Signed by the Ducks as an undrafted free agent March 7, 2019, Benoit has 15 points (four goals, 11 assists) in 137 NHL games the past three seasons, all with Anaheim.
The Maple Leafs signed defenseman John Klingberg to a one-year, $4.15 million contract July 1. He and Benoit began last season as Ducks teammates before Klingberg was traded to the Minnesota Wild on March 3.
