Joseph Woll, the Toronto Maple Leafs’ goaltender, signed a three-year contract extension worth $12.48 million, with an average annual value (AAV) of $3.98 million. This contract comes after a breakout year for Woll, who demonstrated his potential as a reliable presence between the pipes. Having spent some time with the team in previous seasons, Woll showed his ability to step up when needed, especially in the 2023-24 season, earning his role as a key backup behind veteran starter, Ilya Samsonov.

This contract extension reflects both the Leafs’ confidence in Woll’s growth and potential to become a future starting goaltender. With the AAV of $3.98 million, Woll’s deal is an affordable investment for the team, considering the rising salary cap and the importance of having solid goaltending depth. The contract structure allows the Leafs flexibility, especially as they aim to contend for a Stanley Cup in the coming years.
