| Pos | Role | Name |
| C | 1 | John Tavares  ActiveJohn Tavares scored a pair of goals during Friday's 5-3 preseason win over the Buffalo Sabres. Tavares' first goal gave the Maple Leafs a 3-1 lead just under four minutes into the opening frame. He then added an empty-netter in the final minute of regulation. Tavares was the biggest free-agent acquisition of the off-season and he should be able to light it up with his new team. The 28-year-old had 37 goals and 84 points in 82 games with the Islanders last season. Expect Tavares to be a point-per-game player in Toronto this season. Sep 21 |
| 2 | Auston Matthews ActiveAuston Matthews scored a goal during Wednesday's 4-1 preseason win over the Ottawa Senators. A scramble in front led to Patrick Marleau feeding a puck on over to Matthews who scored his first of the preseason. Matthews finished over a point-per-game last year for the first time, albeit, in 62 games. The addition of John Tavares will only benefit the 21-year-old as he continues to develop into one of the best players in the game. A healthy season should see Matthews finish with over 80 points.

| 3 | Nazem Kadri ActiveNazem Kadri is projected to be the Maple Leafs' third-line center and that's okay with him. Kadri is overqualified for that role, but Toronto already has Auston Matthews and John Tavares to fill the top two slots. "You know what, winning is the most important to me," Kadri said. "And I know that is maybe a cliche for you guys, but that is the honest truth. I don’t care where I play, I don’t care what role I play. Obviously, I want to be an impact player and I want to continue to have the success I have been having, and I think players ahead of me will give me the chance to do that. It’s not really a one-two-three type thing. We’re all going to play together and have that success." Pittsburgh is a good example to look to as they've run three very effective scoring lines at times by spreading out Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, and Phil Kessel. The Maple Leafs might not be exactly the same situation, but the principle of a three-pronged attack is still there. Jul 12 |
| 4 | Par Lindholm ActiveThe Toronto Maple Leafs have signed Par Lindholm to a one-year, entry-level contract. Lindholm had 18 goals and 47 points in 49 Swedish league games in 2017-18. The 26-year-old was never drafted and hasn't played professionally in North America before, but he'll get a chance now after becoming a star player in the Swedish league. Lindholm is a possibility to be Toronto's fourth-line center next season. May 17 |
| 5 | Frederik Gauthier ActiveFrederik Gauthier has signed a two-year, two-way contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs. Gauthier had a goal in nine games with the Maple Leafs last season as well as seven goals and 18 points in 57 AHL contests. At the NHL level, he can earn $675,000 next season. Jul 11 |
| LW | 1 | Patrick Marleau ActivePatrick Marleau earned two assists in Wednesday's 4-2 preseason win over Ottawa. Marleau picked up primary assists on goals by Auston Matthews and Tyler Ennis in the contest. Toronto's top line in the match combined for five points in the victory. Ennis, who has been filling in for RFA William Nylander at training camp, scored two goals on Wednesday. Sep 20 |
| 2 | Zach Hyman ActiveZach Hyman has been skating alongside John Tavares and Mitch Marner at training camp. Hyman has spent the last two seasons alongside Auston Matthews and William Nylander, but coach Mike Babcock is looking for a different look this year. "Auston and I had some great success, playing with Willie as well," said Hyman. "I have a new opportunity and he has a new opportunity. We have so many good players on this team, it really doesn't matter who you play with. You're going to be playing with great players." Sep 18 |
| 3 | Andreas Johnsson ActiveAndreas Johnsson has accepted the Toronto Maple Leafs' qualifying offer. Johnsson took a one-year, two-way deal that will pay him $787,500 at the NHL level. He had two goals and three points in nine games with the Maple Leafs last season. He also scored 26 goals and 54 points in 54 AHL contests. Jul 13 |
| 4 | Josh Leivo ActiveJosh Leivo will be a healthy scratch in Wednesday's game against the Florida Panthers. Leivo has one goal and three assists in 16 games this season. This is the 10th time in 12 games that he'll serve as a healthy scratch. Matt Martin, Dominic Moore and Connor Carrick will also watch the game from the press box. Mar 28 |
| 5 | Tyler Ennis ActiveTyler Ennis will get a look alongside Auston Matthews when training camp opens. Ennis has been skating with Matthews during informal sessions. He is essentially a fill-in, as William Nylander remains an unsigned restricted free agent. Ennis is projected to be a bottom-six forward once Nylander's contract situation is worked out. Sep 13 |
| RW | 1 | Mitch Marner ActiveMitch Marner registered one goal and two assists in Tuesday's 4-1 preseason win over Ottawa. Marner picked up two assists on goals scored by John Tavares, as the duo combined for six points in the contest. Big things are expected from that combination this season and they didn't fail to impress in their first game together. They will look to build more chemistry over camp prior to the start of the 2018-19 campaign. Sep 19 |
