Goaltending

Both Joseph Woll and Kasmir Kaskisuo have a shot at making the bubble, we know for sure one of them will make it and possibly both of them as Dubas stated the Toronto Maple Leafs will bring 3 or 4 goalies.

Kaskisuo is basically an AHL goaltender at best, at 26 years old it’s hard to believe he will ever be of NHL caliber.

Kaskisuo is a fine AHL starter and even played a game for the Leafs this season which did not go too well, but it wasn’t his fault at all. I don’t expect much out of Kaskisuo, however as the third-string goalie you have to just hope you won’t have to use him.

Joseph Woll is the Leafs hope in net for the future.

Woll didn’t have the greatest first pro season in the AHL for the Marlies posting a meager .880 save percentage.

He is 22 years old, and the organization has a lot of hope for him.  He is known for being calm in his net, positionally sound, and can move well for his large frame.

He has the potential to be an NHLer and maybe the Leafs use this extra training time as a learning experience for him.

If Woll somehow suddenly looks better than Kaskisuo in training camp I am sure the Leafs will bring him on and he can be like a black ace for the team as Kyle Dubas had pointed out during the press conference.
