2026-27 Toronto Maple Leafs General Discussion | Official: Sundin & Chayka to lead front office

Won't be long now, couple more weeks before all the hockey media get back into full force and get ready to cover training camp. I have no idea what to expect from the team this season. I think they underachieved massively last season, so does that mean we could make the playoffs again this year with a bounce back campaign? Who the heck knows!

This is going to be one heck of a September.

Massive overhaul to the roster. Only 4 preseason games.

Matthews (is he healthy), Nylander (is he motivated/healthy), Knies (is he healthy), Tavares (can he stave off age and the CRA), Domi (will he play), Joshua (is he healthy)
Sissons (new), Blueger (new), Roslovic (new), Paul (new), Duhaime (new), McKenna (rookie and new),
Cowan (can he avoid a sophomore slump)
Lorentz (how often does he get in the lineup)
Klobar (does he force his way onto the team)
Groulx (did last year matter enough to get a chance), Haymes (is he valued enough to get a chance), Quillan (tick tock), Tverberg (is he valued enough to get a chance), Pezzetta (fodder), MacEwan (fodder)

21 forwards who COULD step in to the lineup at some point.

Moves are still coming.
