Is Austin Elliott the future in the Leafs net? His invitation to training camp certainly raises eyebrows. Could this be the steal of the offseason, a diamond in the rough ready to challenge for the starting role sooner than anyone expects? Or is this just another training camp invite, destined to be a footnote in the Leafs ongoing goaltending saga? What kind of impact could a strong showing from a junior goalie like Elliott have on the Leafs existing goaltending dynamic? Are we witnessing the beginning of a new era between the pipes in Toronto? Share your thoughts Leafs fans, I’m eager to hear your predictions. Is this a sign of management’s faith waning in current options, or simply due diligence in exploring all available talent? I predict Elliott will turn heads at camp, but where do you see him fitting into the Leafs long-term plans?
