Philippe Myers Signs Two-Year Extension with Maple Leafs

Philippe Myers has secured a two-year contract extension with the Toronto Maple Leafs worth $1.7 million, following a challenging journey in the NHL where he often oscillated between the NHL and AHL. Myers, who was undrafted and signed by the Leafs as a free agent in 2024, has impressed with his consistent performance, averaging over 17 minutes of ice time in 11 games this season and often pairing with Morgan Rielly. The Maple Leafs, facing decisions about key players like Mitch Marner and John Tavares, have taken care of Myers' contract ahead of these crucial negotiations. Myers' story of resilience was highlighted by a personal anecdote of changing a flat tire on Canada's busiest highway en route to training camp, symbolizing his determined character. His extension reflects his valuable role in the team's present and future defensive lineup.
