A former Maple Leafs defenseman, Carlo Colaiacovo, is lauding Woll with praise - even saying he believes Woll will compete for a Vezina Trophy.
Woll's play is certainly catching the attention of Toronto fans and media, and when you consider the subpar play from Ilya Samsonov, he has an opportunity to go on a run at the moment. In four games to start the season, Woll has had some memorable performances while boasting incredible stats, having a 1.33 GAA and a .961 save percentage.
Off the back of his incredible start, Sheldon Keefe has already admitted that Woll is pushing to earn a greater share of the starting opportunities. If he keeps up this play, he'll certainly be in the conversation as the goaltender of the future for the Leafs - and potentially in Vezina discussions down the line.
