The Toronto Maple Leafs traded for goaltender David Rittich but is he a better option than the stopper they already had, Michael Hutchinson?
Kyle Dubas and the Toronto Maple Leafs made a number of moves just ahead of the NHL trade deadline. One of the needs that they addressed was to upgrade the position of backup goaltender. It appeared as though the player they had between the pipes, Michael Hutchinson, just wasn’t satisfying his coach and general manager.
With Frederik Andersen on the shelf, Jack Campbell took over as the team’s number one keeper.
