The Toronto Maple Leafs have once again pulled a rabbit out of a hat.
On Friday, it was announced that the Toronto Maple Leafs signed Travis Dermott to a one-year contract extension for just slightly above the league minimum.
While I don’t like the rules that allow a billion dollar corporation to force a very successful player to take much less money than he deserves, or that get me to cheer for it, this is a coup for the Leafs.
