Maple Leafs sign 2015 draftees Nielsen, Timashov

The Toronto Maple Leafs inked two of nine prospects chosen at the 2015 draft to entry-level contracts Monday, agreeing to terms with defenseman Andrew Nielsen and forward Dmytro Timashov.

Nielsen is scoring at better than a point-per-game pace off the blue line in his third season with the Western Hockey League's Lethbridge Hurricanes. He was selected in the third round, 65th overall.

Timashov, a fifth-round selection, has 13 goals and 41 points in 23 games with the Quebec Remparts of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.
