It's been a quiet offseason since the United took home the prize, but the Legion have locked up both their future star centers. Shortly after Mac Atlas signed a three year $10.5MM deal, Jimi Jax locked in a contract of the same term but smaller dollar at $9MM. His contract extends into S92 and averages at $3MM a year. The VHL All-Rookie center had a terrific second half of the season which landed him on the finalist list for the Stolzschweiger Trophy. Jax was in the Toronto training facility to sign his contract and wasn't worried about negotiations:

 

"I've been pretty adamant about how I want to be with Toronto. I wanted this process to go as quick as possible and now I can just focus on next season."

 

The Legion haven't been as active in the offseason, but have a lot of promise with the young core coming up. After picking the top winger in the S89 draft, the Legion are loaded up front for the future. 

 

"It's pretty exciting - we're all excited to get back to the rink and get this season going. We keep saying we're going to eventually break through. Hopefully sooner than later"
