Toronto Maple Leafs sign goalie of the future Joseph Woll
The Toronto Maple Leafs are poised to secure goaltender Joseph Woll with a substantial three-year contract.
The deal, which oscillates between $3.5 million and $4 million annually, marks a significant step for Woll, who is transitioning from being a restricted free agent with just 39 games under his belt in the NHL.
I'm told the Maple Leafs are closing in on 3Yr Contract Extension (July 1st) for G Woll in the neighborhood between $ 3.5M - $4M AAV.
Scheduled for announcement on July 1, the start of free agency, this contract is generating buzz and some skepticism alike. Given Woll's relatively brief stint in the NHL�totaling 43 games�the decision to offer a deal nearing $4 million per annum is viewed by some as a hefty gamble.
Despite his limited exposure at the NHL level, Woll has occasionally demonstrated potential to rank among the elite goaltenders, especially noted during challenging playoff scenarios. Yet, the hefty financial commitment by the Maple Leafs is seen as a bold move, betting big on his future performance.

This contract not only reflects the Maple Leafs' confidence in Woll's capabilities but also highlights their strategy to stabilize their goaltending roster. As the team gears up for the upcoming seasons, all eyes will be on Woll to see if he can live up to the expectations set by this high-stakes agreement.
