Overview
- GM Brad Treliving said the team has engaged Stolarz’s camp on a new contract but has nothing to announce yet.
- Stolarz publicly urged completion before opening night, with reporting indicating he does not intend to negotiate once the season begins.
- Insiders project a three- to four-year extension with an average annual value slightly above Joseph Woll’s $3.7 million cap hit, with cap considerations cited as the sticking point.
- The 31-year-old boosted his value last season with a 21-8-3 record, 2.14 goals-against average, .926 save percentage, and four shutouts while sharing duties with Woll.
- After a playoff-ending concussion from an elbow by Sam Bennett, Stolarz says he trained fully over the summer with no symptoms, though durability remains part of Toronto’s risk calculus.
