A recent report reveals three major names who could potentially become Mitch Marner’s replacement for Auston Matthews’ Toronto Maple Leafs ahead of the 2025-26 NHL season.

Following the Mitch Marner trade, the Toronto Maple Leafs are reportedly considering a reunion with Nazem Kadri. Despite Kadri's contentment in Calgary and his no-movement clause, sources suggest he'd be open to returning to Toronto if a deal is reached.

NHL free agency has arrived, and that means teams around the league will be looking to make upgrades to their rosters for the 2025-26 season. Many teams have already taken care of business before July 1 by re-signing key players to extensions.
