The Toronto Maple Leafs made an under-the-radar move earlier this offseason when they acquired promising winger Matias Maccelli from the Utah Mammoth for a conditional third-round pick. Maccelli had shown his offensive potential in two seasons that he spent previously with the Arizona Coyotes where he put up 49 and 57-point campaigns.
With cap space at a premium, being able to maximize young talent and potential for the right price will be a key for sustainable success for the Maple Leafs heading into the upcoming season.
With that in mind, could the Leafs nab another promising young forward from the Nashville Predators before the 2025-26 NHL regular season begins as well?
