Key arrivals<\/p>\n
Sergei Bobrovsky<\/a>, G:\u00a0The future Hall of Famer immediately steps in as the Maple Leafs\u2019 No. 1 goalie after signing a three-year contract<\/a> on July 1. The 37-year-old will be looking to rebound from last season, when he went 27-23-1 with a 3.07 goals-against average, .877 save percentage and four shutouts in 52 games with the Florida Panthers. In Toronto he\u2019ll be reunited with Anthony Stolarz, who was Bobrovsky\u2019s backup during Florida\u2019s Stanley Cup run in 2023-24. \u2026\u00a0Darren Raddysh<\/a>, D: The Toronto-area native was acquired in a sign-and-trade with the Tampa Bay Lightning<\/a> on June 19, signing an eight-year contract. The 30-year-old had career bests in goals (22), assists (48), points (70) and plus-minus rating (plus-21) in 73 games with Tampa Bay last season and immediately becomes Toronto\u2019s quarterback on the power play, where he scored 10 goals in 2025-26. \u2026 Gavin McKenna<\/a>\u00a0, F: The native of Whitehorse, Yukon, was selected No. 1 by the Maple Leafs<\/a> in the 2026 NHL Draft on June 26 and will get every opportunity in training camp to earn a spot among the top-six forward group. The 18-year-old had 51 points (15 goals, 36 assists) in 31 games with Penn State last season. \u2026\u00a0Nick Paul<\/a>, F: The Mississauga, Ontario native can play either left wing or center and is expected to play in Toronto\u2019s middle six. The 31-year-old, who had 15 points (seven goals, eight assists) in 51 games last season, was acquired in a trade with the Lightning<\/a> July 1 for goalie Dennis Hildeby<\/a>, a fourth-round pick in the 2027 NHL Draft and a third-round pick in the 2028 NHL Draft.\u00a0 \u2026 Jack Roslovic<\/a>,\u00a0F: The 29-year-old has the flexibility to move up and down the lineup, either as a top-line wing or third-line center who provides strength up the middle, and had 36 points (21 goals, 15 assists) in 69 games with the Edmonton Oilers last season. \u2026 Emil Andrae<\/a>, D: The smooth-skating 24-year-old defenseman will be relied upon for puck movement from the back end after being acquired in a trade with the Philadelphia Flyers with goalie Samuel Ersson<\/a>\u00a0and a third-round pick in the 2026 draft for goalie Joseph Woll<\/a> and defenseman Simon Benoit<\/a>\u00a0on June 16. Andrae had 13 points (two goals, 11 assists) in 61 games with the Flyers last season \u2026\u00a0Teddy Blueger<\/a>,\u00a0C: The 31-year-old was brought in to help add depth and is a former linemate of Maple Leafs fourth-liner Dakota Joshua<\/a> when they were with the Vancouver Canucks. He signed a two-year contract with the Maple Leafs on July 1 after he had 17 points (nine goals, eight assists) in 35 games with the Canucks last season.\u00a0 \u2026 Colton Sissons<\/a>,\u00a0C: Like Paul, Roslovic and Blueger, the addition of the former Vegas Golden Knight fortifies the Maple Leafs up the middle. The 32-year-old had 11 points (six goals, five assists) in 66 games with the Golden Knights last season. \u2026 Brandon Duhaime<\/a>,\u00a0RW: The 29-year-old, who signed a three-year contract with Toronto<\/a> on July 1, has at least 140 hits in each of his five NHL seasons and brings sandpaper to the bottom six. He had nine points (four goals, five assists) in 82 games with the Washington Capitals last season. \u2026 John Chayka, general manager: The 37-year-old became the 19th GM in franchise history<\/a> on May 3, replacing Brad Treliving, who was fired on March 30. Chayka previously had that same role with the Arizona Coyotes from 2016-20. \u2026 Jim Hiller, coach: The 57-year-old became the 41st coach of the Maple Leafs<\/a> on June 17, replacing Craig Berube, who was fired May 13. He was an assistant with Toronto for four seasons (2015-19) and most recently coach of the Los Angeles Kings from 2023-26.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"2025-26 season: 32-36-14, eighth in Atlantic Division, did not qualify for Stanley Cup Playoffs Key arrivals Sergei Bobrovsky,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":790632,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[66],"tags":[385,99],"class_list":["post-790631","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-nhl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/790631","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=790631"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/790631\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/790632"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=790631"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=790631"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=790631"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
