With the recent signing of goaltender Curtis Joseph to a one year $700,000 deal, the Leafs have found the perfect goaltender to replace the failure that was Andrew Raycroft. It’s easy to see that Cujo is ready for his second tenure with the Leafs. It’s a perfect position for him at this point in his career and a smart decision for the Leafs mostly because he’s the kind of veteran player who can help out rookie goaltender Justin Pogge, who should be ready to make his NHL debut sometime soon. Curtis Joseph first signed with Leafs after the 1997/1998 season. He held things down for a while and things were on the up and up, but rumours of a bad relationship with head coach Pat Quinn are possibly the reason for Cujo not resigning with Toronto. After his departure from Toronto, Joseph played for the Wings, the Phoenix Coyotes, as well as most recently with the Calgary Flames. It is easy to see that Cujo will fit in perfectly with Toronto in the 2008/2009 NHL season. He’s the perfect backup goaltender to Vesa Toskala. It’s great to see Cujo back in the blue and white.
