Generally leave of absences are a few weeks minimum…unless it’s just a funeral.
I expect Woll not to play game until at least November, by the time he’s announced to be back and ramps back up
I’m guessing bring on Reimer is because they’re not sure if they want Hildeby stepping up to the NHL to do nothing but play backup. They wouldn’t give him Woll’s roll so he wouldn’t get the same amount of starts.
Basically without Woll the Leafs will truly lean on Stolarz and it won’t be a 50/50 type setup like last year, not until Woll is back anyways. So having someone like Reimer as the backup would make more sense since you don’t want Hildeby just sitting there hardly playing.
