Maple Leafs' Goalie Depth: AHL Options for Woll's Backup 

Hey there! As a die-hard hockey fan, I can't help but get excited about the Toronto Maple Leafs' goaltending situation right now. It's been a rollercoaster ride, but the depth they have in the AHL is impressive. Joseph Woll has really stepped up, and with Stolarz out, it’s great to see the team looking at options like Akhtyamov and Hildeby.

Akhtyamov's performance has been particularly eye-catching. An 8-1-1 record with solid stats for a rookie is no small feat! His athleticism and quick reflexes could make him a real asset if called up. I agree that they shouldn't rush him, but having him as a backup option is reassuring.

Then there's Hildeby, who has shown flashes of potential despite some ups and downs. His size and experience in the AHL could be crucial if the team needs him. And let’s not forget about Matt Murray. While he may not be the same goalie he was in Pittsburgh, his experience could be invaluable during this stretch.

Overall, it feels like the Leafs have a solid foundation in net, which is something we haven’t seen in a while. It’s going to be interesting to see how they manage the goaltending situation moving forward, especially with the playoffs on the horizon. What do you think? Do you have a favorite among the options?
