Leafs bringing back Jason Spezza for another year

The Toronto Maple Leafs made a lot of their fans happy on Wednesday. They officially announced they have signed veteran forward Jason Spezza to a one-year, $750,000 contract.

The 38-year old, who is coming off a great 2020/21 campaign, still believes the team has what it takes to win a Stanley Cup despite their shocking first round exit earlier this postseason.

“I know where the team’s at with the cap and everything. And I’ll be honest, all I care about is playing on a good team and just trying to win. So if I could take less I would,” said Spezza.

“You know, I love playing the game. I love competing. The chase of a Cup is at the forefront of my mind, you know, daily. And anything I can do to kind of help the team acquire better players, that’s kind of why I just take the league minimum and want to move forward.”
