Overview

  • Dennis Hildeby signed a three-year contract extension with Toronto at an NHL AAV of $841,667, two-way for 2025-26 and 2026-27 before a one-way year in 2027-28.
  • The signing closes the Maple Leafs’ remaining restricted free agent business, resolving their last unsigned RFA.
  • Hildeby is expected to start for the AHL Marlies this season and serve as Toronto’s primary recall option behind Anthony Stolarz and Joseph Woll.
  • The 6-foot-7 Swede posted a 3-3-0 record with a 3.33 GAA and sub-.880 save percentage in six NHL starts last season, while his AHL body of work sits at a .909 save percentage and 2.53 GAA in 73 games with six shutouts.
  • Reports from The Fourth Period’s David Pagnotta indicate Toronto has begun extension discussions with Stolarz, reinforcing a projected NHL tandem of Stolarz and Woll with Hildeby as organizational depth.
