Jhonas Enroth Signing a Win for Him and for the Maple Leafs

It’s helpful to think of the summer goalie market as a game of musical chairs.

There are only 30 starter and 30 backup jobs available at the NHL level, and in any summer only a fraction of those jobs are available. In every summer in recent memory, there have been more unsigned major-league goalies than there have been NHL goalie jobs.

Thus, every summer, there’s a mad scramble to find work.
