The Toronto Maple Leafs took care of a major piece of business when the team re-signed forward John Tavares. Tavares has agreed to a four-year contract extension that will pay him $4.38 million per season. The 34-year old was slated to become an unrestricted free agent this summer.

Nicolas Roy is a solid third-line center who will help the Leafs and represents maybe the best-ever return in a sign-and-trade deal.

The Toronto Maple Leafs sent Mitch Marner to the Vegas Golden Knights in a stunning sign-and-trade deal before NHL free agency begins on Tuesday.
