Last night, word has surfaced that Kapanen is close to reaching an extension with the Leafs, although we had no word as to what the contract looked like. Now, not only do we have more details, but we also have word on Johnsson getting close to an extension as well. First, the Bobfather revealed that…
The Leafs may be close to knocking one RFA off of their list this offseason. According to Sportsnet reporter Chris Johnston, the Leafs and Kasperi Kapanen are close to a contract extension. It sounds like Kasperi Kapanen and the #leafs are getting closer on an extension. — Chris Johnston (@reporterchris) June 21, 2019 Kapanen is…
Today is draft day, and there appears to be chatter… what else is new? This time, the Leafs appear to be talking with the Nashville Predators about right-shot defenseman PK Subban, according to Elliotte Friedman. Regardless of what you think about his “personality”, Subban has proven himself to be one of the best defensemen in…
Restricted free agents and offer sheets have been one of the big focal points of the upcoming offseason, with Mitch Marner and the Leafs being at the forefront of this topic. With Marner’s high asking price in his contract negotiations, and the Leafs oncoming cap crunch, the back and forth between the two parties has…
At least he finished off his year on a high note. After Finland upset Canada 3-1 in the 2019 IIHF World Championship in Slovakia, William Nylander was named to the tournament’s all-star team. Nylander, who won the tournament MVP two years ago leading Sweden to a gold medal, put on an even better show, putting…
With the Leafs season now over, we look ahead to the draft and free agency as the big events left on the Leafs schedule for the 2018-19 season. Now that the big three plus Tavares all have or will need their big contracts, the cap crunch is coming, and combine that with a disappointing playoff…
After a disappointing outing in the playoffs, many (including myself) we’re maybe calling for his job to be questioned. And with Edmonton’s recent hiring of Ken Holland, there was question that he might try and bring Babcock with him in a “parting of ways” scenario. Well, we finally have our answer. Mike Babcock will be…

It’s been almost two days since the Leafs were eliminated from the playoffs, and you know what, I’m not any happier about it. Why should I be? This was such a good year for the Leafs to go far, considering how deep their team was, but it was ruined. Whether you think it’s the guys…
Honestly, I don’t know where to start with this one, so let’s skip the boring intro and get right to it. This season was a waste, no doubt about it. This season began, and ended, on July 1st. We signed John Tavares, and then that’s it. We might as well had done nothing this year,…
Not even the excitement game seven hockey can sway Maple Leafs Sports & Entertainment to changing their traditions at Maple Leaf Square. MLSE announced earlier today that they will be broadcasting the Toronto Raptors Game 5 in their first round series against the Orlando Magic instead of Game 7 between the Leafs and the Bruins….
It’s hard to believe that 10 years ago, we were hard pressed for a decent goaltender to help us get to the playoffs. I love James Reimer as much as the next guy (probably more), but when he’s the best goalie that’s been between the Leafs pipes, that means you’ve had goalie problems. That’s why…
