We already wrote about this when it was just a rumour:
And now that it’s a reality, the reality has set in that it will be a long time before we get a real look at Barabanov.
The Maple Leafs are reporting that he has been signed to a one-year entry-level contract, but my reading of the rules had him too old to require an ELC.
