'When Kyle called me, I was following my heart with the decision. Toronto was always my favourite.” Somehow, the MapleLeafs went from too many backup candidates to scrounging for more. Michal Neuvirth hopes to be Toronto's solution. (lukefoxjukebox)

Just one September ago, thewould have loved to finagle a way to keep all three of the goaltenders angling for crease time behind sure-shot starter Frederik Andersen.

This leaves Kyle Dubas and Mike Babcock with a choice between one of two Michals: Hutchinson, who entered camp on a one-year deal for the league minimum , or Neuvirth, who was granted a tryout and a series of free appointments with the club doctors.that if he’s going to stick in the highest league it will be as No. 2. But, as his three goals allowed in two periods of pre-season work against the Senators reminded, the front-runner hasn’t exactly sprinted away with the gig.

MLSE’s investment in medicine and sports science was the major selling point Dubas used to lure Neuvirth here without promise of employment. “It’s not ideal for him,” Babcock said. “If he wants to battle for a job, he’s got to be in a position to do that.
