| Sept. 16, 2026 | General manager John Chayka said Wednesday that Villeneuve is recovering from knee surgery, Lance Hornby of The Toronto Sun reports. - 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. | None |
| July 8, 2026 | Villeneuve signed a two-year, two-way contract with the Maple Leafs on Wednesday, per PuckPedia. - 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. | None |
| June 14, 2026 | Villeneuve notched three assists in AHL Toronto's 5-4 overtime win over Chicago in Game 2 of the Calder Cup Finals on Sunday. - 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. | None |
| May 1, 2026 | Villeneuve recorded three assists in AHL Toronto's 6-2 win over Laval in Game 2 on Friday. - 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. | None |
| April 17, 2026 | Villeneuve was returned to AHL Toronto on Friday. - 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. | None |
| April 8, 2026 | Villeneuve was sent down to AHL Toronto on Wednesday. - Villeneuve has yet to make his NHL debut, and it seems like he will have to wait at least a little longer. The move to return the 24-year-old blueliner to the minors would seem to indicate that Oliver Ekman-Larsson (lower body) will be good to go for Wednesday's matchup with the Capitals. | None |
| April 4, 2026 | Villeneuve was recalled from AHL Toronto on Saturday. - Villeneuve was called up on an emergency basis with Oliver Ekman-Larsson (lower body) ruled out for Saturday's clash. Across 58 games in the AHL this season, Villeneuve has three goals, 25 assists and 85 shots on net. While Toronto has six healthy defensemen on its roster, the young blueliner has a chance to make his NHL debut soon if Ekman-Larsson remains out for an extended period of time. | None |
| Feb. 20, 2026 | Villeneuve was returned to AHL Toronto on Friday. - Villeneuve was summoned to the Maple Leafs on Wednesday to practice with the big club. With the NHL taking a break for the Olympics, Villeneuve didn't have an opportunity to get into any game action during his short stint with the Leafs. | None |
| Feb. 18, 2026 | Villeneuve was called up by the Maple Leafs on Wednesday. - Toronto isn't scheduled to play until next Wednesday against Tampa Bay, but the Maple Leafs can practice in the meantime. Villeneuve should take part in those practices while Toronto is short-staffed due to the Olympics. However, Villeneuve doesn't have any NHL experience yet, and it wouldn't be surprising if he returns to the minors without making his debut during this current stint. | None |
| Oct. 3, 2025 | Villeneuve was placed on waivers by the Maple Leafs on Friday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports. - Villeneuve signed a two-way deal with the Maple Leafs in August, but he'll begin the 2025-26 regular season with AHL Toronto if he clears waivers. He recorded four goals, 36 assists and 42 PIM over 55 regular-season appearances with the Marlies last year. | None |
| Aug. 5, 2025 | Villeneuve agreed to terms on a one-year, two-way contract with Toronto on Tuesday. - Villeneuve increased his production with AHL Toronto in 2024-25 compared to his first two full seasons in the minors, posting four goals, 40 points and a plus-17 rating over 55 regular-season appearances. The 23-year-old will continue to provide organizational depth in 2025-26, as the Maple Leafs have a veteran-laden blue line, though he should have an opportunity to make the team out of training camp in the fall. | None |
