That’s Great Woll Signing.
Lots more Work to do.
Good signing
Wow
Next extension.
Mitch Marner
They are running it back with the same old
Bruins own the leafs
A tad risky but….. there are times that you have to take a risk!
This likely means they will be bargain hunting for their backup, which could be a disaster, if Woll gets hurt or struggles. However, if he becomes a solid starter, 3.5 for a starting goalie is a steal
Good signing. Now get Marner to sign.
Not impressed.
🤦🏽♂️he’ll never play 50 games in a season and will be retired due to injuries by the time he’s 30
Big gamble
What does this Blueline look like…. I think we are getting Perron
I woke up and I'm genuinely surprised. Nonetheless very pleased it worked out for both parties. I believe this contract will be a steal as long as he stays healthy.
We cannot afford Marner unfortunately unless they plan on moving Willy and I don’t see that either…. We have 0 D men not named Morgan Riley right now
If they can bring in the right coaching/ conditioning, then watch out.
Not really surprising as Woll is one of the goalies of the future for the Leafs.
Thinking linus ullmark can of helped with the negotiations when he said he was very surprised when samsonov played and woll was a challenge when he played 😊
Good signing… he will be fine.
Love extending him 3 yrs…maybe lil pricey if it goes over 4 million…but over all like it
Woll has shown signs he can be a good goaltender. But hopefully he can stay away from the injuries. Will see how he holds up playing 50+ games a season.
Another stupid signing from management
If a professional being easily injury for the past 5 years what will suddenly change?
Let’s bring everyone back Shanny
can't sign him til July 1. But love it if it happens. Sorry Mitch no cap space to sign you. Need it for Knies, McCabe and 2nd line center. Plus you're locking him in before it takes 6 to re-sign him if he stays healthy, and can use the 3.5/4 mil cap space if he goes on LTIR
I really like Woll but llike most fans, I have a little bit of nerves with this. Like you posted, I have 2 issues. Firstly, like the video mentioned, is he has had issues staying healthy. That can be worked on, maybe minor tweaks in his warm ups, form, etc. Second issue is based on his games played. Even if he goes next season and is healthy all year, he hasn't played over 25 games which was just this past season. That is the load you'd expect from a back up tender, but for the Leafs expecting Woll to be their possible #1 goalie, those are 2 big concerns ( health status and games played). I think this is the pivot contract, meaning he could stay healthy and put up great numbers making this deal look like a steal. However, the pivot could be him being in and out of the line up, playing around the same amount of games ( stats don't really even matter at this point), which could make this contract look pretty bad. I am hoping he has a good season and he can stay healthy going forward. I think, if he stays healthy and takes the #1 roll, it will be that way for 4-6 years. Next season is still on his entry level deal, if he signs this contract for 3 years it kicks in for the 25-26 season then if Hildeby is the guy, I would assume they'd bring him up for the back up roll for a year or two then see if he can take the net from Woll..
It’s not really surprising he’s obv there goalie of the future
I don't get it – an injury-prone, untested goalie. A few really good games, but was not great in AHL for his full stint. Really just one good year in AHL. Too much in my opinion.
I think this is going to be a really good signing! Especially if they get improve defensively and help him out he won’t be as active in the games and hopefully won’t get hurt
You still need a goalie to back up & injuries. Maybe a starter for the playoffs.
As a leaf fan. I can say this is a typical leafs signing. A little high for a goalie that has not played a tone of games.
You guys are no ture fans u should have believe in woll
He is a really good goalie u should switch from a leaf fan to a different team If you don't have believe in him
The injury issue is a concern. He has been injured every year since turning pro.
Way over pay for injury prone goalie. Guess leafs just never learn.
