The 2025-26 NHL season is upon us as training camp officially begins this week. For the Toronto Maple Leafs, their overall roster makeup appears more or less set, especially at the defense and goaltending positions. However, there will be a few spots available for battle for the Leafs’ bottom-six heading into the season.
For key acquisitions in Nicolas Roy this past offseason and Scott Laughton from the trade deadline, they should have their roles secured already. But for some others, this training camp could make or break their chances in playing for Toronto this year.
