Mermis spent the last four seasons with the Minnesota Wild organization.
On Tuesday, the Toronto Maple Leafs signed defensemen Dakota Mermis and Philippe Myers, as well as forward Cédric Paré, to one-year contracts. Each player’s cap hit will be $775,000 for the 2024-25 season.— Toronto Maple Leafs Mermis comes to Toronto after spending the last four seasons with the Minnesota Wild, also playing a good number of games with their American Hockey League affiliate, the Iowa Wild.
Myers is taking a significant pay cut. The 28-year-old signed a one-year extension with the Tampa Bay Lightning in August 2022, with a cap hit of $1.4 million. However, that contract was buried as Myers was with Tampa’s primary affiliate, the Syracuse Crunch, for most of last year. The Moncton, New Brunswick native played just five games with the Lightning, and 61 with the Crunch. In Syracuse, he scored four goals and 19 assists, including three assists in eight playoff games.
In 158 NHL games, Myers has scored eight goals and 28 assists with a +5 rating. In 238 AHL appearances, he has registered 28 goals and 89 assists, including 12 points in 26 playoff games.
