Brad Treliving, General Manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs, acquired forward Dakota Joshua from the Vancouver Canucks for a 2028 4th-round pick. Joshua, 29, is under contract for three more years at $3.25 million, with projections of 15+ goals and 30+ points. His prior season performance, 18 goals and 32 points in 63 games, suggests a potential 22 goals and 41 points over a full season. Joshua's playoff record is promising, scoring 4 goals and 8 points in 13 games during the 2024 playoffs, addressing the Leafs' depth scoring issues while the team still lacks a top-6 forward.
Dakota Joshua, acquired for the 2028 4th-round pick, is signed for three years at $3.25 million, projecting to produce 15+ goals and 30+ points.
Joshua's 2023-24 performance includes 18 goals and 32 points in 63 games, which translates to around 22 goals and 41 points over a full season.
In the 2024 playoffs, Joshua scored 4 goals and 8 points in 13 games, ranking him tied for 4th on the Leafs in playoff goals and points.
The additions of Joshua, Nicolas Roy, and Matias Maccelli improve depth scoring, but the Leafs still need another true top-6 forward to strengthen the team.
