Sorry, Brandon Prust, until you've signed a contract, you don't count.
No one was surprised when Jhonas Enroth was signed by the Leafs on August 22. Everyone knew they needed a backup; he was clearly the cream of the crop of available free agents, and the signing had been rumoured for weeks.
Perhaps we should have been surprised at the salary.
At only $750,000 per year for a one-year deal, that is a bargain price for a goaltender who very ably backstopped the Los Angeles Kings to seven wins, five losses and a tie last year.
