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 Toronto Maple Leafs will look noticeably different when they take to the ice this coming October for the first time.

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.
