The Toronto Maple Leafs are adding some grit and depth in free agency.

Free agent Colton Sissons signed a two-year, $8.5-million deal with the Maple Leafs on Wednesday, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reported on Wednesday.

The 32-year-old forward spent last season with the Vegas Golden Knights, recording six goals and 11 points in 66 games.

Prior to that, the North Vancouver, B.C., native was a longtime Nashville Predator, spending 11 seasons in Music City before he was traded to Vegas last off-season.

Sissons ranked first amongst the Predators in hits with 1,131 since 2015-16.

Selected 50th overall by the Predators in 2012, Sissons has 101 goals and 231 points in 756 career games.
