The Toronto Maple Leafs announced today that the hockey club has re-signed Bobby McMann to a two-year contract extension. The average annual value of the contract is $1.35 million.

The Wainwright, AB native has collected 19 points (10 goals, nine assists) in 50 career NHL games with the Maple Leafs while recording 71 points (49 goals, 22 assists) in 118 career AHL games with the Toronto Marlies.
Prior to turning pro, McMann recorded 92 points (37G, 55A) in 145 career NCAA games with Colgate University. McMann served as captain during the 2019-20 season and was named to the NCAA (ECAC) Third All-Star Team in 2018-19.
The 6’2, 210-pound forward originally joined the Maple Leafs organization as a free agent on April 2, 2020.
If you don't love Bobby McMann, you don't love hockey.
Undrafted, and signed originally to an AHL contract out of college, Bobby McMann has worked his way into the regular lineup and this season has been a blast. There's too much McMann all over the place.
Hat tricks, amazing moves, and he helps make the bottom six seem like it's legit. Is it real? You bet. HockeyViz has him with legitimate defensive impacts and a positive impact on offence. Evolving Hockey shows the same thing. He's a legitimate third liner that makes a fourth line high-end.
No he shouldn't be dumped for some minimum salary guy in a cost-cutting move. He should be on the Maple Leafs.
