Kraken's Bobby McMann: Stays hot despite shootout loss
Rotowire
McCann recorded a goal and an assist in Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Sabres.
McCann participated in the build-up of Chandler Stephenson's goal in the first period, and he later doubled Seattle's lead in the second frame. It wouldn't be a stretch to consider McCann one of the hottest forwards in the NHL of late, as this goal means he's now found the back of the net seven times in his last eight games, including the last three in a row. Since making his Kraken debut on March 14, McCann has posted seven goals, four assists, 23 shots and 17 hits across eight outings.

It's McMann's sixth goal in seven games (three assists; 20 shots) as a member of the Kraken and his 25th of the season. Two of the goals have come on the power play. McMann is a great fantasy play right now, and his success on the left coast will bolster his case for a solid raise in his new contract.

McMann did his damage in the third period, scoring midway through the frame before setting up Jamie Oleksiak on a play at the top of the crease a few minutes later. If there was any doubt about McMann's fit with the Kraken, he has dispelled it quickly with five points over his first two games wearing the tentacled S. For the season, the winger has 22 goals, 15 assists, six power-play points, 133 shots on net, 141 hits and a minus-1 rating over 62 appearances between Seattle and Toronto.

Kraken's Bobby McMann: Stellar in team debut
Rotowire
McMann scored twice on four shots, added an assist and logged four hits in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.
This was McMann's first action since March 2 with the Maple Leafs, as he was scratched twice before the trade deadline and then had to sit out three more games waiting for his visa paperwork to be completed. The 29-year-old slotted onto the top line and also worked on the power play, which could boost his offense moving forward, though he did have an easy first matchup in a Kraken sweater. Through 61 contests this season, McMann has a career-best 21 goals and 35 points while adding 129 shots on net, 139 hits, 30 PIM and a minus-2 rating. The Kraken are in the playoff hunt, but McMann is also angling for a good contract in free agency, so the next few weeks will be important to see if his future could be in Seattle in the long run.

McMann was acquired by Seattle from Toronto on Friday, but it's taking him longer than expected to go through the visa process. Head coach Lane Lambert described the situation as "extremely disappointing." McMann had 19 goals and 32 points in 60 outings with the Maple Leafs before the trade.

Kraken's Bobby McMann: Unavailable Tuesday
Rotowire
McMann (not injury related) is still working through the visa process and won't be an option against Nashville on Tuesday, Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network reports.
McMann will miss his fourth straight game between his move to Seattle and having been held out by the Leafs prior to that. Once cleared to play, McMann should slot into a top-six role. He needs just two more goals to set a new personal best and top last season's 20 tallies.

Kraken's Bobby McMann: Not expected to play Saturday
Rotowire
McMann (immigration) isn't expected to be with the Kraken for Saturday's game versus the Senators, Alison Lukan of the Kraken Hockey Network reports.
It will take a few days for McMann's visa paperwork to get approved so that he can join the Kraken. The 29-year-old's status beyond Saturday has not yet been determined. The Kraken will be fine for Saturday, as they already have a full complement of healthy forwards on the roster.

Rotowire
Seattle obtained McMann (not injury related) from Toronto on Friday in exchange for a 2027 second-round pick and a 2026 fourth-round selection, according to Pierre LeBrun of TSN.
McMann has generated 19 goals, 32 points, 125 shots on net and 135 hits in 60 appearances this season. He sat out two straight games before Friday's trade deadline for roster-management reasons. Once his immigration paperwork is in order, McMann could occupy a middle- or bottom-six role for the Kraken.

Maple Leafs' Bobby McMann: Won't play Wednesday
Rotowire
McMann will be held out for Wednesday's game against New Jersey due to roster management purposes.
McMann is one of several players who will sit out Wednesday's game for the Maple Leafs ahead of Friday's trade deadline. Reports ahead of the Olympic break suggested that the Oilers were interested in McMann and that Toronto was seeking a first-round pick. However, it's not yet clear whether a trade partner will ultimately materialize in the hours leading up to the deadline. It wouldn't be surprising to see McMann also sit out Thursday's matchup against the Rangers if he remains on the Toronto roster until then.

Maple Leafs' Bobby McMann: Deposits empty-netter
Rotowire
McMann scored an empty-net goal and added two hits in Monday's 4-2 win over the Flames.
McMann has gotten on the scoresheet in five of the last six games, totaling three goals and three helpers in that span. He put the cherry on top of Monday's win in Calgary.

Maple Leafs' Bobby McMann: Pots goal Monday
Rotowire
McMann scored a goal on six shots and added two PIM in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over the Avalanche.
McMann has slipped back into a fourth-line role, though he still saw 18:06 of ice time after Nicholas Robertson (lower body) exited early. The 29-year-old McMann's versatility is a gift and a curse -- he can play all over the lineup, but there's no top-six spot for him when the team is mostly healthy. He's on a heater with six goals and 10 points over his last 12 outings, giving him 14 goals, 24 points, 90 shots on net, 94 hits, 30 PIM and a plus-5 rating over 44 contests this season.

Rotowire
McMann had a goal and an assist in a 4-0 win over New Jersey on Tuesday.
McMann's power-play goal stood as the winner. He has four goals, two assists and 20 shots in his last six games, and 22 points, including 13 goals, and 75 shots in 38 games overall. With a bit of luck, McMann could make a charge at 30 goals this season, including a few on the power play, and that's the hardest category to get in fantasy.

Rotowire
McMann scored twice Thursday in a 5-1 win over Carolina.
McMann scored on the Leafs' first shot of the game at 0:53 of the first period. He fired a short snapshot from the slot that hit the post, bounced off Frederik Andersen and trickled over the line. He added an empty net goal for good measure. It's McMann's third consecutive two-point game (three goals, three assists; seven shots). He's a valuable daily play in the short term.

Rotowire
McMann scored a goal Thursday in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Kings.
McMann stole back the puck after he had turned it over to Adrian Kempe in the defensive zone, and he took off on a breakaway. His shot caught a piece of Darcy Kuemper's right pad before it trickled over the goal line to put the Leafs up 1-0 at 8:06 of the first frame. McMann has a goal in each of his last two games, and he has five points, including three goals in his last six contests. It's a nice bump for the winger, who had just three points in his first 12 contests.

The 29-year-old forward is up to four goals, seven points, 25 shots on net, 46 hits, 15 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 17 appearances. A second-line role seems to be suiting him well, which makes McMann an interesting depth forward for fantasy managers.

Rotowire
McMann scored a goal on four shots and added two hits in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Predators.
McMann has found the scoresheet in three of Toronto's first four games, earning two goals and an assist. He's added 10 shots on net, 14 hits, five blocked shots and a plus-2 rating. McMann often begins games on the third line but occasionally sees shifts higher in the lineup.

Maple Leafs' Bobby McMann: Lights lamp in opener
Rotowire
McMann scored a goal and added four hits in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Canadiens.
McMann could have more fantasy appeal this season if he sticks on the second line with John Tavares and William Nylander, who both assisted on his goal one minute into the game. The 29-year-old McMann had promising stretches last year that correlated with his promotion into a top-six role, allowing him to finish the regular season with 20 goals and 34 points in 74 outings. He also shot 11.8 percent -- while a little high overall, it was a lower rate than in 2023-24, when he shot 12.7 percent over 56 games. McMann could push for something closer to the 40-45 point range while still adding plenty of hits and a few PIM in 2025-26.
