What happened: The Toronto Maple Leafs have signed forward Duhaime to a three-year contract. The move adds a physical, high-energy presence to Toronto's forward group ahead of the 2026-27 season.

Why it matters: The deal gives the Maple Leafs added grit and forward depth as they continue reshaping their roster this offseason. Duhaime's physical, north-south style addresses a need for toughness in the bottom six.

What to watch: Watch where Duhaime slots into Toronto's forward lines and whether he locks down a regular role out of training camp.
