Thats what has me wondering right now. Hildeby is the youngest, so i assume playing time is the primary goal but its tough to see Jones or Petra in the ECHL
Confirmed with Link: Leafs sign G Martin Jones (1 year, $875k)

Kyle thinks McKay will be the 3rd goalie for the Marlies. This way Hilderby can be the full time starter with the Growlers, all though another youngster in Peksa also needs starts so we'll see I guess

For Jones to play a meaningful number of games, there would have to be a very long-term injury to Samsonov. Maybe he ends up getting 4 or 5 games during the season, but it won't be more than that barring the aforementioned long-term injury.

History is a great teacher.
Kallgren played double digit games in each of the last 2 seasons as the leafs #3 goalie.

Really surprised he got through and I'm glad he did. I thought he looked great in the pre season.

Meh, I have no confidence in Sammy like some of you guys. I just don't think he is a good/durable goalie. I see him playing 40 games tops. Jones is getting 10 at least, and Woll will get 30

My exact expectation of this season. Sammy's a wee bit flaky too, he can get in a funk for no apparent reason. Jones could/can be a big warm body who at the very least will square up to the puck. I dream of Woll running with the ball as the starter but that remains to be seen. I'm still not entirely convinced he's a future NHL starter.

Sadly the Bolts were to smart to fall for that trap. Dubas might have. I just hope his family is okay.

Yep. I'd be pretty confident if he was pressed into starting a stretch of games. Most teams have their #3 play at some point, sometimes for 10+ games. I'm glad to have Jones if that happens.
I actually love following those stories whenever they pop up in the NHL. It's shockingly common for a goalie to play over their head when they get a shot.

I could see the Leafs moving out a goaltender at some point this year, more likely Petruzzelli or Peksa.

Minor discussion regarding the AHL goaltending. McKay laid an egg last season in the ECHL. Cavallin was much better all year including the playoffs despite McKay getting chosen over him at first. Cavallin is 3.5 years younger too.
At some point MLSE may have to consider moving out a goalie prospect to sign Cavallin to an ELC.

Had to go back and laugh at a few of these

Yup, not everything works out as I think. Did you think Jones was going to start 5 straight with a 9.32 in 11 games?
He is right behind Adin Hill in VGK for stats in at least 10 gp, should we sign Jones to the same deal?
Jones has even blown away my expectations, but I sure as shit knew Samsonov was brutal and Jones would do better

Jones is playing no different from when he was in Seattle during their most desperate time, which is obviously what i hoped for (and didnt want.)
Didnt think Sammy would be this bad and no, neither did you.
Can we not be happy Jones is doing well, and agree he’s doing better than anyone expected?
It’s not about being right or wrong, it’s about our team winning, and whoever helps them do it.
Go Leafs Go!

Go look at my post history. I've been saying Samsonov is shit since last season already. For all the shit I took for that opinion, I'm calling in the crows for sure.
Jones might be exceeding all expectations, but at his and Woll's cap hits you can't get much better value than that. Which I also said in the offseason
Not when I constantly got shit on for saying this team is stupid for hitching the wagon to samsonov
