After an unimpressive performance last season, Keith Petruzzelli has left the Maple Leafs organization to play for Philadelphia's AHL affiliate in Lehigh Valley.

Keith Petruzzelli seemed to be a hopeful goaltender coming into the league early on. At an impressive 6'6" and a guaranteed spot playing for the Quinnipiac University team, he looked to be a reasonable third-round pick in the 2017 NHL Draft for the Detroit Red Wings
"Incoming @QU_MIH freshman Keith Petruzzelli goes to the Detroit Red Wings in the 3rd Round of the 2017 NHL Draft with the 88th overall pick."
Yet, the university was where he played almost exclusively for four years. Soon after, he reached a deal with the Maple Leafs AHL affiliate. The Toronto Marlies announced that Petruzzelli would be playing with the team for two years.
"🖊️ News | We've signed goaltender Keith Petruzzelli to a two-year AHL contract.

#ForeverStartsHere"
However, after three seasons with the team, it is clear that forever does not end here for the AHL goaltender. After a meager .867 SV% in his last season with Toronto, Petruzzelli has taken a deal elsewhere. This 25-year-old goaltender has now signed a one-year deal with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, the AHL affiliate to the Philadelphia Flyers.
"NEWS: Toronto Maple Leafs' unrestricted free agent (UFA) G Keith Petruzzelli has signed a one-year contract with Lehigh Valley (AHL).

#LeafsForever "

Though Toronto seems to have trouble holding onto goaltenders, it is unlikely they will miss Keith Petruzzelli too much on the Marlies. Hopefully, though, he can find a better home with the Phantoms.
