The Toronto Maple Leafs knock one thing off their to-do list by re-signing one of their long list of RFAs. They get Adam Brooks under contract for two more years and avoid arbitration. They also get him at a good price. The deal is a two-way contract with an AAV of $725,000. Other details have not yet been reported.
Brooks, drafted in 2016 as an overager, was taken 92nd overall. He has played seven NHL games with three assists so far, and is expected to be on the “taxi squad” of Marlies assigned to the Leafs if and when the 2019-2020 season resumes.
