In net, the whole position was obviously an unknown. Jack Campbell was an unrestricted free agent and Petr Mrazek was coming off of a nightmare first season in Toronto. Both are in the other conference now. Logically, betting on any two goalies in the league that have flashed ability/shown some form of extended success in their careers to better the Leafs’ 27th-ranked 5v5 save percentage last season seems reasonable. They aren’t exactly asking their new tandem to be great – only decent, or dare we say it, solid. Worse bets have been made.
That said, question marks about Matt Murray don’t only surround his play but his ability to stay healthy.
