Louis Domingue, New Jersey Devils
2019-20 stats: 1 W, 2 L, .870 Sv%
Domingue is an interesting case.
He played good with Tampa Bay backing up Andrei Vasilevskiy last season with a 2.88 GAA and a .908 Save percentage.
He has some quality NHL experience and at $1.150 million for the rest of this season, it’s not the worst contract to take a shot at.
The Devils are 30th in the league with no shot at making the playoffs, so the Leafs already should have some negotiation room if they pursue him. I expect he wouldn’t cost much at all.
At this point, the Leafs taking a chance on him could be beneficial. Hutchinson clearly isn’t working out, so might as well just try to shake things up with a goalie who has found NHL success in the past.
