Woll is signed for one more season at a bargain $766k cap hit and would’ve been an RFA at the end of the deal, meaning the Leafs would be buying two UFA seasons with a three-year contract extension.
The reported framework would be similar to that of Woll’s former USA teammate and friend Jake Oettinger in Dallas, who signed Oettinger to a three-year, $4 million contract under a $82.5 million cap back in September of 2022. Unlike Woll, whose career high is 25 NHL games (set in 2023-24), Oettinger broke through earlier in his 20s and was coming off a promising 48-game regular season followed by a very strong seven-game playoff series against Calgary at the time of signing.
