2025-26 Toronto Maple Leafs General Discussion

I can understand Tanev and Stolarz but Carlo who's 29 with a plate infection? Willy with god knows what? The first two are injuries of players getting ground down due to age/injury history, but I just don't see it with the rest.

It is not all encompassing. Young players get hurt too - they just tend to get hurt less frequently due to less wear.
An older team might have a Tanev-Stolarz pair while a younger team would be less likely to have as many age-wear related injuries and so not as many injured. Recovery time for older players is also longer. But of the 3 skaters you mention, Carlo has the least number of NHL games played at 657 which is in the top 16% all time for regular season NHL games played - so those three have had a lot of NHL wear.
