To wrap up our training camp battles series, we’ll look at the Maple Leafs’ special teams, which are set for fairly significant changes.

Toronto Maple Leafs GM John Chayka is emphasizing the team he has assembled to do the talking as far as proving they can bounce back.

As we continue our training camp and preseason battle series, we shift our attention to the defense. This unit is usually fairly straightforward, but this season, there is a lot up in the air. The Leafs brought in Darren Raddysh to ostensibly serve as their number-one defenseman; Chris Tanev will hopefully return; they traded for […]

The longest off-season of Auston Matthews’ NHL career may also have been the Toronto Maple Leafs’ busiest. After missing the post-season for the first time in the Matthews era, the Maple Leafs overhauled their front office as well as much of their roster. However, the captain, under contract for two more seasons, remains in place — and appears optimistic about the team’s transformation. “No matter how successful you are, there’s gonna be new players,” Matthews told Maple Leafs team host Ryan L...

TORONTO — New ownership. New front office. New coaching staff. New starting goalie. New top defenceman. New starting goaltender. New bottom six. New teenage hope. None of the NHL’s other 31 franchises underwent anything close to the type of wholesale overhaul the Toronto Maple Leafs did in the 2026 off-season.
