Confirmed with Link: Leafs sign Enroth to a 1 year 750k deal.

[Mr Hockey*]

They also need to expose a free agent so perhaps Enroth can count as both a goalie and a UFA being exposed? Would be nice to hit two birds with one stone.

How do you exposed someone that is not under contract to a team?

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

Nice little deal there. I'm a fan

 

[BertCorbeau]

There you go.

 

[kihei]

Good move. I'd put a lid on that playoff talk, though. Enroth has never excited that kind of confidence even among members of his immediate family. Nice signing, though, and at a bargain basement price.

 

[sxvnert]

Took long enough.

 

[Larcos_Unal]

very nice, bye bye Sparks

 

[SeaOfBlue]

At least that's done, and it's for a good enough deal that we should be able to get a nice pick out of him if he plays well.

Now we just need to trade away Holland

 

[Deebo]

So this post is meaningless?

Yup, no matter what happens with Cowen. They can be cap compliant to start the season.

 

[Moncherry]

How does Enroth compare to Reimer or Bernier?

He's as much of a starter as either of them are.

 

[saltming]

Wow! That came from nowhere!

Hahaha

Team is looking more set now. Time to cull the crowd a little.

Nothing wrong with the signing, but he's nothing special.

Back-up goalies usually aren't anything special, otherwise they wouldn't be back-ups.

 

[Auston Matthews]

There's nothing in the expansion rules regarding this.

Don't know where I read that then

For a back-up you could do a lot worse. He's ideal relief and can steal a game when he's on form. Did quite well on some very bad Buffalo teams.

I mean as far as back ups go. Not comparing him to starters.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Like that it's only 750k for a backup that's proven to be a solid backup.

Good value .. Provides some additional stability in net. Nothing more than that

 

[LV*]

Best goalie available the contract wouldnt even matter but 750k is great

 

[rdogg]

Didn't Buffalo trade Enroth the year they were tanking for McDavid because he was stealing them too many games?

I like Enroth, should be a solid backup for us.

 

[Dustin]

Sparks is going to be exposed regardless of Enroth's status.

Why is that?

Is a 903 S% "quite well"? His only real with really good numbers with the Sabres was in very limited playing time. As he was given more work, his numbers declined. Numbers picked up with LA, but we're not LA.

I was never comfortable with Reimer and Bernier, but they had better numbers.

 

[saltming]

Why is that?

Because we have to expose one.

 

[Dustin]

But the poster replied that Sparks was going to exposed regardless. Had the Leafs signed Enroth to a 2 year deal they could have exposed him instead.

 

[The Missing Piece]

This is great news!!! Perfect tendy tandem

 

[trellaine201]

Great!!!!

This solidifies it. The Leafs are making the playoffs. Book it.

They better! They spent to the cap!

The Sabres traded him because he was screwing up their tank. Don't just look at the numbers.

"Limited playing time" is dumb argument, since, you know, he's a back-up, not a starting goalie.

He is definitely in the upper echelon of back-up goalies.
