Maple Leafs Sign Landon Sim to Two-Year Entry-Level Contract

The deal adds a low-cost, physical winger to Toronto’s depth chart.

Overview

  • The contract begins in 2026–27 after Sim spent this season on a one-year minor-league deal with the Marlies.
  • Sim split time between the AHL and ECHL, logging 13 games and three goals for the Marlies and 18 games and six points for Cincinnati.
  • He was a 2022 sixth-round pick by the Blues who went unsigned, then posted 30 goals with OHL London and won the 2025 Memorial Cup.
  • Coverage projects him as a tough, energy winger who is a long shot for a regular NHL role but a possible short-term call-up.
  • He will be a restricted free agent in 2028, and his signing brings Toronto to 33 of the 50 allowable NHL standard contracts for next season.
