Overview

• The Maple Leafs sent Mitch Marner to the Vegas Golden Knights on an eight-year, US$96 million sign-and-trade that also marks the end of the Marner-Matthews-Tavares-Nylander “Core Four” era.
• Toronto repurposed Marner’s vacated cap space to acquire forwards Nicolas Roy, Matias Maccelli and Dakota Joshua to reshape its forward group.
• The club and winger Nick Robertson agreed to a one-year, US$1.85 million contract to avoid salary arbitration and preserve roster flexibility.
• Toronto enters camp with US$1.9 million in cap space and a surplus of bottom-six forwards, making several players potential trade candidates.
• MLSE president Keith Pelley underlined that winning the Stanley Cup is the franchise’s singular goal.
