The Toronto Maple Leafs have agreed to terms with goaltender Sergey Bobrovsky on a three-year contract, according to Darren Dreger. The deal is worth a total of $21 million, carrying an average annual value (AAV) of $7 million per season.
The signing provides the Maple Leafs with a high-profile veteran in the crease as they look to solidify their goaltending situation. Bobrovsky, a two-time Vezina Trophy winner, brings significant experience and a proven track record to the Toronto roster. This move marks a major commitment by the Maple Leafs front office to address the team's needs at the goaltending position for the foreseeable future.
According to the report by Darren Dreger, the contract will keep the netminder in Toronto for the next three seasons. The financial commitment of $7 million per year places Bobrovsky among the higher-paid goaltenders in the league, reflecting the team's belief in his ability to contribute to a deep playoff run. The Maple Leafs have been active in seeking upgrades to their defensive unit, and this acquisition serves as a cornerstone of those efforts.
Further details regarding the specific structure of the contract, including any potential no-trade or no-movement clauses, have not yet been made public. The team is expected to formally announce the signing shortly as they prepare for the upcoming NHL campaign.
