Maple Leafs sign goalie Aaron Dell to a one year contract

Dell was never drafted. He played under now-Leafs Assistant Coach Dave Hakstol at the University of North Dakota from 2010-2012 and then signed with the San Jose Sharks and has been in their organisation since then.
Dell joins the Leafs obviously sitting behind Frederik Andersen and Jack Campbell on the depth chart, but in front of untested prospects Joseph Woll and Ian Scott. Where he could wind up to start the season is still unclear.
What we do know is he has a bit of a temper! He goes after Sam Bennet here and gets away with it.
