Summary
The Leafs pull off a quiet but strategic trade, sending Woll and Benoit to Philly for Ersson, Andrae, and a 2026 third-round pick — a move that clears space for future moves rather than reshaping the roster now. With Woll gone, Stolarz takes the starting spot, but the backup role is up for grabs. Hildeby, the 24-year-old with solid stats and upside, deserves the job over Ersson, whose numbers have declined — especially last season. Ersson’s regression makes him a better depth option than a backup, leaving Hildeby as the logical choice to grow into the role and lead the Leafs’ goaltending future.
