"Dennis Hildeby has been a surprise for many this season. He has kept the Maple Leafs in games and has played like a number-one goalie at times this season. In 19 games played this season, Hildeby has rocked a .912 with a goals against average of 2.90. Hildeby could be a serviceable depth piece to any Stanley Cup contender or could be the answer in the crease to teams struggling to find consistent goaltending."
"The Flyers have dealt with several goaltending troubles this season, highlighted when starting netminder Dan Vladar was injured. Vladar's injury left Samuel Ersson as the number one goalie. Ersson has struggled this season, to say the least, which has contributed to the Flyers' struggles as of late. In 24 contests this season, he has a goals against average north of three with a save percentage of .856."
"Hildeby could provide stable goaltending behind Vladar and help the Flyers win games that they should not be competing in. We saw this many times with the Maple Leafs, where Hildeby was able to put on a solid performance just to give the Leafs a chance to win. Oftentimes, the Leafs have gotten dominated, but Hildeby came in and saved the day."
The Toronto Maple Leafs roster includes three NHL-calibre goalies: Joseph Woll, Anthony Stolarz, and Dennis Hildeby. The Maple Leafs should gain assets and move toward the future after falling to the bottom of the Atlantic Division. Stolarz's injury history and recent play make him difficult to move, leaving Dennis Hildeby — currently with the Marlies — as the likeliest tradable asset. Hildeby has been a surprise this season, compiling a .912 save percentage and a 2.90 goals-against average in 19 appearances. Hildeby projects as affordable depth for contenders or as a potential starter for teams with unstable goaltending, with the Philadelphia Flyers a logical target.
