Gustavsson will definitely push Toskala hard -- he was the considered the best goalie not in the NHL, so it's almost as if the Leafs got another first-round draft pick when they signed him. He's much bigger than Toskala and he's publicly stated that he wants to push him.
On the other hand, Toskala's one of those goalies who always plays best when someone else is pushing him for the job, so maybe Gustavsson will bring out the best in him...
