Leafs sign Filip Kral, Kristians Rubins to entry-level deals

The Toronto Maple Leafs inked defensemen Filip Kral and Kristians Rubins to entry-level contracts, the club announced Wednesday.

Kral, who signed a three-year pact, racked up 49 points in 53 games with the WHL's Spokane Chiefs this season. The Maple Leafs selected the 20-year-old in the fifth round of the 2018 draft.

Rubins, who agreed to a two-year deal, spent this season with the AHL's Toronto Marlies after splitting 2018-19 between them and the ECHL's Newfoundland Growlers. The 22-year-old joined the Leafs organization when he signed with the Growlers in August 2018.
