It will be interesting to see what the LEafs do when WOll returns .It is unlikely that either Samsonov or Jones will clear waivers again so neither one of them can be sent down .Will they carry 3 goalies ? They have the cap room to do it but it occupies a spot on the 23 man roster .This will only be a problem for a few weeks as the roster limits increase after the trade deadline .After the trade deadline a team can carry as many players as they want as long as they have the cap room Or do they risk waiving Samsonov and hope he does not get claimed ? And if he does get claimed that is extra cap room to get another insurance goalie at the deadline .To be honest even with WOll back ,I still don't feel good about the goaltending going into the playoffs .
Why not just ride the hot goalie. The Leafs have three basic level NHL goalies under contract. Otherwise – they would be paying more. So why not just ride the hot goalies for the most part?😀

Woll is the Leafs best goaltender imo. He last few games before his injury he was showing it. Only downside is Woll seems to be injury prone
hopefully they can make each other better
