Vally's View: Leafs' Backup Goalie Battle + Bounce-Back Candidates
Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne, and Sam McKee break down the latest NHL goalie moves — including the Ducks sending down Ville Husso and the Sabres waiving Alexandar Georgiev — before welcoming MSG analyst and Clear Sight Analytics CEO Steve Valiquette (5:45). Vally discusses what Cayden Primeau brings to the Maple Leafs, Toronto’s search for a reliable backup, the pressure on Dustin Wolf after signing his new long-term deal with the Flames, the Canadiens’ outlook with Sam Montembeault in net, and whether stars like Elias Pettersson, Auston Matthews, and Jeremy Swayman can rebound in the 2025-26 NHL season. Later, Nick, Justin and Sam get into the suspension fallout from the Lightning and Panthers' preseason battle, the Panthers' Cup rings, and Alex Pietrangelo being ruled out for the season.
