In 1995, he was traded (with Mike Grier) to the Edmonton Oilers for a first-round pick in the 1996 entry draft (eventually Marty Reasoner) and a first-round pick in the 1997 entry draft.

After Leafs General Manager Pat Quinn was unwilling to give Joseph a four year contract (he offered three years), he left after the 2001-2002 season to sign with the Detroit Red Wings.

Joseph moved to the Detroit Red Wings, who had just won the Stanley Cup, in an attempt to play for a team that had a better chance of winning the Stanley Cup. (Their goalie, Dominik Hašek, retired at the end of the playoffs.) Joseph initiallly was not popular with Red Wings fans but eventually found his form in the latter half of the 2002-03 season to backstop his team to the division title. Detroit was upset in the first round of the playoffs in 2003. In the 2003-2004 season he was originally Detroit's backup goalie when Hašek came out of retirement, and Detroit management tried to trade Joseph, since the team also had a capable backup in Manny Legacé. However, Joseph's $8 million USD per year contract made him hard to move. Ending up, Hašek's injuries allowed Joseph to play more regularly and the Wings finished first in the league. The Wings were defeated in the second round of the playoffs by the eventual Stanley Cup finalists from the Western Conference, the Calgary Flames.
