The Maple Leafs are scuffling and Ilya Samsonov is on waivers after becoming unplayable.

Dennis Hildeby will be a short-term replacement for Samsonov, and eventually, Joseph Woll will return from a high ankle sprain. Is the combination of Woll and Martin Jones good enough, if Samsonov can’t be redeemed in the minors? (Could they even trust him in that case?)

It’s worth a meeting or three for Brendan Shanahan, Brad Treliving and the Leafs’ front office. Who could they pursue to bolster the crease — as a potential No. 1, 2 or even 3? Let’s pick through the potential possibilities, a few of whom make some sense.
