The Toronto Maple Leafs have agreed to terms with restricted free-agent defenceman Cody Franson to a one-year, $2 million contract.
Franson has spent the last two seasons of his four-year NHL career with the Leafs, after being acquired in a trade with the Nashville Predators.
In 45 games last season, Franson scored four goals and a career high 25 assists, with a plus-8 rating.
The Salmon Arm, BC native also appeared in all seven playoff games the Leafs played last year and had six points, including three goals in the first round defeat to the Boston Bruins.
The 26-year-old defenceman was drafted in the third round, 79th overall of the 2005 NHL Entry Draft by the Predators. He made his debut during the 2009-10 season and spent the first two years of his career in Nashville.
Last season, Franson made $1.2 million on a one-year deal he signed with the Maple Leafs.
