Auston Matthews touches on Mitch Marner's departure, looks ahead to Maple Leafs season
Life goes on. Article content That's how Maple Leafs captain Auston Matthews is taking stock of the team's future without Mitch Marner, whose next game in Toronto won't be for another five months, when the Vegas Golden Knights visit Scotiabank Arena on Jan. 23. Article content Article content 'We'll miss him,' Matthews said on Wednesday night at the CAA Centre in Brampton. 'He's a great friend, great teammate. That's kind of the business side of it that's tough, but obviously I wish him nothing but the best. We'll just keep it moving.' Article content Matthews missed 15 games during the 2024-25 regular season with an undisclosed injury and when the playoffs were done, he acknowledged it was a physically tough year, but that he would be 100% for the start of the 2025-26 season. He said on Wednesday that his health was 'good.' Article content In his first media availability since the Leafs had exit interviews at the end of May following a second-round loss to the Florida Panthers, Matthews spoke before taking part in Hockey Night in Brampton, an annual charity game held to raise funds for a second hospital in the city. Ground was broken this past spring. Article content Two years ago, John Tavares was the marquee Leafs attraction; last year, Marner, dealt to Vegas in a sign-and-trade at the end of June, and Max Domi took part in the game, hosted each August by Brampton mayor Patrick Brown. Article content Among those playing on Wednesday night were Leafs defenceman Chris Tanev, Owen Power of the Buffalo Sabres and Dylan Strome of the Washington Capitals, former Leafs Gary Roberts, Owen Nolan, Curtis Joseph and Mark Giordano and Toronto Sceptres captain Blayre Turnbull. Article content Article content 'It's special just to give back to the community, coming here, you're meeting so many NHL alumni, different guys from all over the place. It's cool to do it for a good cause and have some fun too.' Article content There's no replacing Marner, of course, but Leafs general manager Brad Treliving has done what he can to re-shape the forward group, adding Matias Maccelli, Nicholas Roy, Dakota Joshua and Michael Pezzetta. More moves are possible, with David Kampf and/or Calle Jarnkrok potentially being traded. Article content 'Feeling good (about next season),' Matthews said. 'A lot of changes, but excited about the guys we brought in, excited about the guys that we have. I know we have a great team and great group of guys in the locker room. Article content 'Looking forward to getting started. Guys are going to have to take some steps, but I think that's a good thing, a good problem to have.' Article content At the top of the group of players who can go to another level: Winger Matthew Knies, coming off a 29-goal season. The 22-year-old's summer will come to an early end next week when he will join Matthews at USA Hockey's Olympic orientation camp in Plymouth, Mich.

‘We'll obviously miss him': Maple Leafs' Auston Matthews on Mitch Marner's departure
Auston Matthews speaks to reporters ahead of Mayor Patrick Brown's Hockey Night in Brampton event on Wednesday, Aug. 20, 2025. Toronto Maple Leafs star player Auston Matthews says the team will 'obviously miss' Mitch Marner, who was traded to the Las Vegas Knights this summer. Speaking to reporters in Brampton on Wednesday afternoon ahead of Mayor Patrick Brown's hockey game fundraiser, Matthews was asked about his thoughts on Marner's departure. ADVERTISEMENT 'We'll obviously miss him. He's a great friend, great teammate,' the Leafs centre said. Marner was traded in a sign-and-trade deal with Vegas. In return, Toronto acquired Nicolas Roy. Matthews said trades are part of the business side of the game. 'That's tough but obviously I wish him nothing but the best. We'll just keep it moving,' Matthews said. Marner's trade came on the heels of another second-round exit for the Leafs in the Stanley Cup playoffs, losing to the eventual champions, the Florida Panthers. When asked how he's feeling about the upcoming NHL season, the Toronto captain said he's excited, especially with new teammates. During the offseason, the Leafs also acquired forwards Matias Maccelli, Dakota Joshua, and Michael Pezzetta and defenceman Henry Thrun. 'I know we got a great team and a great group of guys in the locker rooms. So looking forward to kind of getting started,' Matthews said. '(It's) got to take some steps but I think that's a good problem to have so really looking forward to it.'
