Auston Matthews

Maple Leafs draft day has arrived: Toronto picks No. 1 overall tonight in Buffalo and is set to take Gavin McKenna, its first top pick since Matthews in 2016.

Opinion: the Maple Leafs shouldn't trade William Nylander. He wants to stay, his $11.5M deal ages well, and he's the bridge to the McKenna era.

The McKenna pick looks like a rebuild, but Chayka kept Matthews, Knies and Nylander and spent cap space. This is a Maple Leafs retool, not a teardown.

Auston Matthews has told John Chayka he's all in, per Pierre LeBrun, settling the summer's loudest Maple Leafs question: the captain is staying for 2026-27.

Toronto shrugged at the Jim Hiller hire, but Chayka's bet on trust over star power is more defensible than it looks.

A $104 million cap for 2026-27 makes the Maple Leafs' big contracts look better by the day — and hands Chayka real spending room. The risk is overusing it.

Alex Tuch and the Maple Leafs are a logical fit. With $22M in space and a Marner-sized hole, here's why Toronto should chase the power forward on July 1.
