Michael Pezzetta is living his childhood dream. Several hours after signing a two-year contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs carrying a $812,500 annual average value, the 27-year-old Toronto, Ontario native sat in his childhood room at his parents' house thinking, "How crazy is this?"

Michael Pezzetta is coming home. The Toronto-born forward has signed a two-year, $1.575 million deal to join the Maple Leafs, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reported Tuesday. According to Friedman, the deal is worth $775,000 in year one and $800,000 in year two.
