NHL Rumors: Toronto Maple Leafs, Their Goaltending, and the Top 30 Trade Bait Board
@35Ayres · 2h Got my 10 year old all the way to school today, he hopped out of the truck and yelled “oh no! I forgot my lunch!” Just before I blew a gasket on him, he said “April Fools!” Found it as good a time as any to tell him I wasn’t his real mother.

Options for the Maple Leafs in net if they decide they need to add

Luke Fox of Sportsnet: Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Frederik Andersen hasn’t skated in almost two weeks. Jack Campbell has filled in admirably.

Maple Leafs GM Kyle Dubas is focusing on a top-six forward, but they currently have two goaltenders that are a little banged. If one ends up happening to go on the LTIR, they’d need to find another goaltender.

Emily Sadler of Sportsnet: Elliotte Friedman on Sportsnet 960 Frederik Andersen the Toronto Maple Leafs goalie situation.

“At this point in time, they don’t believe Andersen’s injury — whatever it is — is season-ending. So, that’s No. 1. No. 2, what I understand they’ve told other teams is, ‘we don’t have a ton of cap room and we’re not burning it on a goalie unless we absolutely have to.’ So, the fact they’re not running out and saying, ‘I gotta get a goalie,’ says to me that they believe Andersen is coming back.”
