The Toronto Maple Leafs’ opening night roster is finally out.

After sending Easton Cowan back to the London Knights, the team quickly announced the contingent of players they’d be taking into the 2024-25 NHL regular season.

While there were a few training camp battles and a pair of professional tryout contracts via Steven Lorentz and Max Pacioretty, there are no real surprises on Toronto’s opening night roster.

Five players, Connor Dewar, Calle Jarnkrok, Fraser Minten, Jani Hakanpää, and Dakota Mermis, begin the season battling injuries and are on either regular or long-term injured reserve.
