3 Maple Leafs players poised for a breakout season
"The 2025-26 NHL season will be set to kick off for the Toronto Maple Leafs on Wednesday. With their roster finally set after some last-minute surprises, the Maple Leafs will be gearing up for another big year ahead of them as they aim to make it back to the playoffs for a tenth consecutive season. In order to fulfill their destiny, Toronto will need some of their players to step up with their production to help supplement the stars on the team."
"Now getting a fresh start with the Maple Leafs after coming over to Toronto in an offseason trade with Utah, the 24-year-old forward will get the luxury to begin the season on the top line with Auston Matthews and Matthew Knies. With Maccelli already among the team's scoring leaders during the preseason with four points in four games, look for the young winger to explode playing alongside one of the best lines in the entire league."
"This season, it appears as though he will get a good run with John Tavares and William Nylander tandem at least to start the year. If he manages to run away with that role, given Tavares has been renowned to make his linemates look like scoring stars, look for McMann to finally make his mark in the 2025-26 season and finally lock down a permanent spot on the top six."
The Toronto Maple Leafs enter the 2025-26 season with their roster finalized and a goal of reaching the playoffs for a tenth consecutive year. The team will rely on increased production from supporting forwards to supplement its star players. Matias Maccelli arrives after a down year but will start on the top line with Auston Matthews and Matthew Knies and showed four preseason points in four games. Bobby McMann improved to a career-high 34 points last season and looks likely to begin the year alongside John Tavares and William Nylander, offering a chance to secure a permanent top-six role.
