The Toronto Maple Leafs may not be landing the model after all.
Thought to be the favorites to land free-agent goaltender Mantas Armalis, the signing appears to be off the table, reports Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman in his latest "30 Thoughts" piece.
Friedman writes:
The Maple Leafs added a different netminder, Kasimir Kaskisuo, a Finn who played at Minnesota-Duluth. Not sure if Toronto chose one over the other or if they had received word Armalis was going elsewhere, but it appears as if the Lithuanian-born, Swedish-trained goalie is joining San Jose.
In addition to being a professional goaltender, Armalis is also a male model. Some people have it all.
The 23-year-old had a .918 save percentage and 2.42 goals against average in 34 games with Djurgardens IF of the Swedish Hockey League this season.
