The Toronto Maple Leafs signed restricted free agent Rasmus Sandin to a two-year, $2.8 million contract on Thursday. The defenceman will carry a cap hit of $1.4 million under the new deal.
Sandin, who was the last remaining restricted free agent for Toronto, signed an identical deal to the one fellow RFA defenceman Timothy Liljegren signed earlier this summer.
TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun reports Sandin elected to end the contract stalemate between the two sides and accept the Maple Leafs' offer as injuries to the team's defence built up.
Rasmus Sandin and his agent Lewis Gross reached out to Leafs GM Kyle Dubas early this morning and expressed a desire to end the contract stalemate.
