Report: Prusek signs deal

[TimmyTabasco]

Unrestricted free agent goaltender Martin Prusek has agreed to terms on a contract, but where he will end up remains a mystery, TFP has learned.
"He has a deal in place with a team," Prusek's agent Allan Walsh confirmed to TFP, "but I cannot comment on who that team is.

"The team requested I keep that (details) confidential, but that team will release that information in two or three days."

Prusek, 29, went 16-6-3 in 29 games with the Ottawa Senators during the 2003-04 season.

The possibility still remains that Prusek could end up in Ottawa, but Walsh would not confirm those reports. He did, however, deny reports that his client has signed with the Montreal Canadiens, a story speculated for a good portion of today.
"I can tell you it is not the Montreal Canadiens," Walsh said, referring to a contract with a club.

In 48 career NHL games, Prusek has posted a 28-9-4 record with a 2.23 goals against average and a .913 save percentage.

Wow, what a mystery :conspire: :nod:

The Leafs. :]

That is really bizzarre. Wonder which team it could be. Maybe it has something to do with Esche in Philly, or possibly in Vancouver. Or maybe even, like the article said, he will stay in Ottawa?

Meh, it was time for him to go. If he was willing to sign a two-way deal fine, we'd take him back. But at age 30 he's as good as he's going to get - a backup goalie. Emery can fill that need for less $$$ and projects to be quite a bit better than Marty in the long run.

Still, he was a good team player and very accepting of his role. Best of luck in..... er...... thanks for coming out Prusek! :wave:

The Leafs. :]
I thought the Leafs already had a goalie better than Patrick Roy in their system. :D

No. There is some sort of a blockage.

Well, we've been screaming for a signing of anyone, so it would make sense that we sign a position which we have pretty much covered for this season. :doh:

[TimmyTabasco]

Wouldnt be surprised if it was LA. They need someone behind Garon.
