Overview
- Toronto signed 24-year-old Jacob Quillan to a one-year, two-way contract that reports show carries an $850,000 NHL salary, a $350,000 AHL salary, and a $375,000 guarantee.
- Quillan was a restricted free agent with arbitration rights and chose not to file for arbitration before the deadline.
- An undrafted Quinnipiac product, Quillan has developed quickly in the Maple Leafs system and has 23 NHL games and strong AHL production across his two pro seasons.
- Recent veteran additions to the Leafs’ bottom six under GM John Chayka have created immediate competition for fourth-line center and depth forward roles, making a full-time NHL spot less likely for Quillan.
- The deal materially raises Quillan’s pay versus his expired entry-level contract and most likely keeps him as the organization’s priority call-up and a top-six center for the Marlies in 2026–27.
