As we continue our training camp and preseason battle series, we shift our attention to the defense. This unit is usually fairly straightforward, but this season, there is a lot up in the air. The Leafs brought in Darren Raddysh to ostensibly serve as their number-one defenseman; Chris Tanev will hopefully return; they traded for […] The post Maple Leafs Training Camp Battles, Part 2: Who partners with Raddysh, who rounds out the top four D, and who claims the final spot? appeared first on M...
Traffic permitting, it’s a 45-minute drive to Scotiabank Arena from Darren Raddysh’s hometown of Caledon, Ont. But the road back home has felt a lot longer than that.
The Toronto Maple Leafs head into the 2026-27 season looking to prove the doubters wrong, and Matthew Knies ought to be one of the x-factors during a year where the team is expected to return to the playoffs. Knies is entering his fourth NHL season, coming off a year where he finished with 23 goals…
Todd Crocker is the new radio play-by-play voice of the Toronto Maple Leafs, the team confirmed Tuesday in a release.

Crocker…

The Toronto Maple Leafs have taken a gamble with Darren Raddysh, but some of his former teammates and friends are confident he can prove last season wasn't a flash in the pan.
The longest off-season of Auston Matthews’ NHL career may also have been the Toronto Maple Leafs’ busiest. After missing the post-season for the first time in the Matthews era, the Maple Leafs overhauled their front office as well as much of their roster. However, the captain, under contract for two more seasons, remains in place — and appears optimistic about the team’s transformation. “No matter how successful you are, there’s gonna be new players,” Matthews told Maple Leafs team host Ryan L...
There’s a pretty good argument that the biggest change to the Toronto Maple Leafs this summer didn’t happen on the ice. The roster looks different. Sergei Bobrovsky is in goal,…
Although it was widely speculated that new Toronto Maple Leafs general manager John Chayka would trade longtime defenseman Morgan Rielly this summer, no deal came to fruition. The longest-tenured player on the Leafs roster is now expected to at least begin the season with the only NHL team he’s ever known — and Chayka revealed […] The post Maple Leafs GM reveals why Morgan Rielly was not traded this summer appeared first on ClutchPoints .
TORONTO — New ownership. New front office. New coaching staff. New starting goalie. New top defenceman. New starting goaltender. New bottom six. New teenage hope. None of the NHL’s other 31 franchises underwent anything close to the type of wholesale overhaul the Toronto Maple Leafs did in the 2026 off-season. And after plummeting from top five to bottom five in one year, no other team was screaming for such a drastic and dramatic reset. So, the Leafs’ will arrive at Ford Performance Centre on...
When the Toronto Maple Leafs named John Chayka general manager following the 2025-26 season, the temperature was higher than it’s been in the past decade of Auston Matthews-era hockey. The Maple Leafs were fresh off of missing the playoffs for the first time in said era, and following the firing of Brad Treliving, there was…
LAST SEASON Team development isn’t always linear, and the Ottawa Senators showed us that last season. They appeared to be on an upward trajectory after they’d ended a seven-season playoff drought in 2024-25 and pushed the first-place Toronto Maple Leafs to six games in a Round-1 defeat. Coach Travis Green’s defensively stout group was bursting with prime-year players and boasted a playoff-friendly style. The Sens seemed poised to climb another rung and reach the upper echelon of Atlantic Divis...
The Toronto Maple Leafs made a lot of additions this offseason, so you would be forgiven if their signing of forward Brandon Duhaime was one that flew under your radar. That isn’t to say Duhaime won’t add value to the forward group, because he’s a typical bottom-six energy player who can play physically and provide…
Auston Matthews finished last season with just 53 points due to injury.
Emil Andrae is excited to kick off the 2026-27 season, and for the mobile defenceman, he'll be joining a new team in Toronto. The Philadelphia Flyers sent Andrae to the Maple Leafs this offseason for goaltender Joseph Woll and defenceman Simon Benoit. It was a surprising deal for both teams, as the Leafs were dealing from a position of strength to try and find some more puck-moving blueliners on the back end, and Andrae fit the bill perfectly. The smooth-skating defenceman can make a crisp out...
I've been playing too many video games if I'm making headlines like that.
The Toronto Maple Leafs drafted defenceman Alexander Bilecki with the 60th pick at the 2026 NHL Draft, and don’t be surprised to see the young blueliner become a household name within the organization, much sooner than some expected. Bilecki is heading back to the Ontario Hockey League’s Kitchener Rangers this season, where he’s expected to…
