The 33-year-old forward is a strong defensive player who will add needed grit to an explosive lineup that lacks much fortitude

. He has appeared in more than 1,000 NHL games during his career, and helped seemingly undermanned Columbus teams topple Pittsburgh and Toronto in postseason series in each of the past two years.

Foligno is in the final season of a six-year contract that pays him US$5.5-million. The three teams will share in paying his salary, with the Maple Leafs’ portion coming to roughly US$1.375-million. He said he became impressed with the Maple Leafs after playing against them in the NHL’s Stanley Cup play-in tournament last year.
