Michael Chekos, another big driver for the Marlies has been goaltender Archer Akhiomov, who has been getting majority of starts, over Dennis Hildeby.
What kind of luxury do you see Toronto having with, you know, two very good AHL goaltenders and then of course two NHL goaltenders in Joseph Woll and Anthony Stolarz?
it feels like if the Leafs are gonna make a deal or two to, you know, turn things around, John Cheka, he's got some, some net minding options to play with.
Yeah, we always thought like one of the goalies is gonna be gone this summer, whether it's, you know, Woll or Stolarz, but right, maybe it's both.
Maybe they'll get rid of both guys and say, "Hey, Hildeby and, AA."
And I like saying AA because I'm not gonna say- I was gonna say, we're gonna have to use it.
Artie Yeah.
Or, or Artie.
Yeah.
Perfect.
You know, we gotta get a nickname for this guy.
Yeah.
But maybe you got your two future NHL goalies, playing with the Marlies right now.
You can afford to get rid of Woll and Stolarz.
I, I still think it's just gonna be one of them this year, but definitely, you need some strength in that.
And I think if you look at why the Leafs were where they are this year, like there's a, a litany of reasons, but one of the big reasons was they just didn't get that consistent goaltending from Stolarz or Woll, all season long.
the other thing I'll just kind of piggyback on what Mike said is it is refreshing that an Easton Cowan is having a, a great playoffs because, you know, it's, it's not exciting when the 30 plus year olds are having a good Calder Cup playoffs.
It's like, well, who cares?
They're, they're veterans, they're lifers in the AHL, no offense to them, but you know, you wanna see your Easton Cowans and your young guys like a, a Benoit Groulx.
You, you want these guys having, a good playoffs because it gives you hope.
And same thing with AA
