Toronto Maple Leafs News
MacEwen is an undrafted forward who has been an effective depth forward in recent seasons but spent most of the 2025-26 season in the AHL, where he scored 19 points (7G / 9A) in 23 games with the Belleville Senators (AHL). The 29-year-old had 34 points (17G / 17A) in 240 career NHL games.

New GM John Chayka has been busy for the Toronto Maple Leafs on the opening day of free agency, mixing in a trade with the acquisition of Nick Paul. The 31-year-old Paul has been an integral part of the Tampa Bay Lightning over the past few seasons. He battled injuries in 2025-26, playing just 51 games, but scored 148 points (75G / 73A0 in 310 combined games with Tampa Bay.

Duhaime has been a consistent and reliable bottom-six forward the past few seasons, earning himself a three-year contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs worth $7.8 million ($2.6M AAV). The 29-year-old recorded nine points (4G / 5A) and 159 hits in 82 games last season with the Washington Capitals.

Blueger has been an effective, defensively sound, bottom-six forward over the past several seasons and should help the Toronto Maple Leafs in 2026-27, especially with the penalty kill. The 31-year-old Latvian forward scored 17 points (9G / 8A) last season in 35 games with the Vancouver Canucks.

After spending the first decade of his career with the Nashville Predators, Sissons joined the Vegas Golden Knights last season and helped them in their run to the Stanley Cup finals as an effective bottom-six forward. The 32-year-old Sissons scored 11 points (6G / 5A) last season in 66 games with Vegas.

After acquiring Jacob Markstrom and Akira Schmid earlier this week, the Florida Panthers made it clear they would be moving on from Sergei Bobrovsky, who spent the past seven seasons with them, including leading them to two Stanley Cups. The 37-year-old Bobrovsky is a Vezina Trophy winner, but is coming off arguably the worst season of his career, posting a 3.07 GAA and .877 SV% in 52 games (27-23-1). He hopes a change of scenery with the Toronto Maple Leafs can motivate him to return to the form he showed in previous seasons.

The Maple Leafs added solid offensive depth on the opening day of free agency, signing Jack Roslovic to a two-year contract worth $8 million ($4.0M AAV). The 29-year-old forward spent the 2025-26 season with the Edmonton Oilers, playing up and down the lineup, averaging 15:46 time-on-ice and scoring 36 points (21G / 15A) in 69 games.

Stecher was claimed off waivers from the Oilers in mid-November and recorded 14 points (3G / 11A) in 58 games with the Maple Leafs in 2025-26. With their current depth chart, Stecher and Emil Andrae will likely battle for the No.6 defenseman spot in training camp. Even if he serves as the No.7 defenseman all season, Stecher provides the Maple Leafs with a cheap veteran replacement when injuries occur on the back-end.

Toronto immediately signed Radddysh to an eight-year contract worth $68.0 million ($8.5M AAV) after acquiring him from Tampa Bay for a 2026 5th round pick on Friday. The 30-year-old joins Toronto after four seasons in Tampa Bay and a career year in 2025-26 which saw him finish third in goals amongst defensemen (22) and seventh in points (70). He is expected to join Toronto's top powerplay and defensive pairing for the start of the 2026-27 season.

Koblar was Toronto's 2025 2nd round pick (64th overall) and has signed a three-year entry-level contract with the Maple Leafs on Tuesday. The 18-year-old represents Norway's National Team and had six goals and nine points in the World Championships this season. He is expected to play for Rogle BK (SHL) for the 2026-27 season.

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.

Domi underwent surgery to address an issue he was dealing with throughout the 2025-26 season, but complications have arisen, making his availability for training camp uncertain. The 31-year-old forward scored 36 points (12G / 24A) and recorded a career-worst -29 plus/minus through 80 games last season.


Andrae will dress on Monday as the Flyers opt to shuffle their lineup after suffering a 3-0 defeat in Game 1. Noah Juulsen will sit in his place.
