The MapleLeafs must be in the market for a backup goalie and may have to pay a premium to acquire one. Who could they target? RoryBoylen looks at 10 potential netminders ⤵️

Toronto Maple LeafsEven Frederik Andersen couldn’t save them in Toronto’s most recent two-games-in-two-days stretch, starting both halves for the first time since 2017. The Leafs still haven’t won the second game of these back-to-back situations yet this season.

The Leafs can’t go on like this. Andersen can’t be leaned on to play in the neighbourhood of 65 gamesThe Maple Leafs must be in the market for a backup goalie and, at this point, may have to pay a premium to do it. Part of the Leafs’ thinking for pushing forward with Hutchinson is that he has a .905 career NHL save percentage, so odds would indicate a bounce back towards that number is due. But Toronto is today outside of a playoff spot, with the league’s 25th-ranked points percentage and with Andersen on pace for a career-high workload. Eventually, the GM must strike to make the bleeding stop, before it’s too late.
