Maple Leafs sign McMann to 2-year, $2.7M extension

The Toronto Maple Leafs signed forward Bobby McMann to a two-year contract with an average annual value of $1.35 million, the team announced Wednesday.

McMann has 10 goals and 18 points in 40 games this season. After clearing waivers to begin the campaign, the 27-year-old has become a fixture in the Maple Leafs' lineup since mid-November.

The Wainwright, Alberta, native has eight goals and 11 points in his last 14 games, highlighted by a hat trick against the St. Louis Blues on Feb. 13.

McMann went undrafted out of the Alberta Junior Hockey League and played four seasons at Colgate University. He signed an AHL contract with the Toronto Marlies in 2020.

The 6-foot-2 winger earned an NHL contract with Toronto in 2022 after scoring 24 goals and 35 points in 61 games, setting the Marlies' record for rookie goals.

McMann was set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer. He cost $762,500 against the salary cap this season, less than the league minimum of $775,000.
