Should the Toronto Maple Leafs inquire about Connor Hellebuyck? Ranking the top GM candidates



Both the Florida Panthers and Vegas Golden Knights hold 3-0 series leads in the Conference Finals of the Stanley Cup Playoffs with a key theme being central and that’s goaltending. Mike DiStefano and David Morassutti look at how the goaltending performances have shown the value in the position. It makes Dave and Mike wonder if the Leafs should make a serious play for Connor Hellebuyck should he be made available on the trade market and what it could cost. They also discuss the rumour that the Core 4 could return next season and if that would be the right direction for Toronto. To end the show, Mike and Dave look at FanDuel’s betting odds for the Leafs next general manager and rank their top choices.

  1. The goaltending has not been the problem in the playoffs. They didn’t lose because of Samsonov or Woll or even Campbell last year. How is Hellebuyck going to help the top players deliver when its needed?

  2. I am sort of warry of trading for Hellebuyck because he is 31 and the Leafs would lose one of Woll or Samsonov who are cheaper and I view them as less likely to be injured do to their ages. Hellebuyck is a career .916 goalie. Samsonov is career 908 but was 9.19 with the Leafs. Woll is .924 but the sample size is small. I don't see enough benefit to justify the trade.
