Anthony Stolarz remains optimistic that a deal between him and the Toronto Maple Leafs will be completed soon. The goaltender is entering the final season of a two-year, $5 million contract he signed with Toronto back on July 1, 2024. He put up career numbers during his first go-around with the Maple Leafs — 21 wins and a .926 save percentage in 34 games [https://www.nhl.com/mapleleafs/player/anthony-stolarz-8476932] — and is looking to take another step this year. But before the regular season starts, Stolarz would like an extension signed. He doesn’t want contract talks stretching into what’s potentially a big year for the 31-year-old. After Toronto’s practice on Friday, Stolarz was asked [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPsW1c7tHBg] how often he discusses negotiations with his agent. “He calls me probably every two or three days to kind of just give me an update,” the goaltender said. “But I let him take care of it. He's negotiated thousands of contracts. I'm just focused on getting ready for the start of the season, get a few games in here, and looking forward to that opener.” The reported issue that both sides are butting heads over is money, not term, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/toronto-maple-leafs/latest-news/the-issue-has-been-the-number-maple-leafs-anthony-stolarz-s-camp-reportedly-continue-going-back-and-forth-in-negotiations].

If we can get something that gets done before the season starts, and give us some certainty there, that would be my preference. But if not, I know we’re going to have a really motivated player to go out and have a really good year.” What Inspired William Nylander To Start A YouTube Channel, And Will Other Maple Leafs Be Involved?

But, for me, like I said, I kind of just leave it to the agent. That's kind of why we give them the big bucks to do that.
