I get that people have a short memory, but if you look back at stats jones was once a top 5-10 goalie for San Jose.

jones had a downfall partly/mostly in part of San Jose lack of ability to realize the window closed but kept gambling trying to do one more run

Once the wheels started falling off the 100 point sharks reams of old. 2019ish(1 year after the Karlsson trade)
His stats crashed

went from a broken sharks team to a crashing flyers team and struggled .he was decent for the kraken last season but a surprise contending team

I don't expect him to regain the form of old but once comfortable I wouldn't be shocked to see something in the middle

This is a seasoned nhl vet goalie. The same sort people want to trade for. I just can't see how you can judge by stats with out looking at the full story

Still sporting a career a 905 s% and 2.71 gaa after his bad stretch

And at this juncture why spend assets when chances you have a option. Woll will return probably after the turn of the new year.

Sammy might just get his head together ( definitely getting a pay cut) worst part is we know what he can do he was very good last season and in the bolts series.

In the end this is why we signed jones to the deal and structure it was

I've always liked Jones and wish nothing but the best for him. I hope that 'best' happens in a Leafs jersey moving forward. He could be the perfect mentor type for Woll, and can hopefully provide solid backup goaltending, or even be part of a tandem for the rest of the season while Woll gains experience.

If things go well, maybe the Leafs can trade Samsonov at the deadline.
 
If jones continues to play well i wonder if the leafs have the guts to put sammy on waivers once woll comes back
 
Treeliving played the goalie situation pretty well so far. It’s only been a few games but jones has been steady.Keeps it up and Brad will have a big decision to make. He’ll have good run here to evaluate the goalies .

Lots of teams looking for affordable, solid goaltending right now and not much to go around. Anyone seemingly available is a gamble.

Word is scoring is up and the landscape has changed.

Woll/Jones ain't sexy but it's been solid so far. Let it ride for now.

Maybe unleash the Hildebeast for a game or two.

Jones looked amazing tonight! Nice breath of fresh air. Under no circumstance should Samsonov be starting over Jones. Samsonov should be put on waivers.


Jones and Woll is the tandem.

Jones will need waivers to go back down by the time Woll is ready. Might need to make a decision by then. Probably won't be able to sneak him through again if he plays well between now and then.
Hopefully Sammy bicks up his game and Jones plays the way he can

Then trade Sammy.

Woll
Jones I trust him more than Sammy

Trust him more than Sammy

I would be comfortable with
Woll
Jones

Except for Boston maybe the Rangers every other team is screwed if there stater goes down

TB if Vasi goes down they are screwd
Islanders Valamov
LA Talbot
Vegas Hill
Van Demko
Win Hellebuyck

There backup goaltenders are good for a small stretch

Who does that. Get you?
I don't have a clue

I mean yeah I trust him more than Sammy right now but that's not saying much.

I find it odd that people say they don't need a goalie because Jones has done a great job as a fill in and so far he has.

But those same people who say we don't need a goalie because Jones has done a great job as a fill in, will not tell you we don't need defense even though Lagesson and Benoit have done a great job as fill ins, and they have.

But we all know this team needs a D man regardless of how good Lagesson and Benoit have been

Regardless of how good Jones has been this team needs a goalie because Woll is injured and Samsonov is unuseable.

The same logic applies.

We are winning
Woll is not out for the whole

Leaf management is not going to spend asset and cap space on a goaltender when woll is coming back.

We need to use those assets on a dman

Last 10 games
6 -1 -3

As bad as Sammy has been
5-1-0-5
