Toronto has acquired Dakota Joshua from Vancouver for a 2028 4th Round Pick.
Toronto continued to add to their forward depth on Thursday after the team announced they have traded a 2028 4th-round pick to Vancouver for left-winger, Dakota Joshua. The 28-year-old is in the 2nd year of a four-year, $13 million contract ($3.25M AAV) and should slide in nicely on Toronto's third line with his physical play style. Vancouver will be happy to shed the cap space after Joshua put up a disappointing seven goals and 14 points in 57 games played last season, while Toronto will be hoping he can return to his 2023-24 form (18G/32Pts) with a full, healthy training camp.
Toronto has signed Miroslav Holinka to a three-year, entry-level contract.
Toronto has signed their 2024 5th round pick (151st overall) on Tuesday after agreeing to a three-year, entry-level contract with Miroslav Holinka. The 19-year-old Czech forward spent 2024-25 as an import for Edmonton (WHL) and succeeded in his inaugural North American season with 19 goals and 45 points in 47 games played. He is expected to return to Edmonton for the 2025-26 season.
Toronto has acquired Henry Thrun from San Jose for Ryan Reaves.
Toronto added to its defensive depth late Thursday night after they acquired Henry Thrun from San Jose for 38-year-old enforcer Ryan Reaves. Thrun is a 24-year-old mobile defenseman entering his third full NHL season. He put up two goals and 12 points despite an ugly -23 plus/minus across 60 games with the Sharks in 2024-25. He will battle for one of Toronto's final defensive spots to start the season.
The Maple Leafs signed Vinni Lettieri to a one-year deal worth $775K.
Vinni Lettieri will join his third NHL team in three years after signing a one-year, $775,000 contract with Toronto on Wednesday. The 30-year-old forward is expected to compete for a bottom-six spot in training camp after putting up three goals and five points in 26 games with Boston in 2024-25.
Toronto has signed Travis Boyd to a one-year, $775,000 contract.
Boyd is a veteran of 299 NHL games but only played three last season with the Minnesota Wild. Boyd returns to the Maple Leafs on a one-year, $775K contract after spending a portion of the 2020-21 season with them, scoring eight points (3G / 5A) in 20 games.
Toronto has signed Bo Groulx to a two-year, $1.625 million contract ($812,500 AAV).
Groulx was the 54th overall pick of the Anaheim Ducks in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft and signs with the Toronto Maple Leafs after spending most of his career with the Ducks organization. The 25-year-old scored 37 points (15G / 22A) in 47 games with the Hartford Wolf Pack.
Toronto has signed Dakota Mermis to a two-year, $1.625 million contract ($812,500 AAV).
Mermis played four NHL games last season, splitting time between Utah and Toronto, but spent most of the campaign in the AHL. He had seven points (0G / 7A) in 32 games with the Toronto Marlies.
The Maple Leafs have signed Michael Pezzetta to a two-year deal worth $787.5K AAV ($1.575M total)
After spending the first four seasons of his career with the Montreal Canadiens, Pezzetta joins a division rival in the Toronto Maple Leafs on a two-year deal worth $787.5K. The 27-year-old Pezzetta was limited to only 25 games last season and was unable to score a single point. He has 38 points (15G / 23A) in 200 career games and will likely be fighting for a fourth-line role on the Maple Leafs in 2025-26.
The Maple Leafs have acquired Nicolas Roy from the Vegas Golden Knights in exchange for the rights to Mitch Marner.
Roy spent the previous six seasons with the Vegas Golden Knights, winning a Stanley Cup in the 2022-23 season, but will spend the 2025-26 season with the Maple Leafs after being acquired in a trade that sent superstar Mitch Marner the other way. The 28-year-old Roy has a $3 million cap hit and scored 31 points (15G / 16A) while averaging 15:13 time-on-ice in 71 games with Vegas last season.
The Maple Leafs have signed Steven Lorentz to a three-year contract extension worth $1.35M AAV ($4.05M total).
