According to Elliotte Friedman, the Toronto Maple Leafs and Anthony Stolarz are closing in on an extension worth around $4-million per season.
On Sunday morning it was revealed that the Toronto Maple Leafs and goaltender Anthony Stolarz are working on an extension, after weeks of speculation and rumors about when or if he will sign.
The news was broken by NHL Insider Elliotte Friedman on X, who also noted that the extension could be coming later on Sunday although that isn’t 100% guaranteed as of this writing.
Friedman mentioned the extension talks during last night’s Montreal/Toronto preseason clash, and it looks like progress has been made swimmingly.
Stolarz posted a 21-8-3 record for the team last year with a 2.14 GAA and .926 SV%; he signed a two-year $5-million extension during the 2024 offseason.
It sounds like the fan reaction to the news is also very positive as well online:
There was also one Maple Leaf fan who pleaded out to Connor McDavid that at least if he leaves to come to Toronto he’ll have consistent goaltending:However way you slice it, if the Maple Leafs get him at $4-million a season, combined with Joseph Woll and Dennis Hildeby, it’s only a combined $9-million to have your goaltending locked up for the next few years.
For any team that’s a steal but with Toronto needing as much cap space as possible for next summer, he’s doing the team a massive favor.
This is a developing story. More details to come.
