Maple Leafs have completed their $10.5 million Mitch Marner replacement project
That created an interesting project: How do you replace a two-way star like that?
As they once said in the move Moneyball, it's about "replacing him in the aggregate."
Marner made $10.9 million last season.
The Maple Leafs have added a quartet of players worth $10.5 million for the upcoming season.
Here's the breakdown:
MORE: Alex Ovechkin gives a big update on his retirement plans
Maccelli, Joshua, Roy and Pezzetta give the Maple Leafs a variety of skillsets. None is Marner, but there's a mix of grit and skill among those four guys.
Toronto may not have Marner, but the expectations won't lower. So the Maple Leafs will do everything they can to make some noise anyway.

Knicks, Mikal Bridges agree to 4-year, $150 million extension: Source
The New York Knicks and Mikal Bridges have agreed to a four-year, $150 million contract extension, a league source confirmed to The Athletic. Bridges took less than the max to help New York attempt to stay under the second apron and continue to push toward a championship. The Knicks have six core players under contract for the next two years. ESPN was first to report the agreement. Can confirm the NYk and Mikal Bridges have agreed to a four-year, $150 million extension. Bridges took less than the max to help New York try and stay under 2nd apron and continue push toward title. Knicks have 6 core guys under contract next 2 seasons.@ShamsCharania first — James L. Edwards III (@JLEdwardsIII) July 31, 2025 The deal comes on the heels of the Knicks hiring Mike Brown as their new head coach. Brown, who replaced Tom Thibodeau, will manage the core of the New York team fresh off its first Eastern Conference finals appearance in 25 years. Last summer, the Knicks acquired Bridges in a trade with the crosstown-rival Nets, which was the first deal between the two teams since 1983. New York traded five first-round picks, a first-round pick swap, a second-round pick and Bojan Bogdanović to pair Bridges with Knicks wings OG Anunoby and Josh Hart. Advertisement At the time, the trade was viewed as a massive overpay for Bridges, who has never been named an All-Star. However, per league sources, the Knicks saw Bridges as the missing piece for a team that had the potential to contend for an NBA championship. Bridges was deemed league wide as one of the best 3-and-D wings given his ability to also operate with the ball in his hands. New York was also intrigued by the fact that Bridges has never missed a game in his NBA career. The Bridges trade was followed up by New York dealing for Karl-Anthony Towns just before the start of the last season. After those moves, the Knicks won 51 regular-season games and reached Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals. Despite the hefty price the Knicks executives forked over to trade for Bridges last summer, a contract extension agreement this offseason was not a given. Bridges' season in New York brought about mixed results. Thibodeau had him guarding at the point of attack defensively, which was a new role for the 28-year-old wing. Bridges struggled to be a consistent force for the first half of the season before finding more comfort as the head of the snake defensively. Bridges made several big defensive plays in the playoffs to help the Knicks hold off the Pistons and Celtics in the first two rounds. 'I don't know if people thought I stopped playing (defense),' Bridges said in a conversation with The Athletic during the playoffs. 'I know I struggled a little bit this year, but (I'm) just getting comfortable.' Offensively, Bridges was up-and-down for the bulk of the season. His 35.4-percent clip from 3 was his lowest mark since his rookie season. He struggled to make 3s that weren't in the corners, knocking down just 30 percent of his above-the-break 3s in the regular season. Bridges shot less than 120 free throws (118) during the regular season, which he also hadn't done since his rookie year (118). Furthermore, only 18.5 percent of Bridges' shot attempts came within three feet of the basket. Conversely, Bridges was one of the NBA's most efficient mid-range shooters. Advertisement On the other hand, there was some belief around the NBA that Bridges might want to test the open market next summer as a free agent. Anunoby signed a five-year, $212.5 million contract in the summer of 2024 and Desmond Bane signed a five-year, $197.2 million extension with the Grizzlies that same summer. (Bane's situation is a little different because it was the full rookie-scale extension.) Some league executives who spoke to The Athletic thought Bridges, given his history of never missing games, might play next season on an expiring contract and attempt to get closer to $200 million on the open market next summer. Bridges would have likely been one of the five most coveted unrestricted free agents in the summer of 2026, assuming the likes of Luka Dončić, De'Aaron Fox and Trae Young eventually strike extensions with their current teams. In the end, Bridges and the Knicks found a middle ground as the former went with the security. Now, both sides will go forward together attempting to secure the elusive NBA championship for the Knicks.

