The Calgary Flames goaltending tandem went from one of the most questionable to, at least on paper, one that appears solid. Curtis Joseph, a 40 year old netminder recently off a Spengler Cup victory, opted for the Flames to play out the remainder of the season. His deal is for this year alone and will pay him half of 1.5 million. His role will be to push Miikka Kiprusoff who has displayed signs of wear in recent months.
Curtis Joseph Joins Calgary Flames
Committed to the playoff run, the Calgary Flames have signed Joseph to a one-year, $1.5 million contract. The Flames and Rangers were the frontrunners for Joseph’s services over the past week, while the San Jose Sharks and Toronto Maple Leafs also expressed interest. The signing also reunites Joseph with head coach Mike Keenan from their brief campaign with the St. Louis Blues.
