Philadelphia Flyers Acquire Joseph Woll

Key Points:

• The Toronto Maple Leafs traded goaltender Joseph Woll and defenseman Simon Benoit to the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for defenseman Emil Andrae, goaltender Samuel Ersson, and a 2026 third-round draft pick.
• Woll, 27, had a mixed performance with Toronto, showing promise early on but struggling with injuries and form in the 2025-26 season; he remains under contract through 2027-28 and is expected to back up Daniel Vladař in Philadelphia.
• Benoit, primarily a depth defenseman with limited offensive impact and poor possession metrics, could see varying roles in Philadelphia depending on offseason moves.
• The Maple Leafs acquired Ersson, a restricted free agent goaltender with a modest track record, and Andrae, a versatile defenseman who is expected to provide more consistent bottom-pairing minutes than Benoit.
• Toronto also received a 2026 third-round pick (85th overall), increasing their total selections in the upcoming draft to eight, while the Flyers' picks drop to four.
