Speculation: Maple Leafs linked to Brian Elliott

Maple Leafs Linked To Brian Elliott

1st paragraph reads as:
The remaining unrestricted free agent market for goaltenders isn’t exactly the deepest with the options mostly being veteran backups or third-stringers. But it appears at least one netminder has a potential suitor as Larry Brooks of the New York Post suggests that Brian Elliott could be on his way to Toronto.

Treliving loves his trash

As a coach?

Better than any goalie the Avs have had in the last decade

 

[All Mighty]

The last time Elliott played for Treliving, he delivered one of the worst playoff goaltending performances I’ve ever seen.

 

[Handshot]

Any other goaltender the leafs sign would be depth on the Marlies. Samsonov/Woll is absolutely going to be the tandem going into the year.

Now we know you wear a tin foil hat

Fits the Leafs identity perfectly.

Nope. I wear a hat that says 1991,1992,2009,2016,2017 Stanley cup champions

As a coach?

The article above states as a 3rd string waiver option.

Kinda like the Leafs situation with Simmonds last season where they repeatedly waved him but he didn’t suit up in the AHL, just lingered as a paper transaction in the press box as an extra player incase of injury.

Samsonov
Woll

Petruzelli
Dryden
Cavalin

Where does he fit

 

[Zman5778]

As a Sabres fan..........good sweet lord I hope the Leafs stay 10000000 feet away from Elliott.

 

[biturbo19]

Wait, i thought he announced that he was done and retiring? Did i just imagine that?


Anyway...even if he's not, isn't he pretty cooked at this point? Maybe okay as a sparingly used backup behind a workhorse like Vasilevskiy, but the Leafs don't have that. So i'm not sure what they'd be thinking there.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

He’s the only ex-Sens goalie who doesn’t seem to own us every time. Do it Treliving.

This report doesn't make sense, we're running a Samsonov - Woll tandem which is very economical while still having good goaltending

He’ll be #1

Not sure if you are joking but if you Leafs sign him, he’s the #1 goalie

 

[BigRangy]

The last time Elliott played for Treliving, he delivered one of the worst playoff goaltending performances I’ve ever seen.

7 low danger goals against in 4 games. He was brutal, although the Flames definitely weren’t winning that one regardless.

The rest of the conference finalist goalies combined for 11 through all of their first two rounds.

This is trolling right? Elliott was one of the worst goalies in the league last year.

It makes perfect sense. Leafs want a third string goalie who is experienced and who will likely clear waivers. What makes no sense are the critics who somehow think that a better goalie will clear waivers.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Treliving sure loves his retreads.

Elliott has only surpassed the .900 SV% mark once in the last four seasons.

 

[PanniniClaus]

Well... I may as well stage a hunger strike at MLSE until we sign Donny Beaupre.. to go with Elliott
