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

The deal provides cost certainty in net with Joseph Woll on indefinite leave.

Overview

  • The extension carries a $3.75 million average annual value and begins in 2026–27, running through the 2029–30 season.
  • ESPN’s Kevin Weekes reported the contract is structured largely with signing bonuses.
  • Stolarz is positioned to open 2025–26 as Toronto’s primary starter, with the Stolarz–Woll tandem projected to cost roughly $7.4 million when both are active.
  • In 2024–25, Stolarz posted a 21-8-3 record with a .926 save percentage and a 2.14 goals-against average, then went 4-2 in the playoffs before an injury.
  • Both sides pushed to finalize the agreement before the season after the goaltender indicated he did not want in-season negotiations.
