And in wich kind of team they was playing with?Why are you assuming Hart and Gibson will be upgrades? Hart has had a sub 0.910 save % for three straight years (and his expected goals stats aren't putting him in the top 10 either), and Gibson has had even worse stats.
That's the entire point of my post - why switch from Samsanov to another goalie, unless it's a Hellebuyck/Saros type of bona fide proven top starter? Hart and Gibson are just as big a question mark as Samsanov, except we'd have to trade assets to get them (and in Gibson's case, take on a big risky long contract)
I will give you 1 exemple... Bobrovsky had been fantastic in playoff... he allower 4 goal last 2 game not because he was ba but not able to make more even miracle and hide panthers bad dIts just so important a goalie come playoff
Only one conference finalist didn't had his goalie in top 5 sv% ( oetinger)
Last year 3 of best 6 was conference finalist
Same in 2020 and the 2 finalist probably had the 2 best goalie of playoff
Samsonov was not good at all in playoff except 1 game where he was excellent... he gave up 1 weak goal every game he played except 1. If you want to win in playoff, it can happen every game!!!
Woll still a young goalie who still have everything to prove
Hellebuyck, Gibson, Hart 3 top 15 goalie in NHL available at the same time, if leafs just watching the parade, they're a huge possibility than leafs come back next summer in research again of a new goaltender and all the big name will be off the table
Looks like a team thats probably tanking again. And looking for guys to eat up the cap
Why are we talking about Hart? Or any goaltender for that matter?
We have a ton of holes in the forward group to fill and I'm not in love with our defensive makeup either
The UFA class is pretty grim and we've used a lot of assets recently going for it
When I look at our team I think our limited resources (cap, picks and prospects) need to go towards improving the skaters rather than the goaltending because that's where we can get the most improvement imo
Bobrovsky hasn't been good the last two games... He's basically a guy who hasn't been good for a long time, and went on a what... 12 game heater, and then back to normal.I will give you 1 exemple... Bobrovsky had been fantastic in playoff... he allower 4 goal last 2 game not because he was ba but not able to make more even miracle and hide panthers bad d
His sv drop from 0,935 to 0,925 in only 2 game where he was not bad but was resulting of the bad team in front of him.. imagine this scenario happening again and again during a full season...
Bobrovsky is easily the best g of 2023 but watch his stats, its not whats stats saying
With Athanasiou getting paid the way he did, and same goes to Gavrikov. What does that mean for guys like Kerfoot/Kampf/ROR/Bunting.

Translation: a new GM means the Leafs will be linked to every big name out there so we can get clicks

Nothing really. Some guys get overpaid sometimes... like AA. I don't think the Gavrikov deal is that bad.
How Kerfoot/Kampf/RoR/Bunting get paid depends on a number of factors. If they narrow down where they want to play, and are willing to take what is offered there, and then what the demand is for someone who plays their position, versus the number of similar players. Higher end guys always get more... and then the rest... not so much. Bunting will be an interesting one.
I watched the games. He wasn't good. Poor enough he got pulled last game. You really need to take your blinders off, if you think he's been good the last two games.Watch the highlight, how many player all alone in the slot
-Howden breakaway
-Pietrangeli all alone from circle middle ice
-Stone all alone in front the net with at least 3-4 second to do whatever he want
-marchessault all alone goal
-barbashev in slot side of net
-Stone took a great shot when he slidding right in middle of the slot.
-eichel all alone, can control puck enough to take a clean shot
-theodore from middle of d boxes with screen ---goal
-amaizing save vs pietrangelo all alone from circle
-2v1 stephenson all alone and take a good shot stop, bring back the puck send to whitecloud whos scored...
-stone intercept the pass all alone in the slot
11 time in the game, florida let a guy in extreme dangerous area free to tske a shot... outside of their 2 goal they had 2 scoring chance of thst quality... this game could easily finished like 8-2
Gm 2 let watch goal he allowed... marchessault,all alone from faceoff circle with stone screen...
