I love it. Woll is clearly something. Worst case, with a near 100M cap when it kicks in that is the going rate for a backup goalie which he has already proven he is capable of being.
If he finds his potential, that is going to be such a massive boost to their cup chances having their starting goalie that cheap until he is 30. Basically the entire Matthews contract
There’s definitely some risk there with that small sample size. Let’s not forget that he really struggled in his first two years in the AHL, I know that some goalies are late bloomers but it’s rare. There’s potential for that to end up a bad contract and cost an asset to get rid of but I don’t think there’s any options between the pipes that don’t come with risk.
His first two seasons in the AHL? Who gives a crap. He had a .927 his last season there, and followed that up with a .915 NHL sv% and a .933sv% in the playoffs over the last 2 seasons.
Sure not a lot of games, but this is clearly a legit goalie and not someone with 15 good games
