TORONTO (AP) -The Maple Leafs have reached an agreement with defenseman Francois Beauchemin on a three-year contract.
The signing reunites the physical defenseman with Toronto general manager Brian Burke, who was Beauchemin’s GM with the Anaheim Ducks.
“I try to play an aggressive style of game,” Beauchemin said Monday on a conference call. “Solid in the D-zone, I try to contribute offensively when I can, I just try to be hard to play against.”
The 29-year-old Beauchemin missed 62 games last season due to a knee injury last season, but returned to play in the final two regular-season games and all 13 playoff contests for Anaheim.
