[Andrew Piluck Hockey] Will the Maple Leafs goalies be good enough?

It’s a little bit of an unknown, as Woll has never been a starter, but I think they will be ok. There’s enough talent in the tandem, plus a 3rd option if we can keep Murray fit, to grind out a good number of wins. My ONLY concern is how Woll will deal with the physical aspects of being a starter. That’s the ‘unknown’, for me, but the talent is there.
Stolarz has shown he can be a strong backup, and woll has shown he has the ability to be a legit number 1 goalie in small, healthy spurts. I have to imagine they are working with woll all summer to figure out how to train out of getting injured all the time. I hope he can be the guy because that contract gives us so much flexibility having our number 1 goalie under 4 mil.
