By now we’re all fully aware that Nicholas Robertson has asked to leave the Toronto Maple Leafs’ organization, as he is looking for a fresh start somewhere else: While it also appears that GM Brad Treliving would prefer to keep Robertson in the fold, as he has stated that they’re hoping he reconsiders his stance … Read more
The AHL is a different beast than the NHL. It’s a development league, in essence. Yes, there are players that make a career out of riding the bus in the minors, but the vast majority that find themselves pulling on a jersey in the AHL have aspirations of making the NHL. It’s for this reason … Read more
All I can say is that this was inevitable. When John Tavares was named captain of the Leafs, Auston “Underpants” Matthews had found himself in some hot water due to an incident in which he mooned a security guard, but not really because he only pulled down his pants but not his drawers? Either way, … Read more
I was given the topic of doing a roster analysis, but I can promise you it won’t be the result you want to hear, because what we all want to hear is that this team is a contender. That simply isn’t true. The Toronto Maple Leafs made another 1st round exit this season and I’ll … Read more
We’re 59 days away from the start of the 2024/25 preseason, which seems like a long time but, due to those days being in the summer, they’ll go by far too fast. Before you know it you’ll be shoveling snow and cursing on Mitch Marner as he does pirouettes around the ice again. So, with … Read more

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
