Maple Leafs sign another young forward on Thursday.

The Toronto Maple Leads announced another signing on Thursday following the official signing of their first overall pick Auston Matthews.

This move once again demonstrated the Leafs commitment to a youth movement, signing forward Josh Leivo to a two-year deal, it's unclear at this time if this is a one-way or two-way deal.

Leivo is a relative unknown to most, having only appeared in 12 games for the Maple Leafs last season, but there's a belief that he will be a regular contributor at the National Hockey League level this season, and while it's no confirmation, a multi-year deal does seem to suggest the Leafs see some promise here. While he did only put up 5 points in those 12 games, all five of them were goals and he was a plus minus 2 over that stretch, certainly signs of promise.
