He was with the Duck's ECHL affiliate already, so I imagine the Ducks wouldn't have signed him unless he agreed to stay.
And the Ducks in recent years have made a point to carry a lot of goalies, but 7 really is a lot on SPC.
I wonder if this has anything to do with the expansion draft. Right now the Ducks only have two goalies under contract for next year, which is a requirement to eligibility for the expansion draft. Gibson and Tokarski. If they have a trade in the works for Tokarski then they need another goalie under contract so they don't have to expose Gibson. Why anyone would want Tokarski is beyond me, but perhaps a Stanley Cup contender wants insurance at the goalie position, and Tokarski has some NHL game experience. Time will tell.
