## Resource

The Maple Leafs made a splash in free agency, bringing in Sergei Bobrovsky and a haul of forwards—including Jack Roslovic, Colton Sissons, Brandon Duhaime, and Teddy Blueger—to fortify their bottom lines. They also traded for Nick Paul to add depth. While top prospect Gavin McKenna was drafted earlier, these signings aren’t meant to play with Auston Matthews. But Colton Sissons? That’s a different story. Despite a modest point total last season, Sissons is seen as a defensive anchor—winning faceoffs, killing penalties, and handling tough zone draws. The plan? Free Matthews from defensive duties so he can focus on offense. If Sissons succeeds, it could be the spark Matthews needs to return to elite scoring form.
