Leafs lock up Joffrey Lupul for five years
Joffrey Lupul - W - Toronto Maple Leafs
Jan. 20, 2013 - 12:50 PM ET
The Toronto Maple Leafs signed Joffrey Lupul to a five-year, $26.25 million contract extension on Sunday.
The deal reportedly includes a limited no-trade clause where he can hand the Buds a list of 14 teams he'd be willing to join. That's especially relevant to the 29-year-old winger, who's been a part of four swaps in his career. He becomes one of Toronto's few forwards locked up beyond the 2013-14 season. If healthy, he's a deep draft bargain as Phil Kessel's running mate.
