"Matias Maccelli will look to make an impact in his first season in blue and white as the 24-year-old joins a new-look Leafs offence after the "Core Four" era came to an end when Mitch Marner was sent to Vegas for Nicolas Roy after signing an eight-year contract ahead of free agency. The Leafs acquired Macelli on June 30 from the Utah Mammoth in exchange for a condirional third-round pick in the 2027 NHL draft;"
"with the potential of it becoming a sound-round pick in 2029 if the Leafs make the playoffs and Maccelli has at least 51 points. Maccelli will look to bounce back in Toronto. A promising start to his career with the Arizona Coyotes saw Maccelli put up 112 points in 169 games played, including a career high 57 points in 82 games in 2023-24."
"In an early roster projection done by Matt Larkin of Daily Faceoff, Maccelli is projected to be on the outside looking in when Finland names their roster for the 2026 Winter Olympics. Team Finland named their first six players to their roster in June as Mikko Rantanen, Sebastian Aho, Aleksander Barkov, Jusse Saros, Miro Heiskanen and Esa Lindell will all represent Finland in Milan."
Matias Maccelli joins the Toronto Maple Leafs after being acquired from the Utah Mammoth for a conditional third-round pick that can upgrade to 2029 depending on playoff and scoring conditions. The 24-year-old winger posted 112 points in 169 games with the Arizona Coyotes, including a 57-point career high in 2023–24, but scored just 18 points in 55 games after the franchise moved to Utah. Maccelli faces roster competition for both the Leafs' lineup and Team Finland's 2026 Olympic roster, and must regain offensive form to justify the Leafs' gamble and earn international selection.
