Toronto Maple Leafs Lock Up Defenseman Emil Andrae on 2-Year Deal

The Toronto Maple Leafs made a move Sunday morning, inking restricted free agent defenseman Emil Andrae to a two-year contract extension.

While the team did not release the financial details of the agreement, TSN reported the total value of the deal at $3.1 million.

Andrae came to Toronto as part of a trade with the Philadelphia Flyers on June 16. In that deal, the Maple Leafs also received goaltender Samuel Ersson and a third-round selection in the 2026 NHL Draft. In return, Philadelphia received defenseman Simon Benoit and goaltender Joseph Woll.

The 24-year-old Andrae wrapped up his three-year entry-level contract after putting up 13 points — two goals and 11 assists — across 61 games during the most recent season.

Originally selected by Philadelphia in the second round of the 2020 NHL Draft, Andrae has accumulated 20 points in 107 career games since making his NHL debut with the Flyers in October 2023, tallying three goals and 17 assists over that stretch.
