Overview
- Max Domi failed his physical, Maple Leafs general manager John Chayka confirmed Wednesday, and the team says he will be out indefinitely.
- NHL insider reporting has suggested Domi could miss a sizable portion of the season, though the club has not provided a specific timeline.
- Morgan Rielly arrived at camp with a short viral condition that might cost him the first preseason game but is expected to be ready by opening night, and Chayka said no serious trade offer materialized for him over the summer.
- Chris Tanev has been cleared to play, a development that strengthens Toronto’s defensive options as the club finalizes its opening‑night lineup.
- Prospect William Villeneuve underwent ACL reconstruction and will be sidelined long term, reducing internal depth and increasing the chance management will pursue roster or cap moves before the Sept. 29 season opener.
