Emil Andrae News

Andrae's time in Toronto was short-lived after the Maple Leafs dealt the 24-year-old defensemen before he ever appeared in a game alongside Matthew Knies, Steven Lorentz, and a 2027 2nd-round pick (SEA), to Columbus for Kirill Marchenko, Miles Wood, and Elvis Merzlikins (18% salary retained). Andrae is entering his third NHL season after spending the last two in Philadelphia, where he put up three goals, 20 points and 38 PIMs in 103 games played across the last two seasons.

The first domino of the John Chayka era in Toronto has fallen as the Maple Leafs acquired Emil Andrae, Samuel Ersson, and a 2026 3rd-round pick from Philadelphia for Joseph Woll and Simon Benoit. Andrea was Philadelphia's 2020 2nd round pick (54th overall) and struggled to crack their lineup consistently for the last three seasons appearing in a career high 61 games in 2025-26. He is expected to be a key part of Toronto's defensive unit for years to come and will hope to build on his two goals, 13 points and +15 plus/minus from last season.
