Bobrovsky’s Age-Old Value | Toronto Maple Leafs News

The Leafs just pulled off a bold move, bringing in 37-year-old goalie Sergei Bobrovsky on a $7M/year deal — a risky but smart bet for steady, reliable netminding. TSN’s Travis Yost dug into stats of goalies aged 36-38 over the past decade and found Bobrovsky’s recent numbers actually stack up well: he played more games and outperformed expectations slightly. But here’s the reality check — older goalies rarely hit “peak” again, and most struggle to even exceed their expected save totals. Still, Yost calls this a savvy move, especially since goalies age better than skaters, and both the Leafs and Oilers are wisely managing their new veterans’ workloads. For Toronto, consistency from an aging veteran is a win after years of shaky goaltending. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
