And then there was one. Saturday night’s game against the Red Wings marks the end of the Maple Leafs’ preseason and the final activity left will be publishing the starting roster for 2025-26. It’s exciting and there are some legitimate tough decisions to make and a strong possibility that some current Leafs could be starting … Read more
At the time of writing this, half of the Leafs preseason is over and the regular season is a week and a half away.
