Hey, Leafs fans! Let’s discuss the recent goalie rumors surrounding the Toronto Maple Leafs. Firstly, thank you, but no thank you! There have been whispers that Philadelphia and Winnipeg might make their goalies available for trade. However, the Leafs shouldn’t even consider it.
Take Connor Hellebuyck, for example. Besides the difficulty of spelling his name correctly, he is over 30 and expensive. Despite being consistently good, his contract with one year and $6.6 million remaining doesn’t make sense for the Leafs.
The Jets would likely ask for Nylander, which would be a terrible trade. Moreover, the fact that Hellebuyck is not on the market might raise his trade value. Considering the uncertainties with goalies, the chances of Hellebuyck being better than Woll next season are slim. Therefore, it’s not worth the risk for minimal reward.
