On Sunday, the Toronto Maple Leafs announced that the team has signed defenseman Nick Blankenburg to a one-year contract. The deal will carry a cap hit of $1.4 million for the 2026-27 season.

Blankenburg was an unrestricted free agent after his two-year contract, which he signed with the Nashville Predators in July 2024, came to an end this summer. That deal had a league-minimum salary of $775,000.
