The Toronto Maple Leafs have some critical decisions to make regarding their goaltending roster. Contrary to rumours suggesting the team should trade for a high-cost goalie like Linus Ullmark from the Boston Bruins, a more sensible approach would be to re-sign either Martin Jones or Matt Murray—or both—on inexpensive contracts. Youngster Joseph Woll has shown that he can carry the team, and the players respond well to his presence in the net. Pursuing an expensive goalie would not only disrupt Woll's development but also strain the team's budget unnecessarily.
