Maple Leafs sign Miro Aaltonen to entry-level contract

The Toronto Maple Leafs have added a body from overseas, announcing the entry-level signing of 23-year-old forward Miro Aaltonen on Friday.

Aaltonen is a former sixth-round draft selection of the Anaheim Ducks. He's spent the last six seasons playing professionally overseas, most recently leading the KHL's 24-and-under class in scoring with 19 goals and 44 points in 59 games with Chekhov Vityaz.

He's 5-foot-10, 165 pounds, and TSN's Kristen Shilton describes the forward as a good puck-mover.
