New Maple Leafs goalie Elvis Merzlikins set to miss most of season
The Toronto Maple Leafs ' acquisition of goaltender Elvis Merzlikins as part of the blockbuster Kirill Marchenko trade comes with a couple of caveats. First of all, the goalie is unlikely to even suit up for the Leafs—at least not for a long, long while. He's recovering from a serious shoulder injury and GM John Chayka told the media on Tuesday that Merzlikins will be out a total of four to six months (three to five more months from now).

He is on an expiring contract, set to be an unrestricted free agent. His $5.4M cap hit, however, could be an issue.
