Maple Leafs Lock In Anthony Stolarz on Four-Year, $15 Million Extension

The deal stabilizes Toronto’s goaltending at a modest cost during Joseph Woll’s indefinite absence.

Overview

  • Toronto announced the extension Sunday at $3.75 million AAV through the 2029–30 season, adding four years beyond his current deal.
  • ESPN’s Kevin Weekes reported the contract is largely structured with signing bonuses, and The Athletic’s Chris Johnston confirmed the terms.
  • With Woll away on personal leave, Stolarz is positioned to handle increased starter responsibilities to open the season.
  • Stolarz posted a 21-8-3 record with a league-leading .926 save percentage and a 2.14 GAA in 34 games last season, missing time for knee surgery and a playoff concussion.
  • The extension locks the Stolarz–Woll tandem at roughly a $7.4 million combined cap hit, and veteran James Reimer has joined on a PTO as short-term depth.
