Beyond the preseason and its exhibition games, and trying to decide who makes the final roster out of training camp, the Toronto Maple Leafs had one massive task before the 2025-26 NHL regular season starts. And according to some reports Sunday morning, it looks like they're going to get it done.
As reported by Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, the Leafs and their goaltender Anthony Stolarz are closing in on a contract extension and while Friedman gives no specific timeline, we have to imagine that it will be done within the coming days. And whenever it is done, it will be coming in around $4 million per year as a cap hit.
