Sergei Bobrovsky signs three‑year deal with Toronto Maple Leafs

Sergei Bobrovsky departed the Florida Panthers after seven seasons in which he won two Stanley Cups. The 38‑year‑old Russian goaltender agreed to a three‑year contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs worth $7 million per season. Toronto’s front office, led by Mats Sundin and John Chayka, had long pursued Bobrovsky to strengthen their roster, and the signing marks the club’s first major free‑agent acquisition of the offseason.

The Panthers had earlier attempted to retain Bobrovsky with a long‑term offer, but negotiations fell through, prompting the move to Toronto. The deal concludes a period of roster turnover for both teams as they reshape their goaltending lineups ahead of the upcoming NHL season.
