Two new signings by the Maple Leafs organization include a 6-foot-1 defenseman
The Toronto Maple Leafs organization has revealed two new AHL contracts signed, one of which is a 6-foot-1, tough defenseman.
Brad Treliving made significant changes to the Toronto Maple Leafs' defense this summer with key signings like Chris Tanev and Oliver Ekman-Larsson, but it seems he hasn't overlooked the Toronto Marlies.
In exciting news, the Marlies have signed two promising players: Matteo Pietroniro and Zach Solow.
"The Toronto Marlies are re-signing LHD Matteo Pietroniro to an AHL contract for 2024-25.
Pietroniro recorded 9 points (2G-7A) and 66 PIM in 40GP with AHL-Toronto this past season."
"The Toronto Marlies are also re-signing forward Zach Solow to an AHL deal.
Solow tallied 11G-15A and 132PIM in 66GP with the Marlies this past season."
At 25 years old and undrafted, Pietroniro will enter his fourth season with the Marlies. Known for his physical play, he's not shy about blocking shots and delivering hits. While his offensive contributions are rare, when they do happen, they look like this:
Zach Solow, a 26-year-old right winger, has spent the past two seasons with the Toronto Marlies.
As the Marlies prepare for the upcoming season, they aim to advance past the first round of the AHL playoffs after a disappointing exit against the Belleville Senators.
