Bobby McMann: our analysis

2025-26 season: 18 GP, 10 G, 4 A, 14 PTS, 0 +/-, 17:58 TOI. WAR 2.1 (66th of 615) · PAL 43, around average.

In 2025-26, Bobby McMann, 30, posts a PAL Rating of 43 out of 100 (around average), and his WAR of 2.1 ranks 66th among 615 regulars, in the top quarter.

His strengths: offense (73, above average), creation (69, above average) and shooting (69, above average). On the other hand, possession (11, among the weakest in the league) and discipline (24, well below average) hold him back.

Breaking down his WAR (goals above average), his biggest contribution: finishing (+7.9); his biggest cost: EV offense (-0.7).

A marked decline: his PAL was 58 in 2024-25, against 43 now; his WAR, though, went from 1.6 to 2.1.

Contract-wise, his Value score of 51 (fair value) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.

Bobby McMann's story

Growing up in Wainwright, Bobby McMann was on skates almost as soon as he could walk — he began skating at two. His path to higher levels ran through Alberta junior hockey, where he finished his junior career with the Bonnyville Pontiacs of the AJHL and earned the Pipeline AJHL Scholarship Award for leadership, sportsmanship and community commitment.

At age 20 McMann moved to Colgate University to combine studies and hockey with the Raiders in NCAA ECAC play. He spent four seasons in Hamilton, developing into a leader — serving as alternate captain before wearing the captain’s C in his final year — and drew attention with a Hobey Baker nomination and selection to the ECAC Third All-Star Team. Undrafted out of college, he also completed an academic programme majoring in economics with a minor in theatre and was a four-time ECAC Hockey All-Academic honouree.

Turning pro in 2020, McMann signed with the Toronto Marlies of the AHL. His rookie pro campaign was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and split between the Marlies and the Wichita Thunder of the ECHL: 17 points in 18 games in Wichita contrasted with four points in 21 games with Toronto while playing a bottom-six role. The following season, at 25, he broke out offensively with Toronto’s AHL club, scoring 24 goals to set a franchise single-season rookie record and earning a two-year entry-level deal with the parent club, the Toronto Maple Leafs.

McMann’s NHL debut came after a string of strong AHL performances: named AHL Player of the Week in early January 2023, he was recalled and skated in his first NHL game on 11 January 2023 against the Nashville Predators, becoming the first Maple Leafs player to wear number 74. He returned to the Marlies, then continued to alternate between levels while reaching milestones in the NHL: his first NHL point came in March 2023, he scored his first NHL goal on 16 December 2023, and recorded his first NHL hat-trick on 13 February 2024; Toronto signed him to a two-year extension on 13 March 2024.

Ahead of the 2026 trade deadline, McMann was moved to the Seattle Kraken for draft picks. Seattle missed the playoffs in the season’s closing stretch, but McMann contributed 10 goals and 14 points in his time with the Kraken. He is best described as a hardworking winger shaped by the university game, able to play depth minutes or step into more offensive roles when called upon.
