Quillan and Benoit Join the Blue and White

Toronto Sports Stats Reports

In a flurry of activity ahead of the NHL trade deadline, the Toronto Maple Leafs have signed forward Jacob Quillan and defenceman Simon Benoit to three-year contracts.

Quillan, a 23-year-old left winger, has recorded 15 goals and 20 assists in 50 games this season with the San Diego Gulls in the AHL. He is known for his speed and offensive instincts.

Benoit, a 24-year-old right-handed defenceman, has 3 goals and 15 assists in 52 games with the Manitoba Moose in the AHL. He is a physical presence who can move the puck well.

The Maple Leafs are hoping that Quillan and Benoit can provide some depth and energy to their lineup as they make a push for the playoffs. The team currently sits third in the Atlantic Division, seven points behind the Boston Bruins.

Sources close to the team believe that the Maple Leafs are not done making moves, and that they are still looking to add a top-six forward before the deadline.
