Both Frederik Andersen and David Rittich are set to hit free agency, and there isn’t an NHL-ready goalie prospect on the Marlies. Jack Campbell is the clear starter heading into next season, but he’s yet to play 40 games in an NHL season. The Leafs will certainly need a strong backup option.
Toronto’s front office will need to determine how much they are willing to spend on the goaltending position. The team has other needs to fill — particularly up front — and every extra dollar they spend on goaltending is a dollar less to spend elsewhere.
