Maple Leafs Sign Ben Scrivens to One-Year Contract

The Toronto Maple Leafs announced on Thursday that they have re-signed goaltender Ben Scrivens to a one-year, two-way contract worth $600,000. He would have been a restricted free agent on July 1. In 33 games last season with Toronto of the AHL, he posted a 13-12-5 record, two shutouts, a 2.33 GAA, and a .924 save percentage. He also appeared in 13 games with Reading of the ECHL, posting a 10-3-0 record, with a 2.23 GAA and a .938 save percentage. Not a bad depth signing for the Maple Leafs, as Scrivens has plenty of upside to become a regular NHL goaltender one day. More than likely, he will spend the entire 2011-12 season in the minors.
