Kyle Clifford - Inks AHL contract Clifford signed a one-year AHL contract with the Marlies on Wednesday, per Lance Hornby of The Toronto Sun.

Impact The Marlies are the AHL affiliates of the Maple Leafs, but Clifford won't be eligible to play in the NHL under the terms of his new contract. If the Maple Leafs want to use him during the 2024-25 campaign, then they'll have to first sign him to at least a two-way deal. Clifford had 10 goals, 28 points and 140 PIM in 53 regular-season contests with the Marlies in 2023-24. He's also a veteran of 753 career NHL games, recording 66 goals, 144 points and 905 PIM over that span.

Connor Dewar - Grabs one-year deal Dewar (shoulder) inked a one-year, $1.18 million contract with Toronto on Tuesday.

Impact Dewar suited up in 17 regular-season contests for the Leafs last season after he was acquired via trade. In those outings, the 25-year-old center notched one goal, four assists and 20 shots while averaging 12:54 of ice time. While the Manitoba native is expected to recover in time for training camp from his shoulder injury, he probably shouldn't be expected to offer more than mid-range fantasy value, at best, given his lack of power-play minutes and bottom-six role.
