Former Maple Leafs goaltender Justin Pogge interested in return to NHL
Justin Pogge isn't going to give up that easily.
The former Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender, who appeared in just seven games for the squad in 2008-09, is interested in making a return to the NHL.
"I would love a deal that would give me the best chance at getting back into the NHL," Pogge told Dhiren Mahiban of Pro Hockey Talk. "A one-way deal would ideal."
Pogge, 29, currently plays for Farjestad BK of the Swedish Hockey League.
He earned a record of 13-13-0 with a goals-against average of 2.01 and a save percentage of .926 in 30 appearances for the squad.
The former third-round pick in the 2004 NHL Entry Draft has one year remaining on his deal in Sweden, but his contract carries an NHL-out clause, which means he can sign in North America before June 15.
