This is a pivotal offseason for the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Coming off a brutal 2025-26 campaign, they earned the No. 1 pick (Gavin McKenna), hired a new GM and head coach (John Chayka, Jim Hiller) and have already made a fascinating sign-and-trade for Darren Raddysh.
The opening of NHL free agency on July 1 provides more opportunities for the Leafs to turn this thing back in the right direction.
Last summer’s biggest storyline was the loss of Mitch Marner.
This time around, Toronto will hope to generate some headlines for the right reasons.
Below, we’ll be keeping track of what the Maple Leafs get up to.
