Quality Goalie Remains a Free Agent and Taking a Chance on Him Could Benefit the Leafs

Although the Maple Leafs have Anthony Stolarz and Joseph Woll in goal once again for the upcoming season, their depth at the position took a hit when they lost their veteran insurance policy in Matt Murray this summer.

The 2-time Stanley Cup champ signed a one-year deal on July 1st with the Seattle Kraken, leaving the Leafs without an experienced number 3.

Through the draft, the Leafs have rebuilt their goaltending depth with the likes of Artur Akhtyamov, Vyacheslav Peksa and Dennis Hildeby -- the latter of which remains unsigned. Akhtyamov and Peksa have yet to play a game in the NHL while Hildeby has just six career NHL games.

The lack of NHL experience beyond Stolarz and Woll is of concern given the injury history of the NHL duo.

The goaltending market is relatively thin, but former Colorado Avalanche goaltender Alexandar Georgiev is still looking for a new team after ending last season with the San Jose Sharks.

The 28-year-old hasn't performed at his best the past couple of seasons -- posting .897 and .875 save percentages, but with a solid defensive team in front of him like the one in Toronto, he could be a viable option to provide the Leafs with some starts if called upon. He could also give the Leafs a bit of an insurance policy in case Stolarz wants too much money on his next deal.
