The Toronto Maple Leafs are exploring options to enhance their roster, with Jonas Siegel of The Athletic analyzing potential trades they could make, given their limited farm system and draft picks. The Carolina Hurricanes have recalled goaltender Antti Raanta from the Chicago Wolves of the AHL, where he achieved a 1-0-1 record, and have reassigned Yaniv Perets to the Norfolk Admirals of the ECHL. This move is part of the Hurricanes' search for a reliable backup goalie, especially for the upcoming game against Montreal. In a related development, the Leafs' top goalie prospect, Dennis Hildeby, did not dress for the Marlies' game versus Belleville. It was later clarified by Marlies coach Gruden that Hildeby was resting in Cleveland for a divisional game, quelling speculation of an imminent call-up to the Leafs.
The situation with Raanta’s recall is not complicated IMO. @Canes need a second goalie who can — at least — play v Montreal on Thursday. Yaniv Perets was never brought up to start a game. Since no trade was made, Raanta comes up. Still need a goalie, tho.
Marlies coach Gruden confirms Hildeby went ahead of the team to Cleveland to rest for tomorrow’s divisional start. Which means nothing up for him and the Leafs for now.
Goalie Antti Raanta was recalled by the Hurricanes from Chicago of the American Hockey League on Tuesday. https://t.co/UI8L1icxDm
On Dennis Hildeby not being in the Marlies lineup today: it doesn’t *sound* like Hildeby is injured, but the Marlies have three goaltenders and they could just be rotating. Suspect that even if Hildeby is getting called up, the Marlies might not say much postgame anyway.
The #Canes have recalled Antti Raanta from the Chicago Wolves (AHL) and reassigned Yaniv Perets to the Norfolk Admirals (ECHL). Raanta went 1-0-1 in two starts in the American Hockey League. https://t.co/71Q2XY8HVa
The #Canes have recalled goaltender Antti Raanta from the Chicago Wolves. Yaniv Perets has been reassigned to the @NorfolkAdmirals. Details » https://t.co/CMhj3c60BT https://t.co/JGDHA5jGNt
Hildeby is #Leafs top goalie prospect. And they obviously need help. https://t.co/UF7FWOEqZy
Marlies throw a curve and don’t dress Hildeby today @ SBA vs. Belleville. Clarification hopefully post-game, but if he’s not sick and being kept in reserve pending something with the Leafs (who play Ottawa here tomorrow) it’s a possibility.

We've talked about what types of players the Leafs should be angling to acquire. But with a depleted farm system and a lighter treasure chest of draft picks, what can Toronto deal in order to make upgrades? @jonassiegel analyzes the assets ⤵️ https://t.co/5Jd1FO9RYT https://t.co/MnZhyx0wJA
