Blues Re-Sign Goaltender Hannu Toivonen

The St. Louis Blues announced that they have re-signed goaltender Hannu Toivonen to a new contract. The exact length and financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. In 52 games last season with Ilves Tampere of the Finnish League, Toivonen posted a 19-23-0 record with a 2.68 GAA and a .910 save percentage. He last played in the NHL with the Blues during the 2007-08 season, appearing in 23 games and posting a 6-10-5 record with a 3.44 GAA and .878 save percentage. The Blues have likely signed Toivonen as minor league depth for their AHL affiliate in Peoria, as they already appearing set with Chris Mason and Ty Conklin as their two netminders next season. Toivonen has struggled mightily in the NHL since his relatively successful rookie season in 2005-06 and spent last season in Finland to get back on his game, but only played okay. He could be called upon to be the backup if Mason or Conklin miss a lot of time with an injury, but I have my doubts that he will ever play regularly in the NHL again.
