Maple Leafs News & Analysis

The Maple Leafs prospects picture is the best in years. A Calder Cup-winning Marlies team gives cap-strapped Toronto cheap, ready-made depth.

The Maple Leafs' Atlantic Division got tougher this offseason. Here's where Toronto's retool ranks against Florida, Tampa Bay and a rising Ottawa.

The Maple Leafs' RFA signings are nearly complete: Tverberg and Quillan re-signed to two-way deals, leaving only Villeneuve unsigned before arbitration.

A full look at the Maple Leafs projected lineup for 2026-27 — lines, defence pairings and the Bobrovsky-Stolarz goaltending tandem Chayka built this summer.

Easton Cowan and the Maple Leafs: the 21-year-old has a full-time NHL job in 2026-27 and a top-six audition ahead after his Calder Cup championship run.

Auston Matthews' knee injury is behind him after March MCL surgery — why a full offseason and a reshaped roster set up a bounce-back season for Toronto.

The Flyers have entered the Morgan Rielly trade market, but his no-movement clause and Philadelphia's retention ask stand between Toronto and a deal.

The Morgan Rielly trade market shrank as San Jose bowed out for Trouba and Nurse, leaving Toronto a thinner field and less leverage.

The Max Domi injury leaves the Leafs forward out indefinitely after back surgery complications. LTIR would free about $3.75M against a tight salary cap.

The Gavin McKenna entry-level contract is official — a three-year, bonus-laden deal tying the No. 1 pick to Toronto as he surrenders No. 72 to Bobrovsky.

The Maple Leafs 2026-27 roster is taking shape: deeper forwards, a rebuilt Bobrovsky crease, a cap crunch and one unfilled top-pairing defence hole for Chayka.

Opinion: A Matthew Knies trade for Zach Werenski would have cost too much. Losing the Werenski race saved Toronto from a franchise-altering mistake.

Maple Leafs depth signings: Toronto added Lettieri, Hlavaj, McWard and Rybinski to fill out the roster and Marlies pipeline as the free-agent frenzy wound down.

The Zach Werenski Maple Leafs trade is dead: Columbus kept its Norris winner, Toronto's Knies-and-Danford offer fell short, and the top-pairing hole remains.

Opinion: Gavin McKenna belongs on the Maple Leafs roster now — alongside Matthews. The case for keeping the No. 1 pick, the argument for patience, and why patience loses.

The Morgan Rielly trade has a timeline. Toronto is targeting Western teams and reportedly lining up Mario Ferraro as a cheaper left-shot replacement to clear cap space.

After the free agency spree, Maple Leafs cap space is gone and Toronto sits over the limit. Why a Rielly or Knies trade is now mandatory to fix a bottom-heavy roster.

The No. 1 pick dominated Maple Leafs development camp this week. Inside what Gavin McKenna showed, why it matters, and the Auston Matthews line question already being asked.
