CarltonTheBear said:Still think the best thing for him would be to compete for a starters role somewhere in the KHL next season, but with that possibly not being an option I guess may as well bring him here. Just don't know where or how often he'll play.

Woll
UFA Goalie
NHL Third (Matt Murray in my mind)
Den Hildeby
Vyacheslav Peksa
Artur Akhtyamov
Luke Cavallin
Keith Petruzzelli (RFA) don't know if he re-signs to a Marlies deal
CarltonTheBear said:I think it's probably fair to assume Petruzzeli won't be getting another NHL deal. Dryden McKay and Luke Cavallin's 2-year AHL deals would also be expiring now I believe. I'd guess between those 3 only one of them returns for ECHL minutes (which of course has yet to be determined but difficult to see the Leafs go without an affiliate there).

L K said:Are we against giving Dennis Hildeby a chance to play NHL games in the event of injury this year. Last year the argument was that he's a rookie and you don't want to rush him. His stats dropped off a bit in the 2nd half (sitting as the backup for a few weeks without playing probably didn't help) but a .913 SV% on a pretty mediocre Marlies team over 41 games. I'm not sure that I would want him to be the #3 guy unless we sign a really solid backup/1B to go with Woll but it's not like he's an 18 year old. He'll be 23 at the start of the year.
CarltonTheBear said:I wouldn't necessarily be afraid to play Hildeby for a game or two (and think the Leafs should have given him one when he was called up this past season) but the potential for Woll to miss an extended period of time due to his injury history makes me nervous about having to rely on him as a back-up to whatever 1B we get for a month or more.

Agreed. A spot start here or there is okay, but unless he really shines in the AHL, I don't think an extended period on the NHL roster is a good idea yet.

Glad to see Clifford sticking around. Crazy to think he's only 33 years old with all the miles on his body (was a full time NHLer/goon at 19). All things considered he put up a pretty respectable AHL season last year (10 goals, 28 points in 54 games).
