5 Back-up Goalies the Toronto Maple Leafs Should Trade For

On Wednesday, the Toronto Maple Leafs dropped yet another game in a back-to-back.

The Toronto Maple Leafs dropped both games during this back-to-back, against both the Philadelphia Flyers and the Colorado Avalanche. The difference this time was that Freddie Andersen played both games.

Although Andersen didn’t play like he hoped, he is not to blame. The fact that he had to play two nights in a row is the issue here.

Whether or not he lost the first game, going into the second game with a tired goalie is a recipe for failure.

But the Toronto Maple Leafs had no choice. The main problem here is Michael Hutchinson, the Leafs backup goalie. The Leafs seem to finally have lost faith in him after going winless in all six of his starts, despite being given second chances. Wednesday’s game was just proof that the Leafs would rather play a tired Andersen over a well-rested Hutchinson.

It seems like there’s no other solution to the Leafs backup woes except to find a replacement, ASAP. So let’s take a look at five backup goalies the Leafs could target right now by trade.
