Toronto Maple Leafs general manager John Chayka made a significant investment by signing free-agent goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky. Signing the 37-year-old Bobrovsky at a $7 million AAV for three years carries risk. Despite evidence to the contrary, Yost liked the Maple Leafs' signing of Bobrovsky and the Edmonton Oilers' signing of former Leaf Frederik Andersen. He called the goaltending bets by the Maple Leafs and Oilers "reasonable," each of them bolstering "the goaltending depth chart and are dream options to man the crease come playoff time." For the Maple Leafs, acquiring Bobrovsky is a success if he delivers consistent, average play, eliminating the team's recent volatility in the crease.
