No, this isn’t an in depth article about what happened this season with the Leafs. Nor is it one that stretches back over the years, which appears to be a trend among the Leafs Nation media at the moment. I could write one of those, I guess, to keep up with the Jones’. A fantastic … Read more
It’s now July 3rd and if I were a betting man there will be little to report about the Leafs moving forward. Maybe we’ll see another signing or two (or more), it’s not out of the question, but I can’t tell you that I believe there is much out there that could really help the … Read more
The Leafs jumped into the free agent pool looking for defenders yesterday and they didn’t come up empty handed. Chris Tanev Everybody knows exactly what the Leafs are getting in Tanev. He’s a character player, a great locker room presence, a warrior on the ice that will block shots with reckless abandon and he just … Read more
First, we’ll start with a couple of signings from yesterday. The first has little to discuss: Max Domi signed a 4 year extension with a $3.75M AAV. For a player that scored 47pts with the Leafs last year, as well as 56pts the season before, I think thats good value. If he can continue to … Read more
I have to say, Friday night was a good night. Not just because of what the Leafs managed to do with their pick at #31, which was drafting Ben Danford: We all have the scouting report on Danford by now: Shot blocking machine, physical player that never quits, a leader in the room and on … Read more
The Leafs made the decision to trade back from their first round selection, #23 overall, to garner more picks in this years draft. They trade pick #23 to the Anaheim Ducks, for #31 and #58 in this year draft. Considering the fact that they didn’t have a 2nd or 3rd round selection this year, nor … Read more
A few things have already happened leading up to the draft: You have to assume that this takes Saros off the market, which means the Leafs’ goalie options via trade are shrinking fast. Darcy Kuemper returned to LA in a deal that saw the Washington Capitals obtain Pierre-Luc Dubois, while Jacob Markstrom has already been … Read more
We’ll start this off with some sad news, as we learned of the passing of Sergei Berezin yesterday: I can’t say that I have a ton of memories of Berezin playing for the Leafs specifically. At that time in my life I wasn’t watching a ton of hockey, but I do remember those teams and … Read more
We’re just 2 days away from the NHL Entry Draft, which means we’re just 2 days from finding out that even if I wrote 40 of these I’d somehow still not have covered the player the Leafs are going to pick, because my entire life is Leafy. We’ll strike another name off the list though, … Read more
The Stanley Cup was awarded to the Florida Panthers last night. I guess I should start this off by saying Fuck You to the Florida Panthers….. or congrats, or whatever. It’s pretty sad when you’re simply wanting your team to have the ability to get to the 2nd or 3rd round regularly, so I’m bitter, … Read more
