When the Toronto Maple Leafs signed Petr Mrazek last summer, it wasn’t meant to end up looking like this.
The Toronto Maple Leafs gave up on Freddie Andersen and essentially made a one-for-one trade on free agent goalies. In doing so, the Carolina Hurricanes got Freddie and the Leafs got Petr Mrazek and it looked to be a solid deal, especially with one more cheap year of Jack Campbell too.
For the first time in a very long while, it looked like the Maple Leafs had a genuine 1A/1B goaltending tandem.
The unfortunate reality though was that Jack Campbell was the number one and by the season end, Petr Mrazek had been waived and was number three.
