Simon Benoit arguably has been the most pleasant surprise of the Toronto Maple Leafs’ season.
And now, he has been rewarded with a three-year extension, announced on Friday.
Benoit’s cap hit for his age 26, 27 and 28 seasons will be $1.35 million – nearly double the $775,000 he’s pulling in this season.
It’s quite a reward for someone who wasn’t in the Leafs’ opening-night lineup after a shaky training camp and who even briefly spent time with the Toronto Marlies last fall.
