Out with the old, in with the new—it’s something the Maple Leafs are constantly looking at doing. But does it make sense for the upcoming draft this summer? Toronto is, for the foreseeable future, in a window of Stanley Cup contention (or first-round win contention). It’s always wise in this timeframe to take a step…
You can do it for the money or you can do it for the value. Choose your option. The Maple Leafs have two options in the coming weeks — trade for or sign Philippe Myers when he eventually gets bought out from another team. When Toronto acquired the 25-year-old in an AHL loan from Nashville,…
With the NHL draft and free agency inching closer and closer, does a trade from the Maple Leafs become more imminent? On Thursday, DailyFaceoff’s Frank Seravalli released his Trade Targets list which named 25 players who could be on the block heading into the summer. One of the names on the list that was a…
The Maple Leafs have three picks in this year’s draft and they better make them count. With the lack of draft capital throughout the last year, Toronto has had to make every pick like it’s their last. Securing Matthew Knies in the second round looked like a steal and drafting Ty Voit in the fifth…
As the Maple Leafs’ season progressed last year, the more it felt like Toronto needed a much better left side. This isn’t a new problem either. Toronto has always had a more favourable right side with Mitch Marner and William Nylander in the top-six. On the left — it was Zach Hyman last year and…
The goaltending market this summer is thin and that’s incredibly clear, but could the Maple Leafs hit the jackpot on one signing if they need to? Looking at Toronto’s scenario in goal, there’s four situations that could play out. Let Jack Campbell walk, keep Petr Mrazek, and sign a netminder. Re-sign Campbell, trade or buyout…
With a number of goalies already signed for next season, the Marlies wanted to bring in likely just one more. Meet Luke Cavallin. 🖊 News | We’ve signed goaltender Luke Cavallin to a two-year AHL contract.#ForeverStartsHere — Toronto Marlies (@TorontoMarlies) June 6, 2022 The 21-year-old netminder signed a two-year AHL deal with the Marlies which…
One of the Maple Leafs’ many challenges this off-season will be getting Ondrej Kase back under contract for next year. The 26-year-old had a successful season to say the least, scoring 27 points in 50 games played while bouncing between the Maple Leafs’ second and third lines. The unfortunate part was that Kase had yet…
We’ve all seen the clip of Maple Leafs forward William Nylander going into the corner with Lightning defenceman Erik Cernak and not going in for a hit. And if you haven’t, well, here it is. William Nylander: soft pic.twitter.com/HyXGQEQ3o3 — Ryan Gilbert (@RGilbertSOP) May 9, 2022 Many were upset about this because a few weeks…
Looking at the number of signings the Maple Leafs could make this off-season, there’s a lot of interesting ways this summer could go. If Toronto wanted to, they could move on from Jake Muzzin and Petr Mrazek to create a considerable amount of cap space. While a chunk of it might go to a goaltender…
The Maple Leafs have an interesting future with goaltending and we’re going to try to get to the bottom of it. While everyone discusses the possibility of Jack Campbell returning and whether or not Toronto will move on from Petr Mrazek, the bigger mystery is their prospects. At the moment, the Maple Leafs have a…
Can and should the Maple Leafs move on from Justin Holl this summer? Nobody can see into the future, not even GM Kyle Dubas. But when they signed the now 30-year-old defenceman, it wasn’t clear where both Rasmus Sandin and Timothy Liljegren would be in their development. Usually when a trade article like this is…
