CuJo to Toronto

Rumours were abound on this one and they did manage to come to fruition on frenzy day. Curtis Joseph signed a 1-year deal with the Maple Leafs and will mark his return as Vesa Toskala's back-up in the coming season.

Joseph, 41, managed to win 3 games with the Calgary Flames last season after signing later in the season to back-up Miikka Kiprusoff. Joseph becomes the second UFA to join a team on frenzy day, but we'll have to wait and see what his financial numbers are.

Before the Joseph signing and not counting the recent buy-outs, the Maple Leafs had 15 players signed at $36.7 million.
