The Toronto Maple Leafs have made a significant move in the NHL free agency market by signing two-time Stanley Cup champion Sergei Bobrovsky to a three-year deal worth $7 million per year.
Bobrovsky’s Resume
Bobrovsky, 37, is a highly accomplished goalie with a pair of Vezina Trophies to his name. However, his most recent season was statistically the worst of his career, with a .877 save percentage and a 3.07 GAA.
Despite this, the Leafs are hopeful that Bobrovsky still has plenty to offer, and his experience and skill will be valuable assets to the team. The Leafs led the league in shots allowed last season, so Bobrovsky will face a significant challenge in his new role.
What’s Next for the Leafs
The signing of Bobrovsky is just the first step for the Leafs, who need to strengthen their blue line and add defensively responsible forwards to support their new goalie. If they can achieve this, the signing of Bobrovsky could be a shrewd move, especially if they use a tandem of Bobrovsky and fellow former Panther Anthony Stolarz.
