Injury Report: Joe Woll - High Ankle Sprain - Feb 26: Recalled from conditioning stint

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

So if Woll is back and ready to go what do we do? Because we got 3 goalies do we really waive or trade Jones? Or do we keep all 3?

Because if you waive him he's not likely to clear thistime, which means if Woll got hurt again or something happened to Samsonov your 3rd goalie becomes either a rookie in his first season in North America.

OR a 25 year old that can barely play in the AHL let alone the NHL.

The right call here appears to be keep 3 goalies

You keep 3 as long as you can but at some point Jones is probably hitting the waiver wire.

Hard to seeing them waiving Jones right now. I think they will carry all three for now, although I agree that they may have to end up waiving him to create space for another body.

 

[Primary Assist]

Wouldn't we waive Sammy? With his contract he is way less likely to be claimed. He can then be activated after the deadline or once the postseason starts so we have 3 goalies

He would not get through and that is a pretty massive gamble to risk running a Woll-Jones tandem in the playoffs. Woll and Sammy will absolutely not see waivers again this season. Jones may have to by the deadline depending on what we do.

He’s only on a one year contract, he’d get scooped up for sure.

Keep three until Woll settles in, then you might have to waive Jones.

Someone would claim Samsonov for sure, non playoff teams have nothing to lose, he’s better than Ottawas 2 guys for example and they might just do it for spite. Plenty of other scenarios around the league as well. Martin will almost certainly be the one waived if it comes down to it,

 

[Clark4Ever]

Keep Sammy. He fought his way back and deserves the chance to see it through until the end of the season whether it be as a starter, platoon or a backup.

Nah they trade him to Calgary after the Flames move Markstrom. They will need a low cost guy so they aren't forced to run .878 Wolf and .888 Vladar for the rest of the year. Maybe he can be the + in a Tanev deal

And yet still positive GSAA on the year. Most teams will be in trouble if they have to use their third stringer, but at least there is a higher probability with Jones that you might get acceptable enough goaltending to win. Having a better 3G than others, is still having a better 3G.

Would you pick Jones over Samsonov? Using 3 goalies until the playoffs hurts the team both by roster flexibility and the cap.

I think you keep 3 goalies, until such time as you find that Woll is up to playing and is fully healthy, and Samsonov can be relied on, and then you roll the dice and send him down.

The Leafs are probably going to waive Jones on deadline day. My guess is as others have already mentioned, no one will claim him post deadline because he wouldn't even be playoff eligible for a competitive team this season, and a non-competitive team will have no need for a 34 year old Martin Jones.

He essentially will just become an extra 875k in post deadline cap room, and remain the 3rd goalie on the depth chart.

 

[keonsbitterness]

If you waive a player after the deadline and he gets claimed, can he play in the playoffs for his new team?

I'm guessing yes.

Has Woll played for the Marlies yet?

 

[DarkKnight]

Has Woll played for the Marlies yet?

Last night stopped 36 of 37 and they had nine PP's. 4-1 win.

 

[Stephen]

Has Woll played for the Marlies yet?

Almost got mangled up in a pile up when Niemela cross checked a Mini Hab onto him.

 

[The Iceman]

Most goalies will win when they get 7 goals of support.

He allowed 3 bad goals IMO. If you look at xGF, he allowed 3 goals on under 2 expected goals.

I was replying to a comment that stated if Jones is our goalie we loose. I didn’t say he was Martin Brodeur in his prime.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I know this is the Joseph Woll injury thread but we know he's coming back very soon so I have to ask has their been any update on Jarnkrok?

I haven't seen anything

It's been 4 weeks since it was reported he would be out 3-4 weeks. He'll probably be back soon

 

[Strangle]

Looks like Woll has been recalled

 

[SprDaVE]

 

[ACC1224]

Excellent.
Hate to say any success this season depends on this kid but.......

 

[Evilhomer]

Give him the Arizona game as that should be light work.

 

[1specter]

He has risen

 

[TheTotalPackage]

Great news. In the end, the team's success in the playoffs will primarily hinge on him as the goalie.

As for Jones, you have to keep him around at this point, if anything, for insurance purposes. Between Samsonov's volatility, Woll's injury history, and there being little time between now and the trade deadline (let alone the price to acquire a goalie), best the team works the roster around a 3-goalie situation. He's proved more than capable -- both this season with the Leafs stepping up/in and in the past -- to hold things down for a short period of time if required.
