Reports out of Toronto claim the Maple Leafs have signed
their former starting goaltender to a one-year deal believed worth $700K.
Things have changed since Joseph last joined the Leafs ten
years ago. Back then he was brought in as their starting goaltender, but this
time he’ll be used as a backup and tutor for current starter Vesa Toskala.
The Carolina Hurricanes have further bolstered their
blueline corps by bringing back defenseman Anton Babchuk, signing him to a
one-year, $ 1million contract.
Babchuk spent last season playing for Avangard Omsk of the
Russian Super League after a contract dispute with the Hurricanes last summer.
