Summary
- Sergei Bobrovsky, a two-time Vezina winner, signed with Toronto.

Two-time Vezina Trophy recipient Sergei Bobrovsky signed a three-year contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs on Wednesday, July 2, 2026. The financial specifics of the deal were not immediately released by the team, but multiple media outlets reported the contract to be worth $21 million. Bobrovsky, 37, was unable to finalize terms with the Florida Panthers, prompting the team to pursue other goaltending options. The Panthers have since acquired Jacob Markstrom and Akira Schmid.
Bobrovsky, a Stanley Cup champion, will compete for playing time in Toronto alongside Anthony Stolarz and Dennis Hildeby. Last season, he recorded a 27-23-1 record with a 3.07 goals-against average and a .877 save percentage. He is coming off a seven-year, $70 million contract. Bobrovsky previously earned Vezina Trophy honors in 2013 and 2017 during his tenure with the Columbus Blue Jackets.
