Tinus Luc Koblar Signs Three-Year Deal With Maple Leafs

tinus luc koblar signed a three-year entry-level contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs on Monday, giving the club its 64th overall pick from the 2025 NHL Draft on a deal that runs through his early development years. The 18-year-old forward arrives after a strong international stretch and a season in Sweden.

Maple Leafs Lock In Koblar

The move secures Koblar after Toronto used the 64th pick on him in the 2025 NHL Draft. He is a native of Kranj, Slovenia, and represents Norway internationally, a mix that made his path to the contract a little less direct than a typical draft-to-sign sequence.

Toronto’s decision follows a season in which he played 47 games for Leksands IF of the Swedish Hockey League. He posted eight goals and six assists there, then added a sharper finish at the international level when his role grew for Norway.

World Championship Production

Koblar appeared in 10 games at last month’s IIHF World Championship and scored three goals with six assists. Norway left with a bronze medal, and his numbers there stood out against the steady production he showed in league play.

He also appeared at the 2026 World Junior Championships, where he scored five goals and added five assists in five games. That run gave Toronto a cleaner read on the forward’s scoring touch before Monday’s signing.

Toronto’s Young Forward Group

The contract gives the Maple Leafs another young forward under control after a year that combined 47 SHL games, a bronze-medal tournament and draft pedigree. For Koblar, the signing turns the draft selection into an NHL contract and puts him on Toronto’s path after two productive international events and a full season overseas.

His next step is no longer about being a draft name. It is about carrying the production from Leksands IF, Norway’s bronze-medal run and the World Junior scoring burst into the Maple Leafs system.
