The result was 108 points and the team&#8217;s first Atlantic Division title. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Repeating that will be difficult, as will replacing Marner&#8217;s 102-point season. But a handful of more games from captain <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/stats\/nhl\/players\/auston_matthews\">Auston Matthews<\/a> would help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Matthews missed 15 games with an injury and was quiet in Toronto&#8217;s seven-game series loss to the Panthers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Matthew Knies taking another step would also be crucial. He had a career-high 58 points last season as a 22-year-old. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The defence is still solid with elite goaltending standing behind them. Anthony Stolarz had the best save percentage (.926) in the NHL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of that, Toronto boasted a top-10 defence, allowing the sixth-fewest goals against per game (2.79).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That should be the case again this season, while Matthews, Knies, William Nylander and John Tavares are enough to give the Leafs immense offensive upside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Maple Leafs futures markets: Player props<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Best bets<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Odds<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Nylander over 83.5 points<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/event\/1024213270?coupon=combination|3885105619|0|replace\">-112<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Matthews over 44.5 goals<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/event\/1024213272?coupon=combination|3890079485|0|replace\">-130<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Prediction: Nylander over 83.5 points (-112)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nylander led the Leafs with 45 goals last season but had his fewest assists (39) since 2020-21.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The year before last, he had a career-high 58 assists and 98 points. With Marner leaving, the extra production will be needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nylander had just 16 secondary assists last season, tied for 75th in the NHL and the same amount as Oliver Ekman-Larsson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on how much of the offence flows through the winger, this is an indication of some bad luck. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though he didn&#8217;t rack up as many points as expected last season, Nylander still cleared this mark, and there&#8217;s no reason to think more production isn&#8217;t coming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Matthews futures prop bet<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Prediction: Matthews over 44.5 goals (-130) <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Matthews had a bad offensive year by his standards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His 33 goals were the fewest he&#8217;s ever had, but some things were working against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Beyond the injuries, Matthews dealt with bad luck, plain and simple. According to MoneyPuck, he led the NHL with 41.1 expected goals.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>For reference, Leon Draisaitl led the league with 52 goals but had significantly less xG (31.4).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Surprisingly, Matthews is only 3-3 against this wager over his past six seasons, but he did score 60 twice, demonstrating his ceiling smashes this line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 28-year-old ranked in the 98th percentile for shots on goal last season (261) but had a below-average 12.6 shooting percentage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Matthews will continue to shoot the puck at an alarming rate, and there&#8217;s a lot that can be improved on. That&#8217;s why I&#8217;m buying in on the bounce back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Maple Leafs futures markets as of 3:30 p.m. on 09\/29\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2025-26 NHL season is around the corner, and the Toronto Maple Leafs will have a different look after busting up their core four.
