Auston Matthews wants to stay in Toronto because of John Chayka (opens the original)
Read excerpt
No one has meant more to the Maple Leafs over the past decade than Auston Matthews. Since the Leafs drafted him first overall back in 2016, he has been the face of the franchise. In 689 career games, he has logged 428 goals and 352 assists for 780 points. He is the main reason why the Leafs have made the playoffs in nine of the last ten seasons. He has exceeded every expectation fans had for him. While it seemed like a slam dunk that he would wear a Leafs jersey for life, his future is a bit unc
The mounting pressure on Auston Matthews to deliver a signature postseason run (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Auston Matthews is arguably the best Maple Leaf of the 21st century. Over his decade with the Leafs, he has racked up 428 goals and 352 assists for 780 points. He has been a staple of the top six ever since he entered the league back in 2016. Without Matthews, the Leafs would not have the regular-season success they have had over the last few seasons.

While everyone is quick to point to this affecting Austin Matthews' contract, it spans far beyond that. This deal will affect the way the Leafs do business for the foreseeable futur
Sergei Bobrovsky is one of the Leafs' biggest gambles of all-time (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For years, the Toronto Maple Leafs have lacked a true No. 1 goalie. Someone that they can put in between the pipes and rely on to put in quality outings. It is one of the biggest reasons why the "Core Four" era in Toronto did not work out. Because of that, one of John Chayka's first moves was to fix that problem. He did so by signing Sergei Bobrovsky to a three-year deal at the start of free agency. While this move could solve the goaltending problem, it's a risky one. It will go down as one of
Gavin McKenna could lead the Maple Leafs to glory — or force a total teardown (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ever since the Maple Leafs landed Gavin McKenna first overall in the 2026 NHL Draft, there has been nothing but excitement. Fans and analysts have already crowned him as the next face of the Leafs franchise and as the missing piece to get the Leafs back into contention. While excitement is a normal reaction to getting a player like McKenna, it puts the Leafs at a crossroads. Depending on how the Leafs perform, McKenna's presence could either send the Leafs on a Dynasty run or lead to a full-blow
