Veteran defender Martin Marincin has decided not to head off into unrestricted free agency, and instead has signed another one-year deal with Toronto. Marincin takes a $100k pay cut to stay with the team, signing for [league minimum $700,000](https://twitter.com/LeafsPR/status/1145021981600956419?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com).

A cynic would suggest this indicates a lack of interest in the left defender, but Marincin has been a useful piece for both the Leafs and the Marlies since he signed in Toronto in 2015\. Cheap replacement defence that the coaching staff already knows — not a bad deal.
