As per [Darren Dreger](http://twitter.com/DarrenDreger/status/12225686334?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com), the [Toronto Maple Leafs](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/TOR?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) have signed restricted free agent [Jonas Gustavsson](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/72169/Jonas%5FGustavsson?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) to a two year deal worth $1.35M per season. [Chemmy took a look at his comparables earlier this year](https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/the-monsters-contract/) and this deal surpasses even that optimistic outlook:

I'd say a fair offer at this point for Gustavsson would be a shorter term deal, 2-3 years at between $1.5M and $1.75M. That's a decent raise that's probably more than he'd get in arbitration at this rate and gives him a chance to prove that he's worth more money to a club right around the time he's 28.

This deal is a boon to the [Toronto Maple Leafs' cap situation](http://www.capgeek.com/charts.php?Team=4&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) and a testament to both Brian Burke's negotiating skills and Jonas Gustavsson's desire to be a Maple Leaf. He surely appreciated the Leafs' acquisition of Francois Allaire and [Jean-Sebastien Giguere](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54527/Jean%5FSebastien%5FGiguere?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) as supports to ensure that he reaches his potential. He will have one more year of apprenticeship with Giguere and hopefully after a healthy season the Leafs will be able to decide if he is the goaltender of the future.

This signing should also give some hope that [James Mirtle's estimates won't be met](http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/hockey/globe-on-hockey/price-tag-going-up-for-gustavsson-kulemin/article1514769/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) and [Nikolai Kulemin](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54310/Nikolai%5FKulemin?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) will come in at a cheaper price than anticipated.
