Leafs Trade Woll, Benoit for Ersson and Future

The Toronto Maple Leafs just made a splash in the NHL offseason, sending goalie Joseph Woll and defenseman Simon Benoit to the Flyers for goalie Samuel Ersson, defenseman Emil Andrae, and a 2026 third-round pick — freeing up $5M in cap space. Woll’s rough 2024 season and Benoit’s physical, one-year contract made them expendable, while the Flyers gain veteran depth. Ersson and Andrae, both restricted free agents, bring potential but haven’t yet proven elite — and the draft pick gives Toronto flexibility to reshape their roster. This move signals the Leafs are serious about rebuilding, and the real action is just beginning. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
