The Maple Leafs have signed Denis Malgin to a one-year, $700K contract extension.

Malgin was a fourth-round pick of the Panthers in 2015 and was with the organization from 2017 to February of 2020 when he was dealt to Toronto. Upon his arrival in Ontario's Capital, Malgin had no points in eight games for the Maple Leafs. He still did enough to earn a one-year extension but given Toronto's depth, he could start 2021 in the AHL.
