The Leafs have a logjam forming in net between Stolarz, Woll and the emerging Dennis Hildeby, with Artur Akhtyamov also showing promise in the AHL during the team’s run to the Calder Cup Final. If you have to move one netminder from the stable: Stolarz is the oldest, the most expensive, has the worst injury history and played the poorest of the group this season. Could that make him the odd man out? On the flip side, all those traits might give him the lowest trade value among Toronto’s tenders.

The Leafs and new GM John Chayka find themselves in quite the quagmire with Rielly. He’s no longer the puck-moving defenseman they need him to be. He’s not a $7.5-million player despite his scoring contributions and leadership. The team would likely be better off moving on from him – but he controls whether he goes at all via his NMC, and his trade value isn’t particularly high given the performance doesn’t match the price tag. The savings would be significant on a buyout, but eight years paying him would be tough to stomach.
