TORONTO — The allure of summer relaxation calls, but General Manager Brad Treliving cannot fully unwind and put away his work just yet.
The Toronto Maple Leafs have had an off-season that started with promise in the post-Core Four era, but it still feels incomplete.
It`s hard to argue that the team, which finished atop the Atlantic Division in the 2024-25 season, has definitively improved on paper so far.
However!
There is still salary cap space available, potential trades to explore, and ample time before the season begins in October, let alone the crucial stretch run in March.
Let`s take a look at the current composition of the 2025-26 Maple Leafs roster and assess which objectives on Treliving`s off-season checklist are still pending.
