Anthony Stolarz Makes Cheeky Comments as Leafs Contract Negotiations Rage On
Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Anthony Stolarz is currently in the midst of negotiating a new deal with the team, and his latest comments will raise some eyebrows.
Anthony Stolarz and the Toronto Maple Leafs are hard at work on a new contract that will take effect next season.
After a sensational first season with the Leafs, Stolarz is deserving of a new deal, although it has to make sense for both sides.
The goaltender wants to get this done before the start of the regular season, which means both sides have less than two weeks to make it happen.
However, it seems like they are getting closer, as a four-year deal worth a total of $18-20 million is looking more and more likely.
Anthony Stolarz on contract negotiations
Recently, Stolarz got to speak to the media, where he was asked about the negotiations and his role in the talks. This led to a cheeky answer in which Stolarz made it clear he's not actively speaking to the Leafs.
Instead, he lets his agent handle everything. In fact, he gets a call from his agent every two or three days, reassuring him of every update.
Hopefully, something can get worked out here. Just leave it to agent, that's why we give them the big bucks
Based on everything we have heard, it does seem likely that the deal will be done sometime soon. At least, that is what fans want.
Overall, the Toronto Maple Leafs have an ideal goaltending situation with Stolarz and Joseph Woll. If they can lock that in for years, that would be huge.
Ultimately, we cannot wait to see Stolarz in action, especially since he will likely be the starter on opening night.
