Gregor, who put up six goals and six assists in 63 games this season, has been a healthy scratch in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

EDGE Analysis

Gregor is an energy player with 241 NHL games under belt, but he hasn't dressed in a playoff game. With the Maple Leafs on the brink down 3-1 to the Bruins, Gregor's postseason debut may need to wait for another year. He's a free agent this summer, coming off a one-year, $775,000 AAV deal, and time will tell if he will be re-signed in Toronto.

Gregor (illness) returned to practice Wednesday and wore a regular jersey, per Terry Koshan of The Toronto Sun, which suggests he should be available Thursday versus the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Gregor didn't participate in Tuesday's 7-1 win over San Jose because of the illness. He has five goals, seven points, 13 PIM, 63 hits and 17 blocks in 37 outings in 2023-24. With Gregor expected back, Nick Robertson is likely to be a healthy scratch Thursday despite scoring a goal Tuesday.

Gregor (illness) won't play Tuesday against the Sharks, according to NHL.com's Dave McCarthy.

EDGE Analysis

Gregor will be replaced in the lineup by Nick Robertson. Coach Sheldon Keefe mentioned that a bug was going around the team, so consider Gregor day-to-day for now. The 25-year-old forward has seven points, 62 shots on goal and 63 hits in 37 games this season.

Gregor's ice time dropped to 9:03 Wednesday night in a 4-2 loss to the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

His ice time has been as high as 17:40 in the last couple weeks -- the last time he dropped below 10 minutes was Dec. 2. Gregor is one of the fastest players in the NHL, and he is versatile enough to play on any line and on the power play. He's a great fourth-line guy who gets boosted minutes when he's flashing his skills, but that doesn't result in loads of offense. Gregor has five goals and two assists in 32 games.

Gregor scored his third goal of the season and added the shootout winner in Tuesday's 2-1 victory over the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

He also chipped in three shots on net, a hit, a blocked shot and a plus-1 rating. Gregor tied the game midway through the second period, stealing the puck at the Toronto blue line for a clear breakaway on Anthony Stolarz that he converted by clanking the puck off the crossbar and into the net. The 25-year-old Gregor then beat Stolarz again in the sixth round of the shootout. Gregor's spot on a checking line for the Maple Leafs gives him little fantasy upside, but he has supplemented his offense with 35 hits and 35 shots through 20 games.

Gregor had a goal and an assist in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Gregor's goal stood as the winner. He put the Leafs up 3-2 at 14:22 of the second frame when he went high glove side from above the left face-off circle. Gregor scored on opening night, but had gone 13 games without a point. Nice night on the ice, but he's not going to contribute in fantasy.

Gregor scored a goal in Wednesday's 6-5 shootout win over the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

He fired four shots and laid two hits in 11:38 while playing on the Leafs fourth line. It was a nice start to Gregor's career in Toronto, but he doesn't profile as a fantasy play. He scored a career-best 10 goals last season and delivered a career-best 23 points in 2021-22.

Per Chris Johnston of TSN. Gregor agreed to a one-year contract worth $775,000 with Toronto on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Gregor earned a standard contract with the Maple Leafs after attending training camp with the team on a professional tryout. He didn't receive a qualifying offer from San Jose in June, which made the 25-year-old an unrestricted free agent this offseason. In 57 appearances with the Sharks in 2022-23, he chipped in 10 goals, 17 points, 119 shots on net and 97 hits. Gregor is expected to occupy a fourth-line role with Toronto this campaign.

Gregor, who is on a professional tryout contract, has impressed at Leafs camp and could break camp on the team's fourth line, reports The Athletic.

EDGE Analysis

Gregor is a speedy energy fourth-line player who impressed Monday alongside David Kampf and Ryan Reaves. He set up a power-play goal and hopped the boards with Kampf on PK1. Gregor's speed is his best attribute, and with it, he springs pucks and might bury 8-10 goals, even in limited ice. He has the inside line on the fourth-line gig because he's a winger -- it's the only spot open with Kampf sliding down to the fourth line because William Nylander is skating at center. That inside line doesn't make him fantasy worthy, but Gregor is a good story nonetheless.

Gregor signed a professional tryout agreement with Toronto on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Gregor had 10 goals and 17 points in 57 contests with the Sharks last season. He became an unrestricted free agent after San Jose declined to make him a qualifying offer. Gregor will compete for a bottom-six spot with the Maple Leafs.
