After Friday’s practice, Gavin McKenna discussed the organization’s decision to keep him in Toronto rather than send him to this weekend’s prospect tournament in Gatineau, living with John Tavares, his preparation for opening night, and skating with Auston Matthews and several of the NHL’s top players over the summer. We just heard you’re not going […] The post Gavin McKenna on the possibility of playing with Auston Matthews: “I think we’d suit each other pretty well… If I get that opportuni...

Toronto’s prospect team will take on the Ottawa Senators on Saturday, and the Winnipeg Jets on Sunday, without the organization’s most important…
LAS VEGAS – John Tavares was the last interview of the day…by multiple hours. The sun had set long before he arrived to speak at the NHL Player Media Tour, classy as always, thanking all the reporters in attendance for their patience. But while he was understandably weary after a long day of travel: the spring in his step was unmistakable. His handshake was strong. He had a palpable energy speaking about the Toronto Maple Leafs’ rapidly approaching 2026-27 regular season. And it’s hard to blam...
There’s a funny thing about looking at the Toronto Maple Leafs before training camp starts. You can spend all summer putting together lines, moving players around, and trying to figure…

Klingberg appeared in 700 NHL games across 12 seasons with six different franchises.

The Toronto Maple Leafs enter the 2026-27 season looking to return to Stanley Cup contention.

When the Toronto Maple Leafs completed the sign-and-trade for defenceman Darren Raddysh, they acquired a man who is more than just a much-needed boost to their offensive scheme. He is a man who had to claw his way into earning a spot in the NHL after toiling for years in the minor leagues. Raddysh fits…
If you had new Toronto Maple Leafs defenceman Darren Raddysh on your fantasy team in 2025-26, you were a happy camper. The 30-year-old blueliner was a rock on the Tampa Bay Lightning’s defensive corps for two years, and when star blueliner Victor Hedman was forced to miss two thirds of the season, Raddysh seamlessly jumped…
It’s that time of year again. The days are getting shorter. The temperatures are getting cooler. The hockey season is right around the corner, and the first thing to kick off the pre-season festivities is the prospect tournament that always takes place on the weekend I celebrate my anniversary with my wife. Sigh… Today, Toronto released their roster: All of the prospects you may expect to be included will be here. The only exceptions are those guys who were not going to get much of a look at t...

So as not to bury the lede: First-overall pick Gavin McKenna will not be participating in the tournament games, just this Friday’s practice. While McKenna will not play, fellow 2026 selections Alexander Bilecki, […] The post Danford, Koblar among those set to participate in Maple Leafs’ prospect tournament this weekend appeared first on Maple Leafs Hot...

No player on the Toronto Maple Leafs will have a bigger impact on how the 2026-27 campaign will go than Auston Matthews. While there is a recent track record of the Leafs being able to overcome Matthews being far from his best – as was evident in 2024-25 – there is plenty more, as the…
Nick Paul’s final season in Tampa Bay was either an injury-riddled aberration or the first warning sign for a 31-year-old forward who had previously been quite healthy and consistent. After trading Dennis Hildeby, a 2027 fourth-round pick, and a 2028 third-round pick to acquire him, the Maple Leafs are betting on the former. Paul entered […] The post Nick Paul can fill an important need for the Maple Leafs, but was last season a blip or a warning? [2026-27 Player Preview] appeared first on M...

Trade rumours surrounded the reigning Norris Trophy winner around the time of the draft, and the Maple Leafs were one…
The Toronto Maple Leafs will be starting next season without one of their versatile middle-six forwards. According to Leafs Morning Take co-host Nick Alberga, Domi is still recovering from offseason back surgery, and won't be ready for training camp next season, and is very likely going to miss some time to start the 2026-27 season. Sounds like Max Domi, who’s recovering from off-season surgery, is expected to miss training camp & the start of the season. Still lots of uncertainty. @LMTake_ | ...
