The conversation of which forward will step up for the Toronto Maple Leafs is beginning to grow as players reconvene for training camp. Toronto lost 100-point scorer Mitch Marner to the Vegas Golden Knights, and failed find a suitable replacement on the open market.
Jack Roslovic is surprisingly still a free agent, and while there's been interest elsewhere, the Maple Leafs are the front runner for the talented forward.
William Nylander is a textbook zero to hero story in the Toronto market, although you can easily make the argument that he never should have been a zero in the first place.
The top power-play unit of the Toronto Maple Leafs will require some adjustments in the 2025-26 season. Since his rookie campaign in 2016-17, Mitch Marner has logged more ice time than any member of the team on the man advantage.
The Toronto Maple Leafs were hoping they would be able to keep Mitchell Marner from walking this offseason, and could keep him around as they tried to push for their first Stanley Cup since 1967.

It’s the end of August and with September around the corner, the NHL season is about to get underway with training camps and then the start of the 2025-26 season.
The Maple Leafs might not have a ton of high end prospects but they aren’t short on prospects that are close to getting a taste of the NHL. The complication here is that the Maple Leafs aren’t short on veterans standing between prospects and the NHL as well.
Connor Hellebuyck…wait? That's it? Yes, that's right, the only NHL goaltender last season who was statistically better than Toronto Maple Leafs netminder Anthony Stolarz.
Toronto Maple Leafs forward Matthew Knies acknowledged that Mitch Marner’s departure will leave a noticeable void inside the team’s locker room, even if the two only shared two seasons together.
There are actual events on the NHL calendar (albeit a promo tour in Europe) and with September creeping up on us next weekend the long stretch of nothing to talk about on the NHL front is coming to an end.
When the Toronto Maple Leafs acquired Max Domi, many fans viewed it as more than just a roster move. This was Tie Domi’s son wearing the same sweater his dad once wore, but this time in a very different role.
Auston Matthews doesn’t talk a lot, but when he does, it usually matters. As the Toronto Maple Leafs get ready for the 2025–26 season, their captain sounds quietly confident.
Is there space for Matt Benning on the Toronto Maple Leafs’ crowded blue line? The 31-year-old defenceman was acquired in last year’s Timothy Liljegren trade with the Sharks, but has yet to appear in a Maple Leafs sweater.
Mitch Marner was once one of Toronto’s favourite sons. A local kid turned superstar, he became a face of the Toronto Maple Leafs’ new era. For years, he dazzled with his playmaking, his energy, and his ability to pile up points.

The U.S. orientation camp roster for the 2026 Winter Olympics sparked its usual round of debates. Names like Tage Thompson, Alex DeBrincat, and Thatcher Demko being left off got plenty of attention.

The debate about Auston Matthews and the captaincy isn’t really about him—it’s about what people think a Toronto Maple Leafs captain should be. That word, captain, carries more weight in Toronto than almost anywhere else in the NHL.
