The Toronto Maple Leafs are adding winger Matias Maccelli from the Utah Mammoth.
The Toronto Maple Leafs add a key middle-six winger in Utah's Matias Maccelli on Monday in exchange for a conditional third-round pick.
The pick will become a 2029 second-rounder if Maccelli tallies at least 51 points in the 2025-26 season and Toronto makes the playoffs. The move now gives Toronto $10.1 million in cap space after acquiring Maccelli while the Mammoth now have $18.4 million available.
Maccelli, 24, is a skilled, playmaking winger that brings a feisty style of play that should add a different layer to a Maple Leafs lineup desperate for playoff success.
The Finnish winger recorded 57 points a season ago when playing with the Arizona Coyotes, where he recorded 17 goals and 40 assists across all 82 games. His production dipped this season in Utah, with just 18 points in 55 games, but a fresh start in Toronto may reignite his game.
From a betting perspective, Maccelli's arrival could provide a bigger boost than expected for the Leafs' playoff hopes. If he finds chemistry with Toronto’s skilled core, bettors could find value in player point props or even futures markets that factor in offensive depth.
His presence subtly improves the team's balance, potentially making Toronto a stronger contender to go deeper in the playoffs than in recent years.
