SEPTEMBER 30 • Associated Press

Recovering from knee surgery General manager John Chayka said Wednesday that Villeneuve is recovering from knee surgery, Lance Hornby of The Toronto Sun reports.

Impact It's not clear when Villeneuve underwent his procedure, and a timetable for his return hasn't yet been revealed. Assuming he misses at least a portion of training camp, it seems likely that the 24-year-old will be left off the Maple Leafs' Opening Night roster, and he'll likely suit up for AHL Toronto once he's deemed healthy.

SEPTEMBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Signs two-way deal Villeneuve signed a two-year, two-way contract with the Maple Leafs on Wednesday, per PuckPedia.

Impact Villeneuve had 30 points in 61 regular-season outings for AHL Toronto in 2025-26. He also logged three appearances with the Maple Leafs late in the campaign. The 24-year-old defenseman will likely spend most of 2026-27 in the AHL again, though he could push for a depth role during training camp.

JULY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Posts trio of assists Villeneuve notched three assists in AHL Toronto's 5-4 overtime win over Chicago in Game 2 of the Calder Cup Finals on Sunday.

Impact Villeneuve has been excellent from the blue line this postseason with two goals and 17 assists over 21 appearances. He's added 34 shots on net, 34 PIM and a plus-2 rating. Villeneuve made three NHL appearances at the tail end of the season, so he may be ready to compete for a spot with the big club on a full-time basis in 2026-27.

JUNE 14 • ROTOWIRE

Collects three helpers in AHL win Villeneuve recorded three assists in AHL Toronto's 6-2 win over Laval in Game 2 on Friday.

Impact Villeneuve has five points over five playoff outings. He took a slight step back with 30 points across 61 regular-season contests for the Marlies this season. Villeneuve also made three appearances late in the NHL campaign, logging two shots on net and five blocked shots. The 24-year-old defenseman is set to be a restricted free agent this offseason.

MAY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Sent down to minors Villeneuve was returned to AHL Toronto on Friday.

Impact Villeneuve saw action in just three NHL games this year in which he recorded five blocks, two shots and one hit while averaging 17:20 of ice time. In the minors this year, the 24-year-old defenseman has been significantly more productive, racking up 29 points in 59 contests.
