Overview

• The Maple Leafs finalized the trade on June 30, sending a conditional 2027 third-round pick to the Utah Mammoth in exchange for Maccelli.
• In his first availability as a Leaf, the 24-year-old winger said he had targeted Toronto from the start and is excited to get to work.
• General manager Brad Treliving called Maccelli a “dynamic playmaker” and described the low-cost deal as a bet on his ability to rebound from a down season.
• He averaged under 14 minutes per game last season, recording eight goals and 18 points, and said he’s determined to recapture his peak form.
• With training camp approaching, Toronto is finalizing line combinations and views Maccelli as a key addition to replace Mitch Marner’s playmaking.
