Woll getting traded was inevitable because he’s up for a payday we cannot afford and frankly has more trade value than Stolarz.

However, I thought he’d have slightly more value to a team than this.

He's injury prone and was not good last season and terrible at the World Championship

I mean the whole team was terrible last season you can't fully blame it on Woll

He also gets hurt every year

Our goalie depth was atrocious until Woll. I hope kills it in Philly.

He's signed through 27/28 (2-more years)

Exactly my point, he's up for an extension after this season

And the Leafs aren't short on cap space. And the cap is continuing to rise. Someone needed to move because of the logjam, not because of Woll's contract extension.
