Five burning questions for the Leafs when season begins
The Maple Leafs aim to win the Atlantic Division and have home-ice advantage. They should make the post-season for the seventh year in a row.
Matt Murray and Ilya Samsonov are coming off disappointing seasons. Frederik Andersen and Jack Campbell had stellar seasons in the past.
Auston Matthews was the first NHL player in a decade to score 60 goals. He played 73 games and scored 60 or more goals every night.
The Toronto Maple Leafs have had fewer injuries than most teams in the past few years. However, age is catching up with some players and training camp saw an unusual number sidelined.
The Toronto Maple Leafs need to find a new scorer beyond their core. Last year, Ilya Mikheyev broke through the 20-goal barrier and rookie Michael Bunting had 63 points.
Kyle Dubas is a pending free agent. Auston Matthews and William Nylander are eligible to sign extensions. Bunting, Pierre Engvall, Alex Kerfoot and David Kämpf are facing unrestricted free agency.
