Word is that the Toronto Maple Leafs are very interested in acquiring a veteran Western Conference netminder. The Leafs, who haven't had a goalie last a full season as their number one since the 2007 season, are most likely considering Calgary Flames workhorse Mikka Kiprusoff.
Kiprusoff usually plays around 70 games for a non-contending Calgary team. The Flames are currently in a "rebuild", although they are trying to hang on to their valuable veterans instead of trading them for younger pieces. Their current goal is to win a Stanley Cup with Jerome Iginla, their 500 career goal-scoring captain. There have been rumors that they might trade him so that he can win a Cup, but no progress has been made on that yet. If the Flames are to trade Kiprusoff to the Leafs, they would most likely want to get young prospects in return.
