The Toronto Maple Leafs are adding some grit and depth in free agency.
Free agent Colton Sissons has agreed to a two-year deal with the Maple Leafs, the team announced on Wednesday.
Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reported that the deal is valued at $8.5 million.
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.
