Overview

• Two top-six winger jobs are up for grabs, with Max Domi, Matias Maccelli, Bobby McMann and Nick Robertson in the mix beside Auston Matthews and John Tavares.
• Nick Robertson signed a one-year deal and is both a leading internal candidate for a top-line role and a frequently mentioned trade chip, according to recent reporting citing Elliotte Friedman.
• Nicolas Roy arrived from Vegas in the Marner deal and is projected to anchor a depth, two-way role rather than replicate Marner’s offense.
• Goaltender Anthony Stolarz is reported healthy after last season’s concussion and enters a contract year following a .926 save percentage in 30-plus games.
• Public reaction to Marner’s recent safety comments remains contentious in Toronto, with reporting that team security found no cause for concern.