Lorentz matched a career-high 19 points (8G / 11A) playing 80 games in his first season with the Maple Leafs and has signed a three-year contract extension worth $1.35M AAV. The 29-year-old was a seventh-round pick in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft and averaged 10:33 time-on-ice last season.
The Maple Leafs acquired Matias Maccelli from the Mammoth for a conditional 2027 3rd round pick.
The 2027 3rd round pick can become a 2029 2nd round pick if the Maple Leafs make the playoffs and Maccelli records at least 51 points during the 2025-26 season. Maccelli had a down-year in 2024-25, but in the two years prior to that he averaged 16 goals and 44 assists (60 points) per 82 games. With Mitch Marner likely on his way out, Maccelli should provide some of the playmaking from the wing that their top-6 is losing.
Toronto has signed Matthew Knies to a six-year, $46.5 million contract extension ($7.75 million AAV).
Toronto can take a key item off their off-season "to-do" list after signing restricted free agent Matthew Knies to a six-year, $46.5 million contract extension ($7.75 million AAV). The 22-year-old left-winger took a massive step forward in 2024-25, occupying Toronto's top-six throughout the season while putting up 29 goals, 58 points and a +7 plus/minus in 78 games played.
The Maple Leafs have signed John Tavares to a four-year deal worth $4.38M AAV ($17.52M total).
Tavares takes a massive pay-cut to stay with his hometown team. Even at age-34, Tavares looked every bit of No.2 centre in 2024-25, posting 38 goals with 36 assists (74 points) in 74 games. He'll once again settle in behind Auston Matthews on the centre depth chart in 2025-26 and will likely be a 30-30 player for the third time in four years.
Stolarz (concussion) will back up for Game 7 vs. Florida on Sunday.
Stolarz left Game 1 with a concussion but will make an unexpected return to the Maple Leafs' lineup he backs up Joseph Woll for Game 7 vs Florida. The towering netminder has an impressive 2.19 GAA during the playoffs to go alongside his 4-2-0 record and .901 SV%.
Knies (undisclosed) was a full participant in morning skate and will play in Game 7 vs. Florida on Sunday.
Knies was forced to play only 13:01 TOI in Game 6 due to an undisclosed injury, but was a full participant in Toronto's morning skate Sunday and will play in Game 7, according to Head Coach Craig Berube. The 22-year-old has been one of Toronto's best players this postseason with his five goals, seven points and 29 SOG in 12 playoff games so far.
Goalie Start
Woll will start Game 7 vs. Florida on Sunday.
When Toronto needed him the most in Game 6, Joseph Woll was perfect, stopping all 22 shots for his first-ever postseason shutout to even the Maple Leafs' second-round series at three apiece vs. Florida. The 26-year-old has had an up-and-down postseason since taking over for Anthony Stolarz (concussion) in Game 1, with his 3-3-0 record, 3.28 GAA and .895 SV% in six appearances. He will look to break Paul Maurice's game 7 winning streak (5-0-0) as he hosts the Florida Panthers for Game 7 on Sunday.
Knies left Game 6 with an undisclosed injury and is questionable for Game 7 on Sunday.
Toronto was unable to provide an injury update on the extent of Matthew Knies' injury after he left Game 6 with an undisclosed injury. It did not look great for the 22-year-old winger, who has five goals and seven points in 12 playoff games this year. Head Coach Craig Berube is expected to provide an update on his status for Game 7 on Saturday afternoon.
Robertson will be a healthy scratch for Game 6 in Florida on Friday.
Robertson was Toronto's only goal scorer in Game 5, but will take a seat in the press box for Game 6 on Friday in Florida as Pontus Holmberg returns to the lineup. Robertson has only appeared in three postseason games this year, but still has an impressive 2 points (1G/1a) in 3 games played, despite receiving only 9:59 TOI/GP.
Line Change
Jarnkrok will draw back into Toronto's lineup for Game 6 in Florida on Friday.
Jarnkrok was a healthy scratch for Toronto's Game 5 loss but will draw back into the lineup on Friday as a replacement for David Kampf. The 33-year-old has been held pointless in Toronto's last nine playoff games and will slot back into the third line on Friday.
