The Toronto Maple Leafs had a relatively quiet July 1st and if it wasn’t as quiet as it was there a strong likelihood that we would be talking about Michael Pezzetta a lot less.

Michael Pezzetta is living his childhood dream. Several hours after signing a two-year contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs carrying a $812,500 annual average value, the 27-year-old Toronto, Ontario native sat in his childhood room at his parents' house thinking, "How crazy is this?"

The Maple Leafs have signed free agent forward Michael Pezzetta to a two-year contract with an AAV of $775,000, league sources told The Athletic’s Chris Johnston. The depth forward was a sixth-round pick of the Montreal Canadiens in 2016 and has spent most of the past four seasons in Montreal.
