The Toronto Maple Leafs are sticking with one of the pieces they acquired at last year’s trade deadline.
The Maple Leafs re-signed Connor Dewar to a one-year, $1.18 million contract Tuesday as the two sides opted to avoid arbitration.
Dewar joined the Maple Leafs from the Minnesota Wild at the trade deadline in March in exchange for centre Dmitry Ovchinnikov and a fourth-round pick.
The 25-year-old Dewar had one goal and four assists in 17 regular season games with the Maple Leafs and one assist in six playoff games. Overall, he had 11 goals and eight assists in 74 games.
Dewar was drafted in the third round, 92nd overall, by the Wild in 2018. He spent the better part of three seasons with the Iowa Wild, Minnesota’s AHL affiliate.
Since making his NHL debut in 2021, he has tallied 19 goals and 24 points in 190 games.
