The 2025-26 Toronto Maple Leafs were a tough watch, and that’s probably the politest way I can put it. They were a defensive-minded team that couldn’t defend, led by offensive studs who couldn’t receive a breakout pass, with a stubborn head coach and a general manager that performed a disasterclass on asset management at the…

The 36-year-old center spent last season with the Edmonton Oilers, but that stint ended on a rough note. Henrique appeared in 65 regular-season games and managed just three goals and 15 points, a steep drop-off for a player who had scored at least 11 goals in each of his first 14 NHL seasons. Why The Market Has Stayed Cold The underlying numbers e...
