Tanev signs 6-year,  million contract with Maple Leafs | NHL.com

The Maple Leafs also signed goalie Joseph Woll to a three-year, $10.98 million contract Monday ($3.66 million AAV) which begins in the 2025-26 season.

The moves came one day after Toronto signed forward Max Domi to a four-year, $15 million contract ($3.75 million AAV) and defenseman Timothy Liljegren a two-year, $6 million contract ($3 million AAV).

Domi, who could have become an unrestricted free agent Monday, had 47 points (nine goals, 38 assists) in 80 regular-season games for Toronto this season and four points (one goal, three assists) in seven playoff games.

Selected by the Phoenix Coyotes in the first round (No. 12) of the 2013 NHL Draft, the 29-year-old has 417 points (130 goals, 287 assists) in 661 regular-season games for the Maple Leafs, Dallas Stars, Chicago Blackhawks, Carolina Hurricanes, Columbus Blue Jackets, Montreal Canadiens and Coyotes and 26 points (seven goals, 19 assists) in 50 playoff games.

“That’s the reason why I signed here,” Domi said Monday. “It’s my hometown and wanted to be here. I had a dream of winning a Stnaley Cup from as long as I can remember being two years old whenever I started playing hockey. Long before I knew anything about cashing a paycheck and that dream hasn’t changed. Whenever I had that dream, I was always wearing a Leafs jersey. Pretty fitting I have the chance to play here for the next handful of years and I chose to be here, I want to be here and I believe in this group. Bringing in a guy like Chief (Craig Berube) and the staff he has hired is super exciting for a player. This group is hungry.”
