Wayne Simmonds Signs With the Maple Leafs

The Toronto Maple Leafs have announced Wayne Simmonds has signed a one-year contract with the club.

The deal is for $1.5 million and includes a full no-movement clause. Simmonds received offers from Montreal and Calgary but it was the Leafs where he wanted to hopefully spark his career and hit the reset button a little bit, after a down year with the Devils and the Sabres.

Simmonds will bring a physicality the Leafs so desperately need and can slot into their top-9 forwards. 

Expect a busy day from the Maple Leafs, as they look for creative ways to upgrade their team with limited funds.
