"Benoit-Olivier Groulx is coming in hot as well with four points in his first five games with the Maple Leafs and making a strong case for being a part of the picture in 2026-27."
"Groulx has shown that one of the elements missing most from the bottom six was that no one was playing like they had something to prove, and if Groulx doesn't lose that energy he's a potential bright spot."
"In a short time he's established himself ahead of players like Quillan, Jarnkrok and Pezzetta on the organization depth chart and has made Laughton's departure a non-factor."
"Credit where credit is due, Brad Treliving found a diamond in the rough and the Marlies and the player development team have done an excellent job of getting Groulx ready."
Benoit-Olivier Groulx has emerged as a standout player for the Maple Leafs in the late season, recording four points in his first five games. His energetic playstyle fills a gap in the bottom six, showcasing a determination reminiscent of past players. Despite previous struggles in Anaheim, Groulx has quickly established himself as a key player, surpassing others on the depth chart and taking on responsibilities like penalty killing. His performance suggests he could be a valuable asset for the team moving forward into the next season.
