Please don't be the fan that thinks Easton Cowan is ready for the show because they listed him at 6'0", because earlier this summer he knew he wasn't. Or that Cade Webber is a wash for losing that inch. Behind all the talk about Marner and stuff, a big topic of conversation is hoping Morgan Rielly can have a comeback year. As a veteran player it's surprising how much weight he's lost. We'll see what it looks like in the games. > Here's the full breakdown from Leafs training camp compared to the player's listing from last year's camp (or previous team if acquired since). > > Notables include: > • Morgan Rielly slims down to 219\. He's been at 220+ for as long as I can remember > • Easton Cowan at 6-foot, 190 [https://t.co/plxijg6gX2](https://t.co/plxijg6gX2?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) [pic.twitter.com/wrB0WU55Kk](https://t.co/wrB0WU55Kk?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — Kyle Cushman (@Kyle\_Cush) [September 17, 2025](https://twitter.com/Kyle%5FCush/status/1968377446119682406?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) Check out the media availability from the first skating day of camp. Nick Robertson got a lot of questions about changes he's made, but he beyond training on his body positioning in battles he hasn't changed his mentality. Also, Chris Tanev has good things to say about Dakota Joshua. Preseason All-Star voting is underway. Maybe this time it's enough for a trade. > Craig Berube says Nick Robertson was “noticeable” and “intense” on the first day of Leafs camp. > > — Jonas Siegel (@jonassiegel) [September 18, 2025](https://twitter.com/jonassiegel/status/1968731031541776437?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) The original plan was to play Domi with Matthews and Knies, but instead yesterday Maccelli got the role. I don't think it's as negative of a situation as the headline makes it out to be. It should be said Maccelli hasn't played first line minutes before, he's been solidly in the middle of the lineup in the NHL in his career, so it would be a big jump for him. > Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube says he was reluctant to start Matias Maccelli with Matthew Knies and Auston Matthews on day one, but had to with Max Domi's injury. > > "You get thrown on the line with Matthews and Knies, I mean, it's a big step." 🔗⤵️[https://t.co/SeLzAodR8v](https://t.co/SeLzAodR8v?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — Nick Barden (@nickbarden) [September 18, 2025](https://twitter.com/nickbarden/status/1968745524120436956?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) The writing appears to be on the wall for Robertson, and for a Stolarz extension. [\- TSNTSN Hockey Insider Chris Johnston joins Mark Masters to share his thoughts on Matias Maccelli getting a look on the Maple Leafs’ top line at the first practice of training camp, discuss why Toronto is a great fit for Anthony Stolarz, and why he thinks Nick Robertson could use a change of scenery.![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/34/01/3401a938-f468-4c02-a227-9bc4cc09bad4/content/images/icon/favicon-115.ico)TSN![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/34/01/3401a938-f468-4c02-a227-9bc4cc09bad4/content/images/thumbnail/https-3A-2F-2Fd3g70guqh4mw9g.cloudfront.net-2F09-18-2025-2Ft_e0f9607cee464490886af02ec1dd7719_name_2025_9_18_2c88eff6_eee4_468c_8509_7e715429a728_jpg_1920x1080.jpg)](https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/video/2025/09/18/johnston-would-be-shocked-if-leafs-stolarz-dont-get-deal-done/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) Here were the lines from both groups in camp. > Lines at first practice of Leafs camp > > Knies - Matthews - Maccelli > Lorentz - Laughton - Robertson > Pezzetta - Kampf - Jarnkrok > Barbolini - Groulx - Tverberg > Valis > > Rielly - Carlo > Thrun - Myers > Rifai - Danford > Chadwick - Benning > > Stolarz > Hildeby > > Group 1/2 [@TSN\_Sports](https://twitter.com/TSN%5FSports?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) [pic.twitter.com/Yz2230S7Q0](https://t.co/Yz2230S7Q0?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — Mark Masters (@markhmasters) [September 18, 2025](https://twitter.com/markhmasters/status/1968684215311970694?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > Lines at Leafs practice > Group 2/2 > > McMann - Tavares - W.Nylander > Joshua - Roy - Cowan > A.Nylander - Haymes - Boyd > Sim - Quillan - Lettieri > Holinka > > McCabe - Tanev > Ekman-Larsson - Benoit > Prokop -Mermis > Webber - Villeneuve > > Woll > Akhtyamov [@TSN\_Sports](https://twitter.com/TSN%5FSports?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) [pic.twitter.com/PD43OSkd5i](https://t.co/PD43OSkd5i?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — Mark Masters (@markhmasters) [September 18, 2025](https://twitter.com/markhmasters/status/1968716337443643738?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) A summary of the Leafs and Marlies lines look like this: ### Leafs lines (sorry, Easton) Knies-Matthews-Maccelli McMann-Tavares-Nylander Joshua-Roy-Järnkrok Lorentz-Laughton-Robertson Kämpf-Pezzetta inj: Domi McCabe-Tanev Rielly-Carlo OEL-Benoit Thrun-Myers Stolarz/Woll I think once Domi goes into the lineup, Järnkrok goes down and Robertson comes out. ### Marlies lines (not complete without AHL contracted player) Nylander-Haymes-Boyd Cowan-Quillan-Lettieri Barbolini-Groulx-Tverberg Sim, Holinka, Valis Rifai-Danford Prokop-Mermis Chadwick-Benning Webber-Villeneuve Hildeby Akhtyamov Brigs will/won't like seeing this. > Lines in Group A: > > Bump - Zegras - Konecny > Grebenkin - Couturier - Michkov > Pederson - Nesbitt - Hathaway > Abols - Gaucher - Kaplan > > (Not sure if Abols or Gaucher is the C on that line.) > > — Charlie O'Connor (@charlieo\_conn) [September 18, 2025](https://twitter.com/charlieo%5Fconn/status/1968690177011773755?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)
