Centre coming from Vegas in Mitch Marner deal says he'll lean on his 'Stanley Cup experience' as he joins the Maple Leafs.

Toronto Maple Leafs forward Nicolas Roy is chomping at the bit to contribute to the winning ways of his new team. Roy was acquired as the primary return piece in the monumental sign-and-trade with the Vegas Golden Knights that saw Mitch Marner leave behind his childhood team on Tuesday.

Other than Mitch Marner's exit, this was easily the quietest start to free agency for the Maple Leafs in recent memory.

The Toronto Maple Leafs took care of major business on Sunday by re-signing Matthew Knies to a six-year, $46.5 million deal. The $7.75 million cap hit locks in a rising star and offers the kind of long-term value this franchise hasn’t seen often in its core contracts.
