Goalie Sergei Bobrovsky is signing a three-year, $21 million contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs, sources said.

Bobrovsky, who will turn 38 ahead of next season, was unable to come to terms with the Florida Panthers, leading him to free agency. The Panthers pivoted to a tandem of Jacob Markstrom (acquired in a trade with New Jersey on Tuesday) and Akira Schmid (acquired in a trade with Vegas).

In Toronto, Bobrovsky will reunite with his former Florida partner Anthony Stolarz. The Maple Leafs also have 24-year-old Dennis Hildeby in their goalie room.
