The team signed Pacioretty to a one-year deal worth $873,770 and Lorentz to a one-year contract worth $775,000. Toronto also inked prospect Cade Webber to an extension.
Pacioretty had five points (two goals, three assists) in four pre-season games with the Maple Leafs. Lorentz, playing most of his time on Toronto’s fourth line alongside Ryan Reaves and David Kampf, had one goal through four pre-season games.
When Pacioretty signed the PTO, the expectation was that he’d get a contract once training camp wrapped up, per his agent, Allan Walsh.
According to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman, Pacioretty has a games-played bonus which could reach up to $600,000. If he hits that, it would count towards the Maple Leafs’ cap next season.

The Maple Leafs also announced a two-year extension for defenseman Cade Webber beginning in 2025-26 worth $825,000 per season
The Leafs acquired the defenseman in March from the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for a sixth-round pick. The Leafs signed him to a two-year entry-level contract just before the playoffs began last spring.
