Maple Leafs extend Holl on 3-year, $6M deal

The Toronto Maple Leafs have signed defenseman Justin Holl to a three-year contract extension with an average annual value of $2 million, the club announced Tuesday.

Holl has collected 11 points in 38 games in 2019-20 and has become a reliable defender for Toronto after working his way up from the ECHL and AHL.

He became the first Maple Leafs player and sixth blue-liner in league history to score a goal in each of his first two NHL games in 2017-18.

The 27-year-old joined the Maple Leafs organization in July 2015 when he signed an AHL deal with the Toronto Marlies. Holl inked his first NHL contract in July 2016.
