"It's hard to put into words, I'm not necessarily trying to speculate on leaving either. I think I just want to battle here. Working my way into the NHL here and getting the opportunity, I want to make the most of it and continue to put my best effort forward, no matter the situation."
"McMann, who's a pending unrestricted free agent, had expressed a desire to remain with the Maple Leafs while also acknowledging that a trade was something that could potentially be a reality. He developed through the organization as a late-bloomer, starting in the ECHL before earning a contract with the team after going undrafted."
Bobby McMann was traded from the Toronto Maple Leafs to the Seattle Kraken in exchange for a second-round pick in 2027 and a fourth-round pick in 2026. McMann, a pending unrestricted free agent, had previously expressed his desire to remain with Toronto while acknowledging trade possibilities. The forward developed through the organization as a late-bloomer, progressing from the ECHL to earning an undrafted contract. Currently experiencing a career year with 19 goals and 32 points in 60 games, McMann is on pace for his second 20-goal season. He was scratched in Toronto's last two games alongside teammates Scott Laughton and Oliver Ekman-Larsson in anticipation of deadline trades.
