Today the Maple Leafs announced they have extended Nic Petan for a two years. Irfaan Gaffar of Sportsnet had the scoop on the deal three days ago.
The 23-year-old Petan, who is eight days older than Trevor Moore, would have been an arbitration eligible RFA this summer. His salary this season is $874,125 on a one-way deal. Petan will be making an $775,000 AAV for the next two seasons which will see him become an RFA again at the age of 26 in 2022.
Petan was acquired in a deadline trade for Par Lindholm, who has appeared in only two games for the Jets since the trade.
