Maple Leafs Sign Jay Rosehill to One-Year Deal

The Toronto Maple Leafs announced on Thursday that they have signed left wing Jay Rosehill to a one-year, two-way contract worth $600,000. He would have been eligible for Group Six unrestricted free agency on July 1. In 26 games last season with the Maple Leafs, he had one goal and two assists for three points and 71 penalty minutes. He also appeared in 32 games with the Toronto Marlies of the AHL, scoring seven goals and six assists for 13 points and 114 penalty minutes. This is really just a depth signing for the Maple Leafs, but not a horrible one. Rosehill will likely spend some of next season in the minors, but if he sees any NHL action, he will bring lots of grit and toughness to the checking lines.
