The Toronto Maple Leafs have a small hiccup with three goalies on their roster going into the 2023-24 NHL Season.

Joseph Woll has become the most important goalie in the Toronto Maple Leafs organization and he has now reached the point that he would have to clear waivers to be sent to the Marlies.

There is not a chance that Woll clears waivers, so that means the team will have to make a decision on Ilya Samsonov and Matt Murray heading into the season.

Murray has one-year left on his contract that carries a cap hit with the team of just under $4.7 Million, while Samsonov is currently a restricted free agent and has more of a future.

If the team goes into the season with all three goalies in the organization they could put Murray on waivers and send him to the Marlies.  If he does not get claimed, $1.15M would be saved meaning the team would be left with just under $3.54M against the cap (credit: Capfriendly.com).
