Goaltending choices for the Toronto Maple Leafs
Jonas Siegel of The Athletic: So the Toronto Maple Leafs will go together with Martin Jones and Dennis Hildeby for now. Ilya Samsonov will attempt to discover himself within the minors and Joseph Woll isn’t able to return from his excessive ankle sprain.
In the event that they go the commerce route, there are some starter and backup/tandem choices.
Starters – Jacob Markstrom (Flames – two years at $6 million per), Elvis Merzlikins (Blue Jackets – one yr at $5.4 million), and John Gibson (Geese – 4 years at $6.4 million). Markstrom is unlikely, Is Merzlikins a real No. 1 goalie? Would the Geese retain half of Gibson’s wage and the way a lot additional would that price the Leafs?
NHL Rumors: Toronto Maple Leafs, William Nylander talks may choose up within the New Yr
Backups/tandem – Eric Comrie (Sabres – $1.8 million), Anton Forsberg (Senators – one yr at $2.75 million), Alex Lyon (Crimson Wings – yet one more yr at $900,000) Kaapo Kahkonen (Sharks), Dan Vladar (Flames – one yr at $2.2 million), Jake Allen (Canadiens – one yr at $4 million), Kevin Lankinen (Predators – $2 million), Anthony Stolarz (Panthers) James Reimer (Crimson Wings), and Jaroslav Halak (UFA). What number of are actually upgrades for the Leafs?
Will somebody provide up lots for David Savard and Sean Monahan?
Eric Engels of Sportsnet: (mailbag) Montreal Canadiens defenseman David Savard has a yr left at $3.5 million and there are some groups which will pay a excessive worth for him provided that he’s not only a rental.
Don’t suppose the Canadiens will commerce ahead Josh Anderson. He’s received three years left at $5.5 million.
NHL Rumors: Which groups want to amass a goaltender essentially the most?
Don’t suppose the Canadiens and Sean Monahan have talked a couple of contract extension. Can the Canadiens get a first-round choose or a top quality prospect for Monahan? The Canadiens have Jake Evans and Christian Dvorak below contract for subsequent season, so if they’ll get a very good return they could take into account buying and selling him.
