"Dennis Hildeby proved in a small sample size this season that he's ready to be a full time NHL goalie, and with the recent news of prospect Artur Akhtyamov being inked to a three-year contract extension, it seems likelier than ever that the scene is being set to deal one of Anthony Stolarz or Joseph Woll this summer."
"While Woll has been the more consistent goaltender over the years, Stolarz's highs have been higher than any Leafs goalie in recent history, but in that same breath, he's had some pretty low lows as well."
"Both goaltenders have the unmoved mindset that's needed to be a goaltender in Toronto, especially when expectations are as high as they currently are, so the question will likely come down to how the Leafs are approaching their entire goaltender situation, Hildeby and Akhtyamov included."
The Toronto Maple Leafs face tough decisions regarding their goaltending situation this summer. With Dennis Hildeby proving capable of being a full-time NHL goalie and Artur Akhtyamov signing a contract extension, the team may consider trading either Anthony Stolarz or Joseph Woll. The decision will depend on the potential return for each goalie. Stolarz has shown high peaks but also low lows, while Woll has been more consistent. Both goalies have contracts that impact their future with the team.
