The Toronto Star is reporting today that the Maple Leafs have signed goaltender Mark Owuya of the Swedish Elite League to a 2 yr entry level contract.
Owuya also known as "Mark in the park" is a well known Swedish rapper. He has performed on Swedish Idol and also has his own website. I listened to one of his songs at markindapark.com and all I have to say is; I hope he stops pucks better than he writes rhymes or else the Leafs are in for another long season.
Though, it is not likely that the 6 foot 2, 21 yr old, 2009 Junior Silver medalist will see much time in the NHL this upcoming season. With this signing the Leafs now have six goalies in the mix for next year. They also officially have the best nicknames for goalies in the NHL.
J.S. (Jiggy) Gigure is a free agent this summer and unless he is willing to take a drastic pay cut from the 6 + million he made this year, I don't see him returning to the lineup.
Jonas (The Monster) Gustavsson is a contender for the number one position on the Leafs squad, but, with all of the injury problems he has had I doubt he is a viable option for the starter position.
James (Optimus Reim) Reimer is likely to be in net when the Leafs hit the ice this fall. Although a restricted free agent this summer I don't see the Leafs allowing him to play anywhere else after this seasons performance.
Jussi Rynnas a Finnish tender picked up last year played this season with the Marlies. He is a possible for the Leafs back up position.
Ben Scrivens also spent the past season with the Marlies organization and will likely start their again next year.
Mark (in da park) Owuya played for Djurgarden of the Swedish Elite League this year. He had a league best .927 save percentage with a 2.18 goals against average. Owuya will likely start the season out playing for the AHL's Toronto Marlies.
