After signing Petr Mrazek to a three-year deal at a $3.8 million cap hit last year, there’s certainly room for improvement this time around. Toronto is one of few true contenders with major questions at the game’s most important position, and there’s a good chance that they acquire more than one goalie.
With just three picks in the 2022 NHL Draft, the free-agent route is an attractive option for the Leafs. They’ll need to move picks or prospects in order to trade Mrazek, and they’ll want to save some draft capital to help them at next year’s trade deadline.
