Overview

  • The contract carries a $3.75 million average annual value and is reported to be structured with significant signing bonuses.
  • The extension begins in 2026–27 and runs through 2029–30, preserving Toronto’s current-season cap setup.
  • Stolarz posted a league-leading .926 save percentage in 34 games last season and helped win a first-round series before a concussion ended his playoffs.
  • With Joseph Woll on an indefinite leave, Stolarz enters as Toronto’s No. 1 option, and the duo projects to cost roughly $7.4 million combined once both deals align.
  • The agreement was confirmed Sunday after reports by Kevin Weekes and Chris Johnston, and the Leafs have James Reimer in camp on a PTO to compete for the backup role.
