The Toronto Maple Leafs need  a  starting goaltender to compete for a Stanley Cup next season.

When you look at the Toronto Maple Leafs roster, they have firepower, but do they have enough in net to be able to compete for a championship? Year-after-year, they continue to lose in the First Round, but how much of that has to do with goaltending?

When you look back at this year’s season, goaltending was a problem, but it was mostly due to health.

Jack Campbell started the majority of games, but he also went through some injury struggles. However, the biggest issue was with Petr Mrazek’s health.

Mrazek was supposed to be the 1B to Campbell’s 1A and was supposed to provide between 30-40 starts and help Campbell rest. Instead, Campbell played too much and it probably was a reason why he suffered injuries down the stretch.

After an incredible start to the season that helped him nod his first NHL All-Star appearance, his game struggled and a lot of that had to do with the amount of games he was playing. Being a starting goaltender for the first time in his career is much different than being a back-up, so it was a huge lesson learned and he should only get better from there.

Here are three goaltenders that would give the Toronto Maple Leafs a chance at winning a Stanley Cup next season:
