The Toronto Maple Leafs pulled off a shocking late-night trade with the San Jose Sharks, shedding a potentially problematic contract.

After Auston Matthews' Toronto Maple Leafs handed Mitch Marner a ludicrous contract before trading him to the Vegas Golden Knights, another NHL team is reportedly working on an even bigger extension.

The Toronto Marlies' home opener has been revealed. The American Hockey League announced on Wednesday that Toronto's first home game will be played on Oct. 11 inside Coca-Cola Coliseum against the division rival Rochester Americans. The AHL will release the entire season schedule on Thursday.

The Minnesota Wild acquired Vladimir Tarasenko from the Detroit Red Wings for future considerations on June 30. The Wild will pay the full amount of Tarasenko’s remaining contract (one year, $4.75 million).

Wild GM Bill Geurin didn’t want to overpay on free agents like Nikolaj Ehlers or Mikael Granlund. Brock Boeser might have been the only exception, but he re-signed with the Canucks. They want to keep some options open if bigger-named player decides that he wants out of his current situation.

Bruce Cassidy made a borderline statement hinting at when Mitch Marner’s Vegas Golden Knights could face the Toronto Maple Leafs during the 2025–26 NHL season.

With several key departures during free agency, the Toronto Maple Leafs have continued to add, bringing in three more free agents on Monday.
