The Maple Leafs have signed Oliver Ekman-Larsson to a four-year deal worth $14.0 million ($3.5M AAV).

Recent cup winner Oliver Ekman-Larsson will join the Toronto Maple Leafs on a four-year deal worth $14.0 million ($3.5M AAV). The 32-year-old is coming off his strongest statistical season since 2018-19 after he had nine goals and 32 points in 80 games with the Panthers in 2023-24.

Ekman-Larsson (upper-body) is on the ice for warmups and is expected to play in Detroit on Thursday.

Ekman-Larsson was forced to leave the Panthers' previous game after taking a high hit from Charlie McAvoy which led to a four-game suspension and was a game-time decision Thursday vs. Detroit. The 32-year-old signed a one-year, $2.25 million contract with the Panthers in the offseason and has a goal, two assists, 21 SOG and six PIMs in eight games this season.

The Canucks have acquired Oliver-Ekman Larsson and Conor Garland from the Coyotes for Jay Beagle, Loui Eriksson, Antoine Roussel, the No.9 overall pick in the 2021 NHL Draft, a 2022 second-round pick and a 2022 seventh-round pick.

Ekman-Larsson was one of the best goal-scoring defensemen in the NHL from 2014-to-2019 but his game has slipped a bit in recent years. Ekman-Larsson has a tough time in his own end but brings an offensive punch to the Canucks' blueline that already features Quinn Hughes. In a full 82-game season, you can almost certainly plug O.E.L in for double-digit goals and 30-plus assists.
