This represents the highest number of returning players as we look to build on the positives from this past season," Toronto GM Tim Bezbatchenko said in a statement. "We have a strong core group of players that have gained valuable experience over the course of the season. We will use the offseason to add to our group and continue towards our goal of becoming consistent contenders."
