Sport category: Hockey Maple Leafs cut Belfour Domi
Date: 01-07-2006 10:31
Goaltender Ed Belfour and forward Tie Domi are officially former Toronto Maple Leafs.
As expected, general manager John Ferguson declined to pick up the option Friday on Belfour's contract and bought out Domi's.
Both players will become unrestricted free agents Saturday at noon ET.
The 41-year-old Belfour will be paid $1.5 million over a two-year period, all of which will count against the salary cap.
The 17-year veteran had a disappointing 2005-06 season with Toronto, compiling a record of 22-22-4 with a 3.29 goals-against average.
"Eddie added a lot to the Toronto Maple Leafs and we appreciate all that he did for us," Ferguson said.
"At this stage we are taking a different direction, and we feel privileged to have had one of the game's great goalies play for the Maple Leafs."
On Dec. 19, 2005, Belfour defeated the New York Islanders to pass Terry Sawchuk for second place in all-time NHL victories.
A native of Carman, Man., Belfour went 93-61-15 with a 2.51 GAA in three seasons with Toronto.
