Why The Leafs Moved Joseph Woll In A Busy Package Deal

Toronto’s decision to move Joseph Woll did not happen in a vacuum, and the package around it says the Leafs had a larger plan in mind. When a team sends out a goalie in a multi-player deal, it usually means the front office thinks the roster balance matters more than the name value. That is especially true in Toronto, where every move gets audited like a tax return. The question now is whether the Leafs solved a problem or simply traded one headache for another.