Goal 2 same thing martinez all alone from fo circle with his own d creating a screen
goal 3 roy skating with the puck from the corner to the slot free and again his own D screen Bobrosvky who never had a chance to see the puck
goal 4 howden breaway and amaizing play.. .
player free from fo circle with screen, he had no chance...
You will need to show me WHERE he was bad... maybe whitecloud goal after totally stole like 7 goal ...
It was not about Bobrosvky, its just about how trash again flirida D had been and Bobrovsky was not able to stole as much he did previous series...
Agreed with all of it.![]()
Samsonov, Woll give Maple Leafs bright outlook in goal, no Hart required
Amid speculation the Maple Leafs might have interest in Flyers goalie Carter Hart, remember they have two capable men in the crease now.torontosun.com
The Maple Leafs don’t need to trade for goaltender Carter Hart.
In Ilya Samsonov, the Leafs have a goalie who remains on an upward trajectory after getting his netminding house in order this past season.
In Joseph Woll, the Leafs have a goalie who has made it clear he is ready for a full-time job in the National Hockey League, whether that’s as a backup or in a tandem role.
The Philadelphia Flyers, under rookie general manager Daniel Briere, are in rebuild mode, kicking off their new era with the trading of defenceman Ivan Provorov to Columbus in a three-team deal on Tuesday.
Hart could be next to leave Philly, and there’s going to be plenty of interest in a goalie who will turn 25 this summer but already has five seasons in the NHL on his resume. The thinking is Brad Treliving made a call on Hart, which should not be a surprise nor lead anyone to believe that the new Leafs GM is on the cusp of making a trade with Briere.
As he settles into his role with Toronto, Treliving naturally will want to put feelers out with his colleagues across the NHL. One would expect as much.
If the Leafs were to trade for Hart, presumably that would involve giving up at least a first-round pick. The Leafs have some restocking of the farm system to do themselves — Kyle Dubas didn’t leave an organization rich in prospects — and as it is already don’t have a first-round pick in 2025, traded with conditions to Chicago in the deal that brought Jake McCabe and Sam Lafferty to Toronto in February.
Furthermore, trading Matthew Knies when the young winger has proven he will be an everyday player next season, with a bright future no less, would be foolish.
The Leafs would have no guarantee that Hart, who is under contract for one more year with a $3.9-million cap hit before becoming a restricted free agent, would be any better than what they have now in Samsonov. The latter was one of the top goalies in the NHL in 2022-23, posting a .919 save percentage, good for seventh overall. Hart, admittedly playing on a poor Flyers team, had a .907 save percentage, putting him at 24th in that category.
There’s something else to consider. Hart was part of the 2018 Canadian junior team that awaits the report of the investigation of the alleged group sexual assault involving players on that team. Hockey Canada barred players from that team from playing for Canada the world championship this past spring in Latvia.
Until the report is released, teams might not want to trade for players who were on that Canadian junior team, no matter who it is.
Fact is, the Leafs aren’t in scramble mode to improve their goaltending. The issue of Matt Murray and his contract needs to be cleared up, as getting his $4.7-million cap hit (for one more season) off the books would be prudent on the part of Treliving.
Samsonov improved technically in his first year under the guidance of Leafs goaltending coach Curtis Sanford, and from a mental standpoint, Samsonov also took steps. There has been no reason to believe that improvement won’t continue next season.
A good goalie can hide a lot of hole everywhere in the line # bobrovsky, price, shesterkins, Vasilevskiy
Florida d was awful all playoff long , they let guy all alone in the slot all playoff long but was looking good and even great for some people because of miracle by Bobrosvky...
If we watch expected goal against/game we are close of 4 goal at 3,9 ( the worst of 16 playoff team), exemple tampa was at 3.83 goal allowef/ gm vs leafs ... expected goal/60 played at 3,53... (15th, only rangers had been worst) ... but they are 6th for goal against,so make everyone around him looking better
You seem to be using the elite of the elite and a guy who's been on a month long unsustainable heater as examples of what we should be looking for
We can't afford to get the elite of the elite and one of our guys could get hot at the right time to
One thing I do know is if our skaters are sub par and we have obvious flaws throughout the lineup this goaltender better be bloody good because that's going to take some covering up
