FWIW, #Marlies PR confirms that it's a one-year (AHL) deal for Baptiste. — Jacob Stoller…
Even if the return in the trade made a lot of sense, dealing Nazem Kadri – a cost-controlled top-six calibre centre who the Leafs were able to roll out on their third line – certainly wasn’t an easy thing for the Toronto Maple Leafs’ front office to do. Obviously, the Leafs needed to shore up…

The fact that Kyle Dubas was able to get Sheldon Keefe to sign on for another two seasons as the head coach of the AHL’s Toronto Marlies is a massive, albeit rather unheralded, win for the Toronto Maple Leafs organization. Having compiled a 189-87-28 record (.667 point percentage) and a Calder Cup over the last…
It’s really crazy to think just how drastically the perception of Garret Sparks has declined over the course of a calendar year.
