Per a team announcement, the Toronto Maple Leafs have signed forward Bobby McMann to a two-year, $2.7M extension, paying McMann an AAV of $1.35M a year. McMann is currently in the last year of a two-year, $1.525M contract signed with the Maple Leafs after the conclusion of his NCAA career back in 2022.
In college, McMann spent his tenure with Colgate University in the ECAC Hockey Division. Over a four-year career, McMann suited up in 145 games for the Raiders, scoring a total of 37 goals and 92 points. In his last year with the team, serving as the captain, McMann put together a 10-goal 20-point season in 30 games, leading to his entry-level contract with Toronto after their season had concluded.
In his first full year with the Maple Leafs organization in 2021-22, McMann spent the entire year in the AHL, playing for the Toronto Marlies. Getting off to an impressive start, McMann went on to score 24 goals and 35 points in 61 games, finishing second on the team in goal-scoring. Last season, even though he was able to register 10 games in the NHL with the Maple Leafs, McMann once again spent the majority of the season in the minors, becoming a near-point-per-game player putting up 21 goals and 29 points in 30 games.
Finally, McMann has become a full-time player at the NHL level with Toronto and has become a legitimate goal-scoring threat. He did get off to a slow start this season at the game’s highest level but has put together a recent hot streak. In his last 15 games for the Maple Leafs, McMann has scored eight goals and 11 points over that stretch, earning a spot next to Matthew Knies and David Kampf on the team’s third line.
