Breaking: Leafs announce the signing of 25-year-old forward.

The Toronto Maple Leafs have officially announced the signing of one of their young forwards.

A report from Toronto Maple Leafs public relations has confirmed that 25-year-old forward Zach Hyman and general manager Lou Lamoriello have agreed to terms on a new four year deal.

The Leafs have also revealed that Hyman will earn an average annual value of $2.25 million per season, a number that was likely bolstered by the fact that he put up 28 points this season while serving in a depth role.

Hyman was acquired through a trade with the Florida Panthers, and has proven to be a useful cog in the Maple Leafs roster since that deal.
