The Toronto Maple Leafs have signed veteran goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky to a three-year contract worth $21 million, with an annual average value of $7 million.
The deal was finalized on Wednesday, July 1, 2026, the opening day of NHL free agency.
Bobrovsky, 37, joins the Maple Leafs after completing a seven-year, $70 million contract with the Florida Panthers.
He fills a key vacancy in Toronto's crease following the trade of goaltender Joseph Woll to the Philadelphia Flyers.
The Russian netminder is expected to share goaltending duties with Anthony Stolarz. The Maple Leafs sought an established option to stabilize their goaltending depth.
Postseason Pedigree
Although Bobrovsky posted a career-low .
877 save percentage in 52 games last season behind an injury-depleted Florida roster, his playoff track record remains a major draw.
He backstopped the Panthers to consecutive Stanley Cup championships in 2024 and 2025.
Bobrovsky is a two-time Vezina Trophy winner and has 456 career regular-season victories. His experience and championship pedigree are expected to bolster Toronto's postseason aspirations.
