Stolarz was the steal of the off-season. He'll be amazing for us this year.

It is a risk but do they need him. Is he a 3rd liner?

Also, pre-season. He is playing for a spot or a trade against a lot of guys playing to not get hurt. We'll see where he is after 20 games on the 3rd line...

And the guys he’s competing with are also playing against the same players. I’ve only watched bits and pieces but he’s been better than the guys he has to beat out for a spot. In the shifts I saw tonight he was working his ass off on both ends of the ice.

If he sucks 20 games in, deal with it then but for now it seems like he’s earned a spot.

I'm one of those clowns. He clearly wants out, he will not be back year, and he's playing really hot. Package him with Lilly to get rid of that cap hit and get a legit 3C.

Agreed.

He’s getting better minutes right now than he will in the regular season. Tonight is a great example he was on the tip line no? Definitely not 3rd line - which to me shows he’s probably got to play top 6 on a team to give and. He just isn’t going to get that in Toronto IMO.

It’s wild that we can say the Toronto Maple Leafs have some of the best goaltending depth in the league.

They obviously lack a star / stud starter but they have young guys with lots of potential.

If Woll pans out to be an average or better starter who can stay healthy this whole thing could work out white nicely.

Watching the extended YouTube highlights and I'm falling asleep. Was the game really this boring? Jesus.

He bagged 14 in 56 games last year ...playing 11 minutes a night with bottom 6 types. When healthy he's always outscored his contemporaries.

The truth is he's always been a very good offensive player. He'll bag 15, or 20, or more ...depending on whether he gets minutes and PP time and where he plays in the lineup.

Can he play both ends well enough ...that's the real question.

If some team puts a 1st or something good on the table ...sure, move him. If not ..we need him.

I don’t think the Leafs need him to be honest, sure the goals would be nice but is he even willing to stay after this year?


Could they just use a younger guy on an ELC etc?

I would trade him in a package with Lilly at this point.

Call me an idiot if you like but for comparison sake I think he could score at a rate similar to Caulfield. If he got 20 mins a night and PP 1 all year like Caulfield (career high 28 goals) it wouldn't be that outrageous. And Montreal fans are convinced he's a star. Robertson at league minimum is tremendous value. He's probably worth more to them this year than anything they'd get in a trade.

He has either earned a shot or a trade.
