Garret Sparks, a restricted free agent this summer, is expected to be back as well.Įven though there is a calculated risk made with every undrafted NCAA free agent, it’s telling that the Leafs gave Kaskisuo the maximum rookie salary of $925,000 – including a $92,500 signing bonus each year – plus up to $850,000 in performance bonuses. It also speaks to the opportunity that exists within an organization where Antoine Bibeau and Jonathan Bernier are the only other goalies signed through next season.
Should Kaskisuo manage to get a win for the Marlies, the team would match an AHL record by having eight different goaltenders register a victory this season. “We’ll get him comfortable there’s a lot of new stuff going on that’s going to take him a little bit of time to adjust to it.” “He’s a big guy, covers a lot of net, seems to move well,” said Keefe. Kaskisuo will likely make a couple appearances for the Marlies down the stretch, starting with Friday’s game in Syracuse, but coach Sheldon Keefe is cautious with his expectations.
