Summary
The Toronto Maple Leafs are in turmoil after missing the playoffs for the first time in a decade, leading to the firing of GM and head coach—and a new leadership duo stepping in. Amid the chaos, defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson shines as the team’s most consistent player, posting 39 points in 78 games. Despite rumors of a trade deadline move, he stayed put, embracing the uncertainty while balancing personal life—his family was expecting a baby just two weeks after the season’s struggles. Ekman-Larsson, now focused on finding his groove and contributing as a reliable defenseman, wants to stay with the Leafs and help them return to the postseason by 2026-27, leaving the big decisions to new GM John Chayka and Mats Sundin.
