Reporter reveals concerning stats for Maple Leafs new goalie Anthony Stolarz

The Toronto Maple Leafs signed goaltender Anthony Stolarz this summer and now a new report has revealed they might have made a major mistake.

The Toronto Maple Leafs set off this season hoping to improve their defense and goaltending situation. In pursuit of that goal, the Maple Leafs signed Stanley Cup Champion goaltender Anthony Stolarz from the Florida Panthers.

In his time with the Florida Panthers Anthony Stolarz was exceptional as the backup goalie to Sergei Bobrovsky. In 27 appearances with the Florida Panthers Anthony Stolarz had a 2.03 goals against average and a 0.925 save percentage. Despite these incredible stats from a season ago one source believes the Maple Leafs are making a mistake by signing Anthony Stolarz.

Since signing with the Toronto Maple Leafs many fans have looked at the success that Anthony Stolarz had with the Florida Panthers and been over the moon about the signing. However, today Scott Maxwell tried to bring down expectations for Anthony Stolarz. His skepticism comes from Anthony Stolarz's severe lack of success before signing with the Florida Panthers.

If the Toronto Maple Leafs are a mess defensively again likely they were last season Anthony Stolarz could face major regression to his stats. If he does regress the Maple Leafs would once again be in a situation where they cannot find a consistent pair for Joseph Woll.

This upcoming season the Toronto Maple Leafs have a lot to prove and expectations that are higher than ever. To meet those expectations their defense and goaltending will have to be better. In line with this Anthony Stolarz will need to have another big season and keep his play at its peak.
