“Joseph Woll rejoined the Toronto Maple Leafs today. Everybody happy to see he was in a position to return. He skated . He’s going to join the team for practice. He, because he’s on LTIR, he cannot rejoin the Maple Leafs in a game situation until November the 1st, at least. I assume there’s going to be a conditioning stint here. But right now, at this point in time, no set idea as to when he’ll actually be able to play an NHL game. Just good news that he could make that step. They’ll see how he is, and they’ll progress from there.”
