Holy f***, it’s actually happening

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Is he going to be sent down and that big Swedish goalie comes up, or is it just more of a message sending statement ?

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Is Hildeby being recalled?

If so could be a huge opportunity for the kid.

He must be. There are no other options at this point. Unless a trade is imminent.

Rolling with jones and Woll for a bit now

 

[Dion TheFluff]

wow! I wonder if another move is coming or if Hildeby is being recalled?

Woll is injured and is reportedly still another month away from game action.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Any chance this could be a prelude to a trade?

Leafs are going nowhere.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Woll is injured and is reportedly still another month away from game action.

Understood and thanks.

Hilarious to see how bad Samsonov has been this year for the Leafs after all of the shit Leafs fans threw at Dubas for signing Jarry last off-season.

 

[DickSmehlik]

Toronto may as well play 6 on 5 the entire game than start another game with Samsonov in net.

Better pray nothing happens to Jarry. Dubas has shown he can't evaluate goaltending at all.

Why?

Yeah, they were almost as bad as Pen fans were shitting on Dubas after the signing

Everyone was. Most of them were Pens fans.

 

[robertmac43]

What a mess.

 

[Jacob]

Ouch.

Nedjelkovic's stats are even better than Jarry's this year, and Dubas brought him in last year in addition to re-signing Jarry.

The reality is that non-elite goalies are voodoo and can be wildly inconsistent year to year. There is no real skill in being able to "evalute" goalies of that caliber, they can be anything from terrific to horrible. I think Nedjelkovic is a perfect example of this, he went from a Calder finalist to a bad starter for Detroit to now a terrific 1B for the Penguins. Samsonov is in the same boat.

I feel like the Leafs have not had a legitimately reliable starting goalie since Andersen. They just keep rotating through these Nedjelkovic and Samsonov caliber guys and hoping they can stick for a cheap price, which is great when it works but it blows up miserably when it doesn't work.

A trade has to be happening right?

Even with his struggles, no way Toronto sends Samsonov down with Woll still injured.

Or they call up the big Swede

 

[sansabri]

the giant goalie grinding machine strikes again

 

[waitin425]

Least surprising thing I've read all day.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

You can waive a goalie and not send him down.

Carolina literally just did this with Raanta.
