Elliotte Friedman then mentioned that the Detroit Red Wings could be looking for a goaltender. Even though the Red Wings already have 3 goaltenders they would like more stability in their backup role and could look to make a move.

With this in mind, the Maple Leafs have Ilya Samsonov who they could dangle to the Red Wings. More than likely it would take giving up Martin Jones if a goaltender is in play. As of now, talks are preliminary between the teams on Holl.
