The Toronto Maple Leafs have a new starting goaltender. The team signed veteran Sergei Bobrovsky to a three-year, $21-million deal on Wednesday, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.

The two-time Vezina Trophy winner leaves the Florida Panthers after seven seasons, during which he won two Stanley Cups. While his time in South Florida saw much success, it ended on a low note as the Panthers — riddled with injuries up and down the lineup — missed the playoffs this past spring while Bobrovsky posted some of the worst numbers of his career. His .877 save percentage marked the lowest of his Panthers tenure. Still, with a track record that speaks for itself, the 37-year-old remained one of the hottest goalies on the market this off-season and a subject of much intrigue after it became increasingly clear Florida management intended to move on.
