The Toronto Maple Leafs have signed unrestricted free agent forward Clarke MacArthur to a one-year contract.
MacArthur, 25, began last season with the Buffalo Sabres before being traded March 3 to Atlanta in exchange for the Thrashers' third and fourth round picks in the 2010 Entry Draft. In 81 games between Buffalo and Atlanta, he registered a career-high 35 points with 16 goals and 19 assists.
MacArthur, a native of Lloydminster, Alberta, was originally Buffalo's third choice, selected 74th overall, in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft.
MacArthur became a UFA after the Thrashers opted to walk away from the $2.4 million salary he was awarded through an independent arbitrator.
