Overview
- Maccelli has been a healthy scratch for eight straight games in Toronto, and reporting indicates the club appears open to moving him.
- He has nine points in 22 games this season after a 57-point campaign in 2023–24 with Arizona, framing him as a buy‑low reclamation target.
- Toronto acquired Maccelli from the Utah Mammoth in the offseason for a conditional 2027 third‑round pick, and some coverage suggests a similar return could be sought.
- The Hockey News floated Seattle, Calgary and Pittsburgh as potential fits, presented as speculative landing spots rather than active negotiations.
- No trade has been announced, and the NHL’s Dec. 20 roster freeze is cited as a timing factor that could influence whether a deal materializes this week.
