Insiders provide some clarity on whether or not Mrazek will finish the season in Toronto
The Toronto Maple Leafs have a lot of question marks in goal for next season, with starter Jack Campbell set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer and the lackluster play of backup Petr Mrazek.
There has been a lot of conversation surrounding Mrazek and whether or not he will finish the season as a Toronto Maple Leaf, and according to Jeff Marek and Elliotte Friedman on the 32 Thoughts segment of Hockey Night in Canada on Saturday, there is a market for the 29-year-old, despite his mediocre play.
Mrazek will apparently be a "summer conversation" and at this point, the Leafs are not believed to have had any talks surrounding Mrazek being shipped out before or at the trade deadline.
There is still time for Mrazek to turn his season around. It's tough for a goaltender to really hit their stride when they spend time on the injured reserve early on in the season. In Mrazek's case, he had spent two stints on IR and then had dealt with COVID-19 as well.
Perhaps a few more starts in a very busy February for the Leafs will provide Mrazek with the playing time he needs to fine-tune his game before the start of the playoffs.
