Major update on Bobby McMann since his injury ahead of the Stanley Cup playoffs
A development in regards of Toronto Maple Leafs Forward Bobby McMann that will have important ramifications on the Leafs as they currently stand.
McMann, who was injured late in the Leafs regular season after suffering a lower-body injury, missed Toronto's playoff series against the Boston Bruins. A new report suggests there is positives for next season involving the Leafs Forward.
An analysis on McMann argues that the Leafs man, who was relied upon by former Head Coach Sheldon Keefe as a surprise top asset in the Leafs lineup, could share a similar fortune under incoming coach Craig Berube, who values the intelligent and physical style of game McMann brings to the ice.
An undrafted and largely ignored player through the early stages of his career, McMann's IQ and versatility caught the eyes of the Maple Leafs who called up McMann in the 2022-23 season, and a season later, McMann was relied upon as a key member of the Leafs lineup, even playing on the top-six only two years removed from playing ECHL games.
The consistent hard-working style of McMann could make him one of Berube's favorites. Another benefit in McMann's chances to get ahead in Toronto's lineup is the lack of additions at Forward, with Tyler Bertuzzi having left as a free agent for the Chicago Blackhawks. McMann, able to play both at center and on the wing, could end up a key contributor next season for the Toronto Maple Leafs.
McMann, 28, had 15 goals, 9 assists & 24 points in 56 games played for the Toronto Maple Leafs in the 2023-24 NHL season.
Bobby has recovered from his injury and is enjoying his summer before a breakout season ahead.
