"In a move to secure the Toronto Maple Leafs' long-term stability in net, general manager Brad Treliving signed goaltender Anthony Stolarz to a four-year contract before the start of the regular season, the netminder's self-imposed deadline to get something done. The second-year Leaf had a breakout season during his first year in Toronto, setting personal-bests in games played, wins, and shutouts. He also led the NHL in save percentage."
"Being proactive and getting Stolarz signed to an extension is the latest savvy move by Treliving. It comes on the heels of other adept offseason signings for John Tavares and Matthew Knies. All three key elements of the roster were signed to deals that gave the players long-term security in exchange for AAVs that were beneficial to the team. With an expected year-over-year increase in the NHL's salary cap,"
"As for the Leafs' goaltending, the signing of Stolarz keeps the team's prominent tandem together for at least three more years. Joseph Woll has three years remaining on his contract, while Stolarz is under contract for five more seasons. Their combined AAVs, Stolarz at $3.75 million starting in 2026-27, and Woll at $3.67 million, mean the Leafs are committing slightly over $7 million for one of the top partnerships in the NHL."
Anthony Stolarz signed a four-year contract to secure long-term goaltending stability for the Toronto Maple Leafs. Stolarz posted a breakout first season in Toronto with personal bests in games played, wins, and shutouts and led the NHL in save percentage. The extension reflects organizational confidence in Stolarz and reinforces a strategy of building a balanced, competitive roster through mutually beneficial contracts. Recent signings including John Tavares and Matthew Knies also provided long-term security with team-friendly AAVs. The Stolarz–Woll tandem remains intact, their combined AAVs committing just over $7 million while prospects and veteran depth support the position.
