We’ll start with a couple of bits of sad news: Borje played 1099 regular season games with the Toronto Maple Leafs, placing him 3rd in games played for the franchise behind George Armstrong and Tim Horton. He’s the only non-Canadian to play over 1000 regular season games for the club and the only non-Canadian in … Read more
This is a terrific signing. Now the rest of the blueline has to be figured out. My hope is that we see more of this in the summer. Hometown discount indeed. Giordano played in 75 games last season, split between the Seattle Kraken and Toronto Maple Leafs, in chich he produced 8 goals and 35 … Read more

The Wayne Simmonds that start this season with the Toronto Maple Leafs would be a STEAL of a player at 900K per season. … Read more
Jason Spezza signed a MASSIVE 1 year extension today, taking up a large percentage of the teams remaining cap space. It’s valued at $750,000. Spezza will enter his 3rd season with the Toronto Maple Leafs. He has suited up in 112 regular season games for the Leafs over the past 2 years, recording 19 goals … Read more

While most of the deals were made yesterday, the Leafs kept a couple of small deals in the chamber until today just to keep us all interested. Ben Hutton is a Leaf and Alex Barabanov’s brief stint with the Leafs organization … Read more
