The 24-year-old forward spent almost all of last season on the wing with the Toronto Marlies.

Nick Abruzzese will remain in the Maple Leafs organization for two more years.

The 24-year-old signed a two-year, two-way contract with Toronto on Monday that carries an AAV of $775,000.

According the Puckpedia.com, Abruzzese will earn $175,000 at the AHL level in 2023-24. That number increases to $250,000 in 2024-25 with a combined minimum guarantee of $350,000.

Abruzzese spent nearly all of last season with the Toronto Marlies' top-six, scoring 48 points (16 goals, 32 assists) in 69 games. He finished the season tied for fifth in the AHL's rookie scoring race.

The 24-year-old played two games with the Maple Leafs last season, putting up two assists in that span. Abruzzese, in total, has played 11 games at the NHL level and 69 games at the AHL level. The player’s rights were retained when he was extended a qualifying offer by the Maple Leafs on June 30.

The expectation is that Abruzzese will push for a Maple Leafs roster spot in training camp, and if he doesn't make it, he will be sent to the Marlies as he is waivers exempt.
