The Toronto Maple Leafs have historically had strong Stanley Cup odds at the BetMGM sportsbook, but they’re now likely headed towards a retool, if not a full-on rebuild.
With so many highly paid stars such as Auston Matthews, William Nylander, and John Tavares, it begs the question of how the Leafs will fit new additions under the salary cap.
Below, I’ll break down how much cap space the Maple Leafs actually have.
How Much Cap Space Do the Toronto Maple Leafs Have?
The Maple Leafs currently have just over $10 million in cap space.
With the NHL’s salary cap projected to rise to $104 million in 2026-27, Toronto will have well over $20 million in cap space before signing any free agents.
