Speculation: Maple Leafs linked to Brian Elliott

[The Red Line]

The team that never learns... learns to never learn again.

Its probably to be goalie #3 which we don't really have. I would hope so at least lol.

 

[al secord]

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

You must have a huge cranium.

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

Probably the Marlies guy /insurance . Samsonov and Woll are obviously 1 and 2 .

 

[UnSandvich]

I didn't know he was still playing

Elliott played against the Penguins and Islanders twice.

Dont drink while reading here folks

Need a 3rd goalie but can't see Elliott as a fit.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Brain Elliott is a 3rd string injury replacement incase Samsonov or Woll get injured.

The other goalies in Toronto’s system are not ready for the NHL level.

Elliott would be this seasons waiver fodder just as Wayne Simmonds was last season.

Problem is Samsonov and Woll don’t exactly have a good track record of staying healthy for long periods of time, so the chances of seeing Elliott in a Leafs uniform would be pretty good if the Maple Leafs are actually dumb enough to sign a cooked Brian Elliott.

Toronto is probably waiting to see how the Martin Murray situation plays out before making a move for a netminder.

 

[T_Cage]

As what?

#3 I guess if they trade/buyout Murray....but I'd rather give the AHL reps to the kids. Or sign.....pretty much anyone else.

Heck, I might rather put a cardboard cutout of Dominik Hasek in net than Elliott

 

[Handshot]

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

Nothing like replacing two goalies that put up .919 and .932 sv% last year with a guy that put up .891

 

[shaner8989]

Insurance policy in case Samsonov or Woll go down. 1 year league minimum would be fine.

 

[RustyCat]

I am pretty confident Mike Richter is available as well.

 

[Erndog]

I was just remarking to my buddies the other day the Leafs will likely sign or PTO some veteran goalie they will try and sneak through waivers to be their 3rd stringer. Similar to what they tried with Aaron Dell a couple seasons ago.

This makes perfect sense. If/when their is an injury to Sammy/Woll they'll have an experienced NHL vet to call up for a few games rather than throw a younger kid to the Wolves.

It's literally insurnace and parking him in the minors

this is probably the most perfect reply to this specific topic that could have ever been posted in the world

this is identical to what i did when i read the original post

@PansCyans well damn done... well done

* Conor McGregor voice* who the f*** is that guy?

Former Avs goaltender Brian Elliott, winner of nearly 300 games in the NHL, but by all means, get your joke in.

 

[All Mighty]

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.

And it wasn’t even 4 full games, he got pulled 5 minutes into game 4.

 

[Sammy Kat]

Brooks? Really? He is still alive?

Guess he just finds ways to keep coming back like all the other Walking Dead spin offs.

 

[ClydeLee]

I dont get the reactions here. Who is set to be the Marlies go to goalie?

 

[Nanuuk]

Four words. Larry Brooks. Toss out.

 

[Homesick]

Murray and Elliot as a potential tandem wouldn't be bad if it was 2016

Dudes 38 and sucked the majority of his career. There's better options out there

Good thing neither are likely to be on the Leafs nhl roster this season ..

 

[I am Canadian]

The Leafs don't really currently have a #3 goalie. They likely wouldn't want to throw one of their rookies to the wolves. I can see Elliott being that guy, I doubt he'd ever be claimed on waivers.

 

[Nogatco Rd]

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

Didn’t stop them from signing Samsonov