| 2 | William Nylander ActiveContract talks are ongoing between William Nylander and Toronto. TSN's Bob McKenzie reports that the negotiation process is still in the early going. It doesn't seem like a deal is imminent, but it probably won't be a short-term agreement. Sep 19 |
| 3 | Kasperi Kapanen ActiveKasperi Kapanen will play for Finland in the World Championships. Kapanen could have reported to the Toronto Marlies for the AHL playoffs, but the worlds makes more sense as he'll be facing a higher level of competition. He had seven goals and nine points in 38 regular season games with the Maple Leafs in 2017-18. Apr 27 |
| 4 | Connor Brown ActiveConnor Brown was on the top line with Auston Matthews during Toronto's morning skate on Saturday. Brown replaced William Nylander alongside Matthews and Zach Hyman. Nylander skated with Tomas Plekanec and Andreas Johnsson. Brown has earned two assists in four playoff games against Boston. Apr 21 |
| 5 | Josh Jooris ActiveThe Toronto Maple Leafs have signed Josh Jooris to a one-year/$650,000 contract. The Maple Leafs are in need of help down the middle and that gives Jooris a great shot at sticking with Toronto as a fourth line center. Jooris had three goals and six points in 31 games with Carolina before he was dealt to Pittsburgh where he was scoreless in nine games before being sent to the minors. Jooris had 12 goals and 24 points with Calgary in 2014-15 and that was his best season in the NHL. Jul 1 |
| 6 | Nathan Horton  I.L.Nathan Horton has been left off Toronto's training camp roster after failing his physical, he is also not with the team. Horton, who suffers from a degenerative back condition that has prevented him from playing since the 2013-14 season, is expected to be placed on long-term injury reserve once the regular season begins. The move will relieve $5.3M of cap space, which will be useful for the Maple Leafs as they're currently just $385K below the ceiling. Sep 17 |
| D | 1 | Morgan Rielly ActiveMorgan Rielly registered an assist in Toronto's 4-3 win over Boston in Game 5 on Saturday. That gives Rielly five assists in five playoff games this year. He's second in the Maple Leafs' scoring race, behind only Mitchell Marner. Apr 22 |
| 2 | Jake Gardiner ActiveJake Gardiner reached the 50-point mark for the first time in his career on Monday night. Gardiner earned an assist in Toronto's win over Buffalo to extend his point streak to five straight games. He has contributed six helpers during that span and he has 10 points in his past 11 outings. Apr 3 |
| 3 | Nikita Zaitsev ActiveNikita Zaitsev picked up a pair of assists Monday in a 3-1 win over Boston in Game 6. Zaitsev has struggled in his own end throughout the year, but he posted some good numbers on Monday night. He posted a plus-2 rating, three shots, four hits and one block in 21:16 of ice time. Apr 24 |
| 4 | Ron Hainsey ActiveRon Hainsey enjoyed a well-deserved day off on Sunday. The 37-year-old logged a game-high 26:06 of ice time in Game 5 on Saturday in Toronto's 4-3 win over Boston. That included over eight minutes of shorthanded action. "Age has nothing to do with it," said coach Mike Babcock. "Are you physically fit enough? Who would you want out there instead? To me, he's that good so he's going out there." Apr 22 |
| 5 | Travis Dermott  SidelinedTravis Dermott didn't skate Wednesday because of a shoulder injury. Coach Mike Babcock said that Dermott is listed as day-to-day. He played in Tuesday's exhibition win over Ottawa. Sep 19 |
| 6 | Connor Carrick ActiveConnor Carrick will compete for a top-six spot on the back end at training camp. Carrick has plenty of competition for the spot as Justin Holl, Calle Rosen, Andreas Borgman and Igor Ozhiganov are in the mix. Holl, Rosen and Borgman saw some time with the Maple Leafs last season, while Ozhiganov has spent parts of camp alongside Travis Dermott. Sep 17 |
| 7 | Calle Rosen ActiveCalle Rosen netted the game-winning goal in Game 3 of the Calder Cup Final. Rosen's wrist shot from the point gave the Marlies a 2-1 lead with 7:32 to play in the second period and that was the final score in the contest. Toronto has a 2-1 series lead with Game 4 set for Thursday night. Jun 6 |
| 8 | Igor Ozhiganov ActiveIgor Ozhiganov is thrilled to be a member of the Toronto Maple Leafs. The 25-year-old is coming over to play hockey in North America for the first time in his professional career. "I’m so happy, this is my dream," Ozhiganov said. "Of course, everything is new to me … the ice area is very small and it’s very fast hockey." He'll be in a tough battle to break camp with the Leafs, but he could earn a call up eventually if he heads to the minors. Ozhiganov shouldn't pop up on your fantasy radar. Aug 24 |
| G | 1 | Frederik Andersen ActiveFrederik Andersen was named the top goaltender at the 2018 World Championship. Andersen posted a 1.65 goals-against average and .944 save percentage in six appearances for Denmark. Denmark was the host of the tournament, but the team failed to get to the knockout round despite Andersen's strong play. May 20 |
| 2 | Curtis McElhinney ActiveCurtis McElhinney turned aside 32 of 34 shots in Monday's 5-2 win over the Buffalo Sabres. Both of Buffalo's goals were scored on the power play, but the Maple Leafs never trailed in this game. McElhinney has now won four of his last five decisions. He has an 11-5-1 record with a 2.14 goals-against-average and a .934 save percentage this season. This may have been his final start of the regular season. Apr 2 |
