Joseph Woll

Woll is a talented netminder, but talent is irrelevant if you can't stay on the ice. The 26-year-old has played just 36 NHL games over the last three seasons (37 AHL). If healthy, Woll could deliver a top-12 performance behind a vastly improved Leafs blue line and a high-scoring offense. He's an above-average netminder with the kind of unflappable vibe that's needed in Toronto. He's shown periods of elite play, he went 6-1-0 with a 2.16 GAA and .932 save percentage in limited games in 2022-23, but fantasy managers need to use caution with Woll until he can stay out of the infirmary. The Leafs will be focusing on his off-ice work in an attempt to keep him healthy. They brought in elite backup, Anthony Stolarz, to be Woll's NBo. 2. Make sure you have a lot of net options if you take the plunge with Woll.

Woll appeared in seven games for the Leafs a year ago, mostly late in the season, and was brilliant, finishing with a 6-1-0 record, a 2.16 GAA and a .932 save percentage. He also appeared in what would be Toronto's final three postseason games against the Panthers, again playing well (2.36 GAA, .921 save percentage). Originally a third-round pick of the team in 2016, Woll really struggled at the AHL level prior to 2022-23, making his mini-breakout all the more shocking. Ilya Samsonov will be back as Toronto's No. 1 goaltender while the Maple Leafs signed veteran Martin Jones to a one-year deal to compete with Woll for the backup job. All things considered, it's a battle the Boston College product should win.
