The 2027 3rd round pick can become a 2029 2nd round pick if the Maple Leafs make the playoffs and Maccelli records at least 51 points during the 2025-26 season. Maccelli had a down-year in 2024-25, but in the two years prior to that he averaged 16 goals and 44 assists (60 points) per 82 games. With Mitch Marner likely on his way out, Maccelli should provide some of the playmaking from the wing that their top-6 is losing.

Nick Bjugstad will draw back into Utah's lineup on Thursday against the Tampa Bay Lightning, sending Maccelli to the sidelines as a healthy scratch. The 24-year-old Maccelli is averaging 13:44 time-on-ice and has 18 points (8G / 10A) in 55 games this season. He had 57 points (17G / 40A) in 82 games last season.
