6th year undrafted center Zach Sill(22) was probably a bit surprised and happy to be dealt before the trade deadline from Pittsburgh Penguins to the rebuilding Toronto Maple Leafs.
The 6′ 205 lbs. fourth line agitator started his pro career in the AHL with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins for two seasons before scoring his first major contract, which was extended twice.
It’s up at the end of the current campaign so he’ll have to prove himself with his new team to earn another deal.
2014-2015 has been the 26-year old’s first full run in the show but he’s scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent.
Not exactly know for his scoring prowess, although he did score his first NHL goal and added a pair of assists, he’s mostly used to get under the skin of opponents and welcomes any encounter.
He has 5 fighting majors this season and will likely battle his way into a new contract.
