Leafs want no part of that deal. People seem to forget we are in a tough spot because Woll has a high ankle sprain and is our starter. We just need a 1B goalie who can make a save as Samsonov is unplayable. When Woll comes back he will be our starter again

Im not saying Markstrom is the answer, but Leafs need a long term solution in goals.

Woll could be it, but Campbell and Samsonov both looked great in one season. Whats the difference?

Compared to Samsonov, it would make a huge difference to have a .905 goalie vs a 0.864. The difference between losing and winning games.
Who is saying Samsonov doesn't suck too?

Leafs don't need to move around deck chairs on the titanic.

I also think Allen for Samsonov make a lot of sense. Pair Allen with Woll next year.
Compensation to habs to figure out

You have no idea who Woll is do you?

Mrazek, Pickard, M.Jones, Merzlikins, Reimer, and Raycroft are just a few names that had better stats to start their careers over more games than Woll has played thus far. Some of them on the Leafs! lol

Reality is Woll is a 25yr old former 3rd rounder that's looked good in the 26 games he's started in the NHL. He's basically a lottery ticket at this point, just like those guys were. Some work out, and others don't. Only time will tell.

Woll has something those guys don't have and that is a solid foundation. Woll is mostly just sound positionally and in good technical form. Makes a lot of saves just by being big and in a good spot. Those goalies could never settle in like that.

But he also has the flexibility and skill to make crazy saves when needed.

Samsonov’s career arc and recent implosion has made me think - how many goaltenders in the last 10 years genuinely deserved to be drafted in the first round?

He also has high ankle sprain and is out for another month, to add to his impressive injury list. Not a starter foundation.

Hey the rest of us are fine if you guys choose a worse goalie over better alternatives, even if those alternatives suck.
