Maple Leafs sign Corrado to 1-year deal, avoid arbitration

The Toronto Maple Leafs avoided arbitration for a second time Monday by agreeing to terms on a one-year contract with defenseman Frank Corrado.

Corrado - who was claimed off waivers from the Vancouver Canucks this past season - joins Peter Holland. The forward was signed earlier in the day to avoid his arbitration meeting, which was scheduled for Tuesday.

The 23-year-old Corrado posted one goal and six points in 39 games with the Maple Leafs this season and contributed three assists in seven games with the Toronto Marlies of the American Hockey League.