The Steelers are getting weird with tight ends, to Arthur Smith's delight: Takeaways
LATROBE, Pa. — When Pittsburgh Steelers general manager Omar Khan was asked about the acquisition of tight end Jonnu Smith, 'flexibility' was the first word that came to mind. 'We love his flexibility,' Khan said. 'If you look at where he played last year and even when Arthur (Smith) had him a couple years ago, he lines up at receiver. He has the ability to play outside receiver, inside receiver, tight end.' Advertisement After the past two days of practice, you can add one more position to the list: running back. During Wednesday's early practice walk-through period, the Steelers had 04 personnel (no running backs and four tight ends) in the huddle. When they lined up, Darnell Washington, Pat Freiermuth and Connor Heyward were in positions you'd expect. Jonnu Smith, the joker in this deck of cards, lined up in the backfield. Aaron Rodgers completed a pass to Smith in the flat on one of the plays. On another, he handed it to the tight end-turned-running back. Thursday, the Steelers continued to install more 04 personnel plays, including what appeared to be a wide-zone 'zorro' toss, with Heyward paving the way as a lead blocker for Smith. 'Everybody's got a different skill set, and so we gonna feed off each other,' Smith said. 'We can come together and see how we can put ourselves in the best advantageous position on Sundays. And I think that's the fun part about it.' Though the 04 personnel package is new for the Steelers, the way Arthur Smith is embracing the tight end position is not. He spent five formative years from 2014 to 2018 working directly with tight ends as a position coach in Tennessee and continued to feature the tight end as the offensive coordinator for the Titans and later as a play-calling head coach in Atlanta. Last season in Smith's first year as the Steelers' offensive coordinator, Pittsburgh led the NFL in 13 personnel (one back, three tight ends) with 177 plays, according to TruMedia. Add in the 275 plays in 12 personnel (one back, two tight ends), and they utilized multiple tight ends on more than 40 percent of snaps, making Smith perhaps the NFL's most tight-end-friendly coordinator. The Steelers leaned into this philosophy even more when they traded Minkah Fitzpatrick for Jonnu Smith and All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey. Pittsburgh now employs two of the NFL's 10 highest-paid tight ends on a per-year average, per Over the Cap — Freiermuth is ninth ($12.1 million per year) and Smith, who signed a one-year extension through 2026 as part of the trade, is right behind him ($12 million). Advertisement 'So much of the game has gotten into the sub defenses,' Arthur Smith said, referring to nickel and dime packages. '(The tight end) can give you unique matchups. If teams want to go small … in theory, you should have a leg up. They went small. We are big. … If they're in sub defense, making little DBs play two-back runs or play into heavy, condensed (formations), they might misfit a gap.' Pittsburgh's offensive coordinator said he never treats tight ends as 'apples to apples.' In a crowded room, each of the Steelers' top options gives the team a little something different. 'We've got a guy like Darnell as a 'Y' that's as good as some tackles blocking, or even in some of the protection things you want to do,' Arthur Smith said. 'Pat's a very instinctive route runner. … Pat's our unique chess piece. 'Jonnu, I've just been with him so long (in Tennessee and Atlanta). He's a unique catch-and-run guy, some of the vertical stuff. He's taken screens to the house for 60 yards. And then Connor is another unique guy.' A player like Jonnu Smith or Washington can be a mismatch on his own, but the Steelers can take things to another level when they put multiple tight ends in the huddle and then deploy them in various ways. For example, they might have three tight ends on the field, but all split out wide. They could have four tight ends, but Heyward is in the backfield as a blocker. They can also line up one way and motion into a completely different formation. New TE Jonnu Smith hitting the sled — Mike DeFabo (@MikeDeFabo) July 30, 2025 'That's the beauty of it, is just being able to move those pieces around so it can look like 10 personnel (one back, no tight ends),' Smith said. 'It can look like 12 (one back, two tight ends), look like 13. It can look like 22 (two backs, two tight ends). To be able to do that with those chess pieces, if you got the guys that could win in the passing game and are decent enough run blockers, that just gives you way more flexibility.' Advertisement Somewhat along the same lines, the Steelers also showed a 'tackle-over' formation this week in which right tackle Troy Fautanu and the other offensive tackle (Calvin Anderson, filling in for Broderick Jones) aligned next to each other on the right side. Washington lined up next to the guard on the left side. With this tactic, the Steelers can create an extra gap, outnumber defenders on the front side, disguise where eligible receivers are aligned (which is especially useful against man coverage) and trick defenses by rushing to the line. It doesn't hurt that Washington is as big as a tackle and can hold up in pass protection, if needed. Now, it's important to address that just because the Steelers want to feature the tight end in all these ways doesn't mean it's always productive. In fact, some stats suggest that every time the Steelers put an additional tight end on the field last year, they became less efficient, according to metrics from TruMedia. Overall: If EPA is your preferred metric, the Steelers produced a positive total EPA out of only 11 personnel (0.51), according to TruMedia. In 12 personnel, they were at -6.14, and in 13, they accumulated -54.73. Those numbers don't materially improve when isolated to first and second downs, when runs are more likely Only three teams ran 13 personnel more than 100 times