Toronto Maple Leafs GM John Chayka has made another acquisition of a player who can play the center position in the NHL.

After inking Jack Roslovic and Colton Sissons to two-year contracts, the Maple Leafs have acquired center Teddy Blueger, offering him the same term as the other two additions. Across Blueger's two years, he'll earn $2.5 million per season, per Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.

Blueger's last contract was with the Vancouver Canucks, when he earned $1.8 million per season on a two-year deal.

This past year, the 31-year-old recorded nine goals and 17 points in 35 appearances for Vancouver. He missed over three months to start the campaign with an injury.

In a full 82-game season in 2024-25, Blueger scored eight goals and 27 points, which is around the range of offensive production that should be expected from the Latvian.

It's worth mentioning that Blueger is a former Stanley Cup champion as he hoisted the Cup with the Vegas Golden Knights in 2022-23. He was a trade deadline pickup, scoring six points and averaged 13:16 of ice time in the regular season.

He wasn't utilized much more when it came to that post-season, racking up just two points in six appearances, playing 10:30 of ice time per game.
