The Toronto Maple Leafs have signed center Mikhail Grabovski to a 5 year contract extension.
James Mirtle via twitter: Grabovski’s deal for $27.5 million over 5 years, a $5.5 million cap hit.
Michael Traikos via twitter: Grabovski’s agent: “it was a complicated negotiation process.” They had been speaking on/off since October.
Grabovski will now be the Maple Leafs highest paid forward. Phil Kessel has a $5.4 million cap hit.
According to Capgeek.com, that would put the Leafs with 17 players under contract for next year, with a $56.7 million cap number.
