Latest news and updates about the Maple Leafs
It looks like the opening night lineup for the Toronto Maple Leafs is pretty much set. There will be some salary cap creativity that will take place before Nick Blankenburg can officially be signed to the team. There will likely be a paper transaction involving Gavin McKenna and Easton Cowan to maximize Domi’s LTIR space…
Bryan Hayes, Jeff O’Neill and Jamie McLennan discuss Kirill Marchenko’s future landing spot, should the Maple Leafs be interested and would a Matthew Knies trade package make sense from a salary cap perspective.
The Kirill Marchenko drama in Columbus hasn’t quieted down. Many feel he’s unlikely to stay with the Blue Jackets long-term, despite being at training camp and working hard. He hasn’t…
Steven Lorentz clearing waivers is a small win on an off-day for the Maple Leafs. They have kept a useful depth player in the organization while gaining flexibility to shuffle him between the Leafs and Marlies—or simply on and off the roster, whether he plays down there or not—as they sort out the bottom of […] The post Steven Lorentz clears waivers, preserving more options for the Maple Leafs appeared first on Maple Leafs Hotstove .
The Leafs made all their cuts prior to their trip to Arizona to pick up Matthews wardrobe and bring it back to Toronto for the season. That’s 84 games worth of designer leisure wear he has to have to hand, after all. There is some serious business left however. There are four injuries at this point: Max Domi who will start the season on LTIR, Nick Paul who has an undisclosed injury and may not play in the season opener, Dakota Joshua who has some kind of core injury and whose status is a littl...
Steven Lorentz and the seven other players the Toronto Maple Leafs placed on waivers on Thursday have officially cleared, according to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman.

The NHL season is just days away, and the Toronto Maple Leafs have made a notable roster move involving a familiar face as they continue trimming their squad ahead of opening night. Steven Lorentz was placed on waivers by the…
Sometimes a moment during the Toronto Maple Leafs’ training camp tells us more than the transaction itself. Toronto putting Steven Lorentz on waivers Thursday was one of those moments. On…
Goaltending is the most difficult variable to predict, and it’s also the element that can often decide playoff series. We’re intimately aware of this dynamic, and Sergei Bobrovsky’s three-year contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs also comes with the inherent promise of steady goalkeeping during the playoffs. Bobrovsky is one of the best postseason performers…

Fans grew to really hate the longer preseason that we got accustomed to for many years. Finally, the NHL answered, with most teams playing just four exhibition games this year. Some teams are already done, with the Toronto Maple Leafs, in particular, doing a pair of split-squad games to complete their run. It’s been well-received by fans, but it gives prospects a smaller opportunity to prove themselves in NHL uniforms. We’ve seen guys sneak into NHL starting-night roles because they went on ab...

The Toronto Maple Leafs took a gamble on Dakota Joshua 11 years after they drafted him, when they acquired him from the Vancouver Canucks in Summer 2025. Originally a fifth-round pick of the Maple Leafs, Joshua found his way to the NHL with the St. Louis Blues in 2020-21 before establishing himself as an NHL…
Good morning Toronto Maple Leafs fans! One more weekend before the new hockey season begins, and while it may be tempting to sit and watch pre-season game highlights to avoid the cold that southern Ontario will sit in, I say we exercise those brain wrinkles by avoiding the screens and picking up a book. Or use your device to listen to an audiobook. I have a few hockey books I’ve enjoyed so here’s what I can go through on a nice day. Between the Lines – Ray Scapinello I’m not looking for to sta...
Toronto enters the 2026–27 season with a new starting goalie, the No. 1 draft pick, and a question that neither addition can answer on its own. After finishing 32-36-14 and missing the playoffs, the Maple Leafs need Sergei Bobrovsky to reverse a sharp decline in net. Bobrovsky posted an .877 save percentage with Florida last […]

The Toronto Maple Leafs are less than a week away from their first game of what promises to be a crucial 2025-26 season, and they may be without one of their newly acquired depth forwards when the puck drops. New head coach Jim Hiller told reporters, including Arun Srinivasan of The Leafs Nation, on Thursday that veteran forward Nick Paul is being held out of action on a day-to-day basis with an undisclosed injury, but he also said Wednesday that he did not believe the injury to be serious.
