Controversial Solution Emerges for Leafs' Goalie Ilya Samsonov

While much of the trade rumours around the Leafs centered on acquiring a defenseman, the team may need to reconsider their trade deadline strategy to address their goaltending issues. One potential option emerging on the radar is Petr Mrazek, who is enjoying a strong comeback season with the Chicago Blackhawks. It's worth noting that Mrazek was traded away from the Leafs in July 2022, along with a first-round draft pick, as a cap space clearance move.

Due to their tight cap space situation, the Leafs may need to rethink their priorities as the trade deadline approaches. While they have managed to navigate through injuries on the blue line, persistent goaltending issues could come in the way of their postseason aspirations.

Do you think the Maple Leafs should bring back Mrazek?
