That’s left them endlessly spending money, prospects and draft picks to acquire goalies from other teams. The Leafs have drafted 19 goalies since selecting Potvin with a second-round pick 30 years ago. There were three other goalie prospects recruited as non-NHL free agents, Jonas Gustavsson, Ben Scrivens and Jussi Rynnas, and they didn’t solve the problem either. Clifford could represent a re-think by Dubas on the kinds of players the Leafs need. It has been, after all, 55 years since a Leafs goalie had his name engraved on the Vezina Trophy.
