I’m reading it all wrong. It’s lost in tone or translation. From where I’m sitting I simply can’t get the narrative correctly in my head, either way. The Toronto Maple Leafs approached Mitch Marner and told him, “Our first priority is to sign you, but there’s a trade being offered that could land us Mikko … Read more
Yes, we’re all excited about the playoffs and the entertainment that those 7 games bring to Leafs Nation each year, but for a moment I thought it would be fun to take a short look at what the Leafs have to look forward to in terms of capspace and change this summer. So let’s get … Read more
Brad Treliving just entertained us with the biggest deadline day of his GM career, Toronto and Calgary combined. The team entered headed towards the deadline with 2 very clear roster needs. A 3rd line centre and at least a 3rd pair right-shot defender. Most, myself included, argued that an additional top 4 RD would be … Read more
As the deadline to make deals draws near rumours are flying. Most, we can be assured, are nowhere near the truth, but we’ll talk about them for entertainment sake. Tampa Bay and Florida have both made fairly big swings already, which has a ton of people begging the Leafs to do the same in order … Read more
We’ll keep rolling along with centre trade targets until Brad Treliving decides to get off his keister and make a move. This time we’ll turn our attention toward the New York Islanders and Jean Gabriel Pageau. I’d like to point out that most (or all) of these profiles are going to read a lot a … Read more

As we continue to inch toward trade deadline day, rumours are slowly starting to circulate regarding the cost and availability of players around the NHL. For example, Darren Dreger stated that the cost for Brayden Schenn, who was the subject of our previous Trade Deadline Target piece, is said to be one of Easton Cowan … Read more
Last night Darren Dreger stated that the Toronto Maple Leafs have interest in bringing Brayden Schenn into the organization. This should come as no surprise to anybody in Leafs Nation. For starters, Craig Berube was still head coach of the St. Louis Blues when Schenn was named their captain to start the 2023-24 season. Berube … Read more
I haven’t written anything about the 4 Nations Face Off, but my opinion is likely in line with the majority, so I’ll keep it as short as possible. It was great to see Mitch Marner get the opportunity to play alongside the best player in the world, Connor McDavid, as well as the best players … Read more
It appears that Calle Jarnkrok, who hasn’t played this year due to having surgery to repair a sports hernia, will be back soon. He practiced with the team this week, which makes the idea of keeping him off the roster for another 27 games a tough task. This is something that a lot of fans … Read more
