Maple Leafs Sign Brandon Buhr to One-Year Deal Beginning in 2026–27 With Marlies Tryout

The undrafted 23-year-old goal scorer arrives as a low-cost NCAA addition Toronto will assess in the AHL.

Overview

  • Toronto signed Buhr to a one-year contract that starts in 2026–27 and assigned him to the Marlies on an amateur tryout for the remainder of this season.
  • Buhr led Union College with 36 points this year, posting 19 goals and 17 assists in 35 games.
  • He previously played nine games at Clarkson before three seasons at Union and earlier skated in the BCHL with the Alberni Valley Bulldogs.
  • Scouting reports highlight his 6-foot-2 frame, plus skating and shot, with defensive development noted; Elite Prospects ranked him highly among undrafted free agents.
  • He joins former Union teammate John Prokop on the Marlies, and the move follows Toronto’s signing of Northeastern defenseman Vincent Borgesi a day earlier.
