| C | 1 | Auston Matthews  ActiveTSN's Craig Button thinks that Jack Eichel's recent contract would be a good comparable for Auston Matthews. Eichel inked an eight-year, $80 million contract with the Buffalo Sabres last October. Matthews has one more season left on his entry-level contract and he can agree to an extension as soon as July 1. It's unclear if Matthews will be seeking the maximum eight-year deal or if he'll want something shorter. He recently switched to the Orr Hockey Group to serve as his new representatives in negotiations. Jun 7 |
| 2 | Nazem Kadri ActiveNazem Kadri had an assist in Monday's 3-1 win against Boston in Game 6. Kadri set up a goal by William Nylander in the contest. He has recorded an assist in each of his two games since returning from a suspension. Apr 24 |
| 3 | Tyler Bozak ActiveTyler Bozak is unlikely to be back with the Toronto Maple Leafs next season, according to TSN's Darren Dreger. Dreger sites outside interest as the primary reason why Bozak isn't expected to return to the Leafs. However, re-signing with the only NHL team he has ever played for remains an option. Toronto GM Kyle Dubas said recently that the door is open for the team's pending unrestricted free agents, including Bozak. Jun 18 |
| 4 | Tomas Plekanec ActiveTomas Plekanec hopes to be back with the Montreal Canadiens next season. "I don't think we're really allowed until a certain point of, I guess, June," Plekanec said on Montreal's TSN 690 Radio this past Thursday. "So, obviously, we haven't (talked), but we discussed that possibility when I got traded in February, so that's where it's at. As I said before, I'd love to come back to Montreal. That's my priority and Marc said they'd like to have me back and that’s where we are right now. But as I've said before, too, I'm sure things are changing, things are planning for next season, so we'll see where we're at by the end of June." Plekanec is eligible for unrestricted free agency after he completed the 2017-18 campaign with Toronto. He only had two assists in 17 appearances with the Leafs during the regular season, but he did play better in the playoffs. May 27 |
| 5 | Dominic Moore ActiveDominic Moore will be a healthy scratch in Game 6 against Boston on Monday night. The 37-year-old was in the lineup for Games 3 and 4 of this first-round series, but he's been a healthy scratch in the other contests. Moore has no points and a minus-1 rating in those two postseason games. Josh Leivo, Matt Martin and Connor Carrick will also watch the game from the press box. Apr 23 |
| LW | 1 | James van Riemsdyk ActiveMaple Leafs GM Kyle Dubas said the "door is always open" for pending free agents James van Riemsdyk, Tyler Bozak and Leo Komarov to return next season. The Maple Leafs aren't pressed against the salary cap, but they will have to sign Auston Matthews, William Nylander and Mitch Marner to expensive contract extensions in the near future. There's a good chance that at least two of van Riemsdyk, Bozak and Komarov won't be back with the Leafs next season. JVR will likely command the most money of the three. He had 36 goals and 54 points in 81 games last season. Jun 16 |
| 2 | Patrick Marleau ActivePatrick Marleau scored a pair of goals in Wednesday's 7-4 loss to the Boston Bruins in Game 7. Marleau's first-period goals gave the Maple Leafs 1-0 and 2-1 leads at the time, but they still found themselves down 3-2 heading into the first intermission. Toronto used a big two-goal second period (Travis Dermott and Kasperi Kapanen) to jump ahead 4-3 heading into the third. Unfortunately for the Leafs, they fell apart in the third frame and allowed the Bruins to score four straight. Marleau finished the game with a minus-1 rating, two shots on goal and four hits in 18:35 of ice time. The 38-year-old had four goals and one assist in seven games during the series. The Maple Leafs have now been bounced in the first round for the second year in a row. Apr 25 |
| 3 | Zach Hyman ActiveZach Hyman scored the only goal for the Toronto Maple Leafs in their Game 1 loss to the Boston Bruins. Hyman showed some nice speed and hustle to beat David Krejci to the loose puck before putting a move on Tuukka Rask to tie the game at one with just over three minutes left in the first period. Unfortunately for the Maple Leafs, they couldn't muster up much of anything else offensively. The Leafs will need to get their top lines going for Game 2 and could be without Nazem Kadri who will likely be facing a suspension after hitting Tommy Wingels from behind during the final period. Connor Brown and Morgan Rielly got the assists on Toronto's only goal. Apr 12 |
| 4 | 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 |
| 5 | 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 |
| 6 | Matt Martin ActiveMatt Martin will be a healthy scratch in Game 3 against the Boston Bruins on Monday night. Martin has been scratched in 14 of Toronto's last 15 games dating back to the regular season. He had three goals and 12 points in 50 games this season. The Leafs are making one change to their lineup, as Leo Komarov (lower body) will sit. He'll be replaced by Dominic Moore. Josh Leivo and Connor Carrick will also watch the game from the press box. Apr 16 |
| 7 | Joffrey Lupul  I.L.Joffrey Lupul has failed his second physical and can be placed on long-term injured reserve. The NHL confirmed the initial diagnosis after Lupul failed his team physical before training camp. Toronto will place Lupul ($5.25 million) and Nathan Horton ($5.3 million) on LTIR once the season starts for some cap relief. Lupul hasn't played for the Leafs since February 2016. Oct 3 |
| RW | 1 | William Nylander ActiveWilliam Nylander is a key restricted free agent for Toronto this off-season. Nylander finished his entry-level contract in 2017-18 with a second straight 61-point season. He is just 21-years-old and he's loaded with talent, so it will be interesting to see what kind of contract he gets. Nylander may want a shorter term contract to try to prove himself, while the Leafs may seek something longer term. Apr 27 |
| 2 | Mitch Marner ActiveMitch Marner isn't worried about this contract situation. Marner still has another year left on his entry-level deal, but there could be talks regarding an extension this summer. "Nothing has been said yet, but nothing you can do," he said. "If nothing happens, you still have a year to play under your rookie contract. Just go out there and try to prove you can make the team better." Marner improved on his rookie totals during his second NHL campaign in 2017-18 with 22 goals and a team-leading 69 points in 82 games. Jun 20 |
| 3 | 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 |
| 4 | Leo Komarov ActiveLeo Komarov's agent, Todd Diamond, hopes to speak with Toronto GM Kyle Dubas soon about his client's future with the team. Komarov is eligible for unrestricted free agency in July. He only played in two of Toronto's seven playoff games and suited up in 74 matches during the regular season. Komarov earned 19 points in the final campaign of his four-year, $11.8 million contract. May 21 |
| 5 | 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 | Connor Carrick ActiveConnor Carrick has agreed to a one-year, $1.3 million contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs. Carrick was coming off a two-year, $1.5 million deal and would have been a restricted free agent on July 1. Carrick had trouble cracking the Leafs's roster last year and didn't play at all during the playoffs. He had four goals and 12 points in 47 games with Toronto last season. Jun 20 |
| 6 | Roman Polak ActiveRoman Polak will be a healthy scratch in Tuesday's game against the Florida Panthers. The 31-year-old has been splitting playing duties with Connor Carrick, who will slide back into the lineup tonight. Polak has two goals and nine points in 40 games this season. Matt Martin and Josh Leivo will also watch the game from the press box. Feb 27 |
| 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 |
