Leafs Trade Woll for Ersson and Future Assets

Toronto shocks the NHL by trading struggling goalie Joseph Woll to Philly for promising netminder Samuel Ersson, young defenseman Emil Andrae, and a future draft pick — plus sending Simon Benoit along for the ride. Woll’s career-worst stats this year (15-16-7, .909 SV%) mirror the Leafs’ worst season in a decade, missing the playoffs for the first time since 2014. Meanwhile, Ersson (14-11-5, .970 SV%) is a potential bargain in his final year, while Andrae, also a restricted free agent, adds depth to Toronto’s rebuilding blueprint. Flyers gain a goalie in need of a bounce-back, while Leafs get a shot at turning things around — with a new GM and open coaching job adding urgency to the rebuild.
