And the biggest reason I lean on that is we just haven't seen between Wohl and between Stolarz

give you enough confidence that one of them is going to be healthy for a long period of time and so I don't wish for that to be the case but I think the Leafs are a team like an increasing number around the NHL that think they need to have three goalies that they have some degree of faith in because you know they have had so many injuries at that position and quite honestly I mean look they're still in a battle to make the playoffs but if they get the playoffs I mean who

It's anyone's guess at this point who's going to play those most important games of the year.

OverDrive

So I think that for the time being, you ride it out with the three guys.

OverDrive

Maybe it involves Hildeby because he does have that exemption to be sent straight to the HL at some point.

Spending some more time with the Marlies really just to get them games down there and keep everybody fresh and busy.

OverDrive
Dreger and Johnston on the Maple Leafs' goaltending trades, Pettersson's buzz and Olympic arena

But I don't think you make any decisions at all before Hildeby.

the offseason, unless something really unusual comes up.

OverDrive
Dreger and Johnston on the Maple Leafs' goaltending trades, Pettersson's buzz and Olympic arena

But, you know, I've seen some people start to talk, you know, the Leafs trade a goalie before the deadline.

OverDrive
Dreger and Johnston on the Maple Leafs' goaltending trades, Pettersson's buzz and Olympic arena

I just think there's way too much risk in that, given their own history at that position with those guys.

OverDrive
Dreger and Johnston on the Maple Leafs' goaltending trades, Pettersson's buzz and Olympic arena

And so, you know, maybe in the offseason, that's a more relevant point of conversation.

OverDrive
Dreger and Johnston on the Maple Leafs' goaltending trades, Pettersson's buzz and Olympic arena

But, you know, right now, I think they're just trying to get them all healthy and playing.

OverDrive
Dreger and Johnston on the Maple Leafs' goaltending trades, Pettersson's buzz and Olympic arena

He wasn't away as long as well, guys.

OverDrive

You look at Joseph Wall, it was a month or more that he was totally away from the Leafs.

OverDrive

Allmark was at games.

OverDrive
Dreger and Johnston on the Maple Leafs' goaltending trades, Pettersson's buzz and Olympic arena

He was at a game, actually, with a goalie coach from Europe that he's used in the past.

OverDrive
Dreger and Johnston on the Maple Leafs' goaltending trades, Pettersson's buzz and Olympic arena

So, I mean, his absence isn't as long.

OverDrive
Dreger and Johnston on the Maple Leafs' goaltending trades, Pettersson's buzz and Olympic arena

And so I think that as a result of that, there's probably less of a run-up to get him back into the net.

OverDrive
Dreger and Johnston on the Maple Leafs' goaltending trades, Pettersson's buzz and Olympic arena

But it's been an unusual situation, really, right from the moment he left the Sens.

OverDrive
Dreger and Johnston on the Maple Leafs' goaltending trades, Pettersson's buzz and Olympic arena

Yeah.
