I’m told the @MapleLeafs are closing in on 3Yr Contract Extension (July 1st) for G Woll in the neighborhood between $ 3.5M - $4M AAV. #LeafsForever #HockeyX #HockeyTwitter pic.twitter.com/Wo5vCO7UDN
Woll, 25, is entering the final season of his current deal in 2024-25. However, once this new deal is finalized, the Maple Leafs will have their top goalie locked up for multiple more years.
Woll appeared in 25 games this season with the Maple Leafs, where he had a 12-11-1 record, a .907 save percentage, and a 2.94 goals against average. Overall, it was a solid first full regular season for the Missouri native, and he naturally has created plenty of excitement from Maple Leafs fans about his potential.
Woll was also spectacular for the Maple Leafs during the playoffs, posting a 2-0 record, a 0.86 GAA, and a .964 save percentage in three appearances. He was the main reason why the Maple Leafs forced a Game 7 against the Boston Bruins after being down 3-1. Unfortunately for them, he was unable to play Game 7 due to injury.
Nevertheless, Woll will be getting a nice raise starting in 2025-26 with this incoming contract extension. We will need to wait and see how well he performs during it from here.
