Overview

• The Maple Leafs acquired the 24-year-old winger from the Utah Mammoth on July 7 in exchange for a conditional 2027 third-round pick.
• General manager Brad Treliving said he targeted Maccelli for his dynamic passing to fill the creativity gap left by Mitch Marner’s departure.
• After recording eight goals and 18 points in 55 games last season, Maccelli said he’s energized to reignite his production alongside Auston Matthews, William Nylander and John Tavares.
• He said he plans to demonstrate his readiness at training camp to secure a top-six forward role.
• His existing relationship with assistant GM Shane Doan and a cap-friendly contract make him a low-cost, high-upside addition to the roster.
