Maple Leafs Re-Sign John Tavares for 4 Years and the Oilers Keep Trent Frederic Around Long Term

  • On June 27, 2025, the Toronto Maple Leafs announced that centre John Tavares had agreed to extend his stay with the team by signing a deal lasting four more years.
  • This renewal came as Tavares approached unrestricted free agency on July 1 after completing a seven-year, $77 million deal signed in 2018.
  • Tavares, 34, played 75 games last season with 38 goals and 36 assists, his best scoring total since 2018-19, while the team again fell short in playoffs.
  • The extension averages $4.38 million annually, and GM Brad Treliving noted ongoing contract talks with star Mitch Marner, who may enter free agency.
  • The re-signing secures Tavares’ presence amid calls for team changes, as he will not be part of GM Treliving’s proclaimed shifts after repeated playoff failures.
