and before Stolarz's injury, he struggled mightily. In 13 contests, Stolarz has won six games, a save percentage of .884 and a goals against of 3.51. A significant drop-off from last season's success. The Maple Leafs may be able to get a good return for Stolarz as the netminder market is very slim."
The Toronto Maple Leafs will carry three NHL goaltenders once Anthony Stolarz returns, creating roster congestion. Dennis Hildeby is the likeliest candidate to be reassigned to the Toronto Marlies, but Hildeby will likely not clear waivers. Nick Kypreos added Stolarz to his trade board, making Stolarz a potential trade candidate. Stolarz has struggled this season, posting a .884 save percentage and 3.51 goals-against average in 13 games, while Hildeby and Joseph Woll have played strongly. The Carolina Hurricanes need goaltending depth after injuries and inconsistent play, and they have cap space and assets to pursue Stolarz. The Maple Leafs could seek a right-handed defenseman in return.
