The Toronto Maple Leafs were the busiest team in the National Hockey League a day before NHL Free Agency. In the process, June 30, 2025 will forever be remembered as a significant day in the history of the franchise. The Maple Leafs made two trades. The most significant deal came with the Vegas Golden Knights as they traded right winger Mitch Marner of Markham, Ontario to Vegas for center Nicolas Roy of Amos, Quebec. Marner has been a significant part of the Maple Leafs for the last decade, but could not find the necessary chemistry with William Nylander and Auston Matthews to win a Stanley Cup. The Maple Leafs also acquired left winger Matias Maccelli of Turku, Finland from the Utah Mammoth for a conditional third round pick in the 2027 NHL Entry Draft.
