If it’s my Leafs team next year Woll is not the answer.

What would you do with him?
He is out of options so playing in the AHL is not an option.
6-1 with the Leafs with a .932 save%
6 straight wins to end the regular season.
16-4 .927 save% with the Marlies.
Seems like an obvious 1B @ $766,667.00 cap hit.

And he didn't suck in the playoffs either.
Although I think he was a little bit shell-shocked when he had to go from the Leafs' defense to the Marlies defense. Even with the Leafs defense playing like crap, they are still a lot better than the Marlies.

Sammy and Woll
or
Trade Sammy for a 2nd and 4th rd pk
Trade for Swayman 4 mil RFA Bost for a 2 and 4th rd pk
Boston can't afford to sign him
Woll as the back up
Sammy or Swayman who is the better goaltender
Although Swayman is maybe the more attractive option in between the pipes, I think there is something to be said about Sammy's temperament. He really seems to love the attention, or at the very least doesn't mind it. That is by no means me trying to insinuate he is an egomaniac and loves talking about himself. He just handles the media in Toronto so well. He never seems to get too worked up. He just works his bag off, and have some smile.
We have had some talented goalies over the years, but when push came to shove they crumbled under the pressure of the market. Not trying to suggest Sammy didn't have his bad games in big moments, but it never seemed to be because the moment was too big for him. It was always just what appeared to be a random off night. One that he usually bounced back from
I'm surprised Snowden wasn't promoted to head coach.

Probably going to let the new GM bring their own guys in.

...yet. Probably because he has a contract. The coaches weren't technically fired, their contracts weren't renewed.

Oh I thought they were actually fired. Contract statuses of coaches in the AHL are not exactly clear.

I liked that Hardy wasn't stubborn on Moore because of their past history. Hardy before the season said his expectation was a deep playoff run, and that didn't happen. You wonder if Dubas had stayed on, would Moore still be let go and honestly I think yes. Surprised the assistants were let go too though.

MacLean never did anything to stand out. Seems like he was always just carried (or let down) by whoever was head coach. I guess that is better than being actively bad, but we could have easily aimed higher than him.
Snowden had success with Newfoundland, but I think we are seeing that it is not exactly a difficult gig. Eric Wellwood is doing pretty well down there too.
‘Well-rounded’ Leafs prospect Fraser Minten enters the Memorial Cup circle
Minten feels he is faster, more physical, more confident, but he won’t predict when he’ll join the Leafs.

“He's incredibly intelligent,” Clouston said of Minten. “There's a lot of conversation and talk nowadays about emotional intelligence. To me, that part of it is off the charts as well."
“He is a very interesting person. He plays the piano. He speaks French. He's not your typical, run-of-the-mill hockey player. He's very well-rounded. And he is a late bloomer. He was good at 16. He outpaced expectations at 17. And he continues to find ways to improve his game.”
Fraser Minten, a hair under six-foot-two and about 190 pounds, centres a middle-six line with Daylan Kuefler and Connor Levis, supporting the top line of Logan Stankoven, Matthew Seminoff and Caedan Bankier. Minten is also on the second power play unit and is a top penalty killer.
With the Leafs and Marlies gone from their playoffs, there are few players left for Leafs fans to cheer. Timothy Liljegren is with the Swedish team at the world championship. And the Newfoundland Growlers are alive in the ECHL playoffs.
But Minten represents the future. He had 31 goals and 36 assists in 57 regular-season games for Kamloops, outstripping his 20-goal, 55-point season that led to the Leafs drafting him 38th last summer.
“I think my game has developed in lots of different ways,” he said. “I feel as though I've gotten faster as a player, stronger, more sturdy, more physical, especially. That's one area I really put some emphasis on this season. Getting some more hits, winning more battles, using my body whether it be faceoffs or in the corners or at the net front."
“I think offensively I've gotten more confident as well, developed my shot. And then the other stuff, I think playmaking and hockey sense was something that was a strength before and has continued to be strong for me.”
Minten doesn't want to think beyond the next 10 days in Kamloops. But he will be at Leafs rookie camp this summer, and likely will be invited to Canada's world junior training camp for the 2024 event in Sweden this winter. He said his first Leafs training camp taught him a great deal.
......................
Clouston believes Minten will be top quality NHLer one day.
“I think he has the potential to be a top-six forward. Could he get a top three at some point? Possibly. I would never count that out,” the coach said. “But he's going to be a guy that, no matter what is his role is, he's going to embrace it and be the best version of that."
“I mean, if he needs to spend a year in the American league, he'll do it and he'll figure out a way to get better. If he needs to play on the fourth line or the third line, he'll embrace that. And he'll do it to the best of his abilities and figure out a way to be really effective with that. But, given time, he'll find a way to be a top-six guy, for sure.”
How close does Minten think he is to being an NHL player?
“I would love to give you an answer that gives you a timeline of exactly how many years,” he said. “But I have no idea. I haven't made it or gotten close enough to make it yet. So I can't answer that specifically."
“I know there's always people watching and evaluating, so I try to put my absolute best foot forward and play every area of the game as best as I can. I trust that they'll tell me when I'm ready. So just doing what I can and then whenever they think I'm ready — or if they ever do think I'm ready — then I'd be honoured to get a spot there and try to maintain it.”

This thread remains a positive and light read amongst all the gloom and doom in the Leafs Forum.
Thanks for keeping the light on for us.....
Awesome to see and good articles above.
I'll be cheering for the Pete's though.
Ex Leafs prospect Kristians Rubins with the tying goal and then the OT winning goal for Latvia for their first ever World Championships medal. Nice.
Martins Dzierkals also on the team.
