Sergei Bobrovsky signed a three-year contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs on July 1, becoming a 2-time Stanley Cup-winning goalie who will turn 38 on September 20. According to analyst Glenn Resch, Bobrovsky is "the Leafs' best shot at making the playoffs" due to his solid lateral movement, crease coverage, reflexes, and ability to make second-effort saves. Former goalie David Starman stated that Bobrovsky will provide the Leafs "stability and swagger" as a veteran goalie with Stanley Cup-winning experience.
