It’s no secret that it’s been a long time since the Leafs have had a good pipeline of goalies. The last home-grown goalie they developed who was NHL-capable was Reimer and Scrivens. Sparks at least made the NHL, but wasn’t great. Ditto Bibeau or Kaskisuo.
They do now have Akhtyamov, who is doing well over in Russia, but outside of him we just have question marks. Woll struggled his rookie year in the AHL, and Ian Scott hasn’t been healthy since the 1920’s.
What can be done to fix this?
Well, Dubas helped by swinging a trade to acquire Veini Vehvilainen from Columbus, who is kind of in the Woll-situation as far as struggling since coming to the AHL but has good numbers in Europe before that.
