Toronto Maple Leafs left wing Matthew Knies celebrates his goal during second period, second round, game one, NHL Stanley Cup hockey action against the Florida Panthers, in Toronto, Tuesday, May 2, 2023.Lee's impacts to be felt as the storm tracks into Atlantic Canada this weekend | SaltWireA new era for the Maple Leafs begins on the ice this week with the opening of training camp, Brad Treliving’s first since he took over as general manager at the end of May after Kyle Dubas was fired.
As for expectations, those haven’t changed. We would bet there’s a feeling in the dressing room that this is a team that can win a Cup. Sending either to the minors to save money would hurt the Leafs on the ice. Knies, against tough competition, proved in the Stanley Cup playoffs last spring that he can make an impact. Holmberg demonstrated in 37 games that he is ready to be, if nothing else, the full-time centre on the fourth line.
During the European player media tour in August, Nylander shrugged and said he didn’t understand why there was a big rush to get his name on a new deal. Bertuzzi, looking to score 30 goals for the second time in the NHL, should ensure that the Leafs don’t miss Bunting, who took back-to-back 23-goal seasons to Carolina in free agency.
What we know is that Bertuzzi and Domi will bring some “snot,” to use Treliving’s word. Ditto for Ryan Reaves on the fourth line.Back on July 1, Treliving called the defence corps “a work in progress.” That was after he signed John Klingberg and before he added Simon Benoit. Both D-men — Klingberg before he was traded to Minnesota at the deadline — logged top-four minutes on an Anaheim Ducks team that finished last overall.