last year. The Arizona Cardinals (162 plays) were twice as efficient as the Steelers, averaging 6.0 yards per play and 4.3 yards per carry. The Chiefs, meanwhile, ran 13 personnel 110 plays, averaging 4.5 yards per play and 3.6 yards per rush. If you're looking for reasons the Steelers' stats could improve this year, there are a couple of things to consider. Using Jonnu Smith, a Pro Bowler, as the second or third tight end instead of Heyward could make a major difference. When Heyward was on the field in 13 personnel last season, the production dipped to 2.5 yards per play and 2.4 yards per rush. Upgrades at running back could lead to better rushing production in general. A quarterback more capable of completing intermediate passes should help tight ends. And, if the offensive coordinator does in fact tap into his tight ends' versatility to expand or condense sets — essentially making the defense wrong no matter which personnel package it sends onto the field — the efficiency could improve. 'The guys that we have in the tight end room, we have a lot of skill sets in there,' Freiermuth said. 'I think Art does a great job of getting us in looks that we want to be in. If the defense is going to play something that we don't feel comfortable matchup-wise, then we're not going to do it. But if we can get in four tight ends, three tight ends, and we have an advantage schematically, then we're going to go out there and we're going to run it.' Advertisement • After practicing in pads on Wednesday, the Steelers had a much lighter workout in helmets and shoulder pads Thursday. That didn't stop tempers from flaring. During one-on-one coverage drills, Smith caught a pass over safety Juan Thornhill, then spiked the ball at the DB's feet. Thornhill took exception, and the two players started wrestling. Smith ended up ripping Thornhill's helmet off. In a rematch, Thornhill got physical with Smith at the line of scrimmage, giving him no room to create separation. After the pass fell incomplete, Thornhill picked up the ball and handed it to Smith, causing more barking. 'I loved the energy and competitive spirit on display,' coach Mike Tomlin said. 'I think you can learn and develop skills while competing. I'd rather say whoa than sic 'em. This is a football team we're putting together.' • In other one-on-one drills, Roman Wilson beat Joey Porter Jr. on a deep ball. It's been a quiet camp for Wilson to this point, making the go route one of his flashiest plays. • The Payton Wilson-Kenneth Gainwell matchup continued. The speedy running back won on a whip route early. On another rep, Gainwell used a skip-step to gain separation. The ball from Mason Rudolph was a bit underthrown. Wilson raced to close the gap and break up the play. • In Seven Shots, the defense won the day 4-3. During Rodgers' three reps to start the drill, the QB just missed DK Metcalf on a fade route with Darius Slay in coverage. Rodgers came right back to Metcalf on the next play, throwing a slant low where only the receiver could get it. On Rodgers' third rep, he looked for Wilson on an out route, but Slay again was in good position to force an incompletion. • Injuries are adding up at defensive tackle. Dean Lowry, Jacob Slade and Esezi Otomewo all sustained knee injuries Wednesday and did not practice Thursday. Tomlin said they're being evaluated. • Isaac Seuamalo was activated from the non-football injury list ahead of practice. He worked out only during individual periods. Broderick Jones, who is recovering from a groin injury, also competed only in individual drills. (Photo of Jonnu Smith: Gene J. Puskar / Associated Press)

Tigers swing deal hoping Charlie Morton, 41, still has more in the tank
DETROIT — The Detroit Tigers got a starting pitcher, and it is 41-year-old Charlie Morton. The right-hander has endured a fascinating year, going 0-7 with an 8.35 ERA in his first 11 starts with the Baltimore Orioles. Since then, though, Morton has shown signs of life, including a five-start stretch in June where he had a 2.88 ERA. Advertisement It is not yet known what the Orioles got back in the trade. Signed on a one-year, $15 million deal (the same money the Tigers gave Alex Cobb, who has yet to pitch this season due to injury), Morton is a veteran of 18 major-league seasons. He should give the Tigers what could prove to be needed rotation depth, joining a staff that already features Tarik Skubal, Casey Mize, Jack Flaherty and recent trade acquisition Chris Paddack. Adding Morton to the mix could allow rookie Troy Melton to move to a swingman role or the bullpen. Keider Montero can also remain an on-call option in Triple A. Three months ago, Morton seemed more likely to be released than traded to a playoff contender. The Orioles dumped him into the bullpen at the end of April. Given his age, it seemed that time had finally caught up to Morton and his days as a viable big-league starter were over. But Morton pitched pretty well in a long relief role and moved back into the rotation on May 26. He's been excellent ever since. His 94 mph fastball velocity remains the same as ever, and he continues to throw a ton of curveballs (that pitch has been a staple in the later stages of his career). He's still striking out more than a batter per inning. The second-oldest player in the Major Leagues behind Justin Verlander, Morton made his big-league debut in 2008 with the Atlanta Braves. (Chipper Jones was still on the team and Bobby Cox was still the manager.) Traded the next season, Morton truly established himself through seven seasons with the Pittsburgh Pirates before becoming an All-Star with the Houston Astros and Tampa Bay Rays. He returned to the Braves in 2021 and averaged 31 starts per season from ages 37 to 40 before signing a one-year deal with the Orioles this offseason. Morton has 80 innings of postseason experience, pitching to a 3.60 ERA and winning two championships, most recently with the Braves in 2021. (Photo of Charlie Morton: Mike Ehrmann / Getty Images)
