Those were the first moves in an offseason of massive change in Toronto.
On June 16, Toronto acquired goalie Samuel Ersson and defenseman Emil Andrae in a trade with the Philadelphia Flyers for goalie Joseph Woll and defenseman Simon Benoit. (Ersson was then traded to the Ottawa Senators on Friday for a fifth-round pick in the 2027 NHL Draft). The next day, the Maple Leafs hired Jim Hiller as their coach, replacing Craig Berube (fired May 13).
Two days later, Toronto acquired defenseman Darren Raddysh in a trade with the Tampa Bay Lightning for a fifth-round pick in the 2026 draft. As part of the sign-and-trade move, Raddysh signed an eight-year contract with the Lightning before being sent to the Maple Leafs.
