Insider reveals the game plan for each Samsonov, Woll and Jones
The Maple Leafs signing of Martin Jones yesterday was a wise one for a team that's struggled in net in recent years, but now, questions remain over the potential rotation for 2023-24.
Clearly defined roles
That's a question that TSN analyst Dave Poulin has now taken a shot at answering, revealing that this move for Jones was simple depth and insurance behind two relatively young names.
At 33-years old, Jones can't be the full-time starter, but as a depth or insurance piece that can play when injuries or major struggles arise, it's a brilliant signing by Toronto.
Good experience
Beyond that, Poulin pointed out that this is a team with 0 experienced depth in their organization, as none of the goalies with the Marlies have extensive NHL experience, so Jones will bring that added depth as well.
Ultimately, Leafs fans should not be worried about making Joseph Woll pass through waivers, as he is here to stay on the NHL roster, but if struggles arise, this will allow Jones to step in and lead the team.
