Summary
Toronto Maple Leafs eye a fresh start this summer, prioritizing a new head coach before diving into the 2026 NHL Draft and free agency—key moments to rebuild their roster. Defense is a glaring need, and Mario Ferraro, a young, physical defenseman with elite shot-blocking and puck-moving skills, emerges as a top target. With 150 blocked shots, 137 hits, and 23 points last season, Ferraro offers both grit and offense—and at just 25, he’s a potential younger Jake McCabe. Signing him could be the first big move, especially since he’s from Toronto, and pairing him with Darren Raddysh might even pave the way for trading Morgan Rielly. One step at a time, but Ferraro could be the cornerstone of their defensive resurgence. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
