The Toronto Maple Leafs have signed defenceman Dakota Mermis to a two-year contract, solidifying their defensive lineup as they continue to shape their roster for the upcoming NHL season. Mermis, who has experience in both the AHL and NHL, brings valuable versatility to the blue line, enhancing the team's depth as they aim for a successful campaign.
