2006–07 Toronto Maple Leafs season

The Toronto Maple Leafs 2006-07 Season saw the team attempting to recover from a 2005-06 season in which it finished two points out of the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. This marked the first time since the Maple Leafs joined the Eastern Conference in the 1998-99 season that the team did not make the playoffs.

Michael Peca was the prize addition to the team for 2006-07, signed from the defending Western Conference champion Edmonton Oilers. Peca went down with a broken leg in December, however, after recording just four goals in 35 games.

Goaltender Andrew Raycroft was acquired in a trade from the Boston Bruins, to take over the starting job vacated by Ed Belfour's departure to the Florida Panthers.
