Maple Leafs announce new deal for Pontus Holmberg

The Toronto Maple Leafs and new general manager Brad Treliving have already taken care of an important matter of business, re-signing forward David Kampf to a four year contract worth $9.6 million. 

And now, the Leafs have announced another one of their assets will in fact be returning next season. Along with Kampf, Toronto has signed forward Pontus Holmberg to a two year contract extension worth $800,000 per season.
