The Toronto Maple Leafs announced today that the hockey club has signed forward Ben Smith to a one-year contract worth $650,000.

Smith, 28, collected four points (two goals, two assists) in 36 games with the Maple Leafs last season after being claimed off waivers from Colorado, where he skated in four games. In 237 career NHL games with Toronto, Colorado, San Jose and Chicago, Smith has registered 54 points (29 goals, 25 assists) and eight penalty minutes.
He was originally selected by Chicago in the sixth round (169th overall) of the 2008 NHL Draft.
