The Toronto Maple Leafs trade goaltender Joseph Woll and defenseman Simon Benoit to the Philadelphia Flyers. In return, Toronto receives goaltender Samuel Ersson and defenseman Emil Andrae, along with a 2026 third-round draft pick, according to multiple reports.
The Athletic reports Woll’s 2025-26 production with the Leafs, noting an .899 save percentage and a 3.34 goals-against average across 39 games. City News Toronto adds that Woll is 27 and was drafted by Toronto in the third round of 2016.
One Yahoo Sports report also frames the trade from the Flyers’ perspective, saying it provides Philadelphia with a reliable backup option for prospective starter Dan Vladar, who is coming off a strong 2024-25 playoff run against Pittsburgh. Another Yahoo report confirms the core components of the exchange and the inclusion of the third-round pick.
All accounts agree on the players moving between teams and the draft pick component, with different outlets emphasizing either the Leafs’ player stats or the Flyers’ roster needs.
