You know it’s free agency season when you have Bob McKenzie stepping away from the lake to chase down rumours about a player with 26 NHL games to his name. Nevertheless, Michael Bunting has been a favourite free agency target of the writers on this site, and Leafs nation at large so news like this…
Here we are in the home stretch. So long old roster full of bad memories, hello new roster full of… well… pretty much the same guys, but a few new role players and a fancy new 1B goaltender. Still, with change comes hope, and right now Leafs fans need hope almost as much as they…
In the past few seasons the qualifying offer deadline has become an increasingly important day heading into free agency. The tougher guidelines around arbitration has forced some tough decisions on cash strapped or cap tight teams, and produced some of the most intriguing names in free agency. Today might be the best haul of unqualified…
In a two week window filled with interesting events, restricted free agent qualifying day might not be the sexiest. It is underrated fun though, especially when most of the RFAs of significance have already been sorted out. Travis Dermott was signed pre-expansion draft so the Leafs had the opportunity to protect four defensemen and leave…
Kyle Dubas has identified finding a goaltender as his top need in the offseason. That need has then been re-identified by everyone who covers the Leafs. Who am I to say it’s wrong? (It’s kinda wrong, but also kinda right.) Of course the Leafs won’t be alone in their search for goaltending, with Frank Seravalli…
Not the blockbuster you would have hoped for, but it’s something resembling Leafs news today… TRADE To Toronto Maple Leafs #LeafsForever Future Considerations To Boston Bruins #NHLBruins D James Greenway (Signing Rights)https://t.co/6YFJlipItk — CapFriendly (@CapFriendly) July 26, 2021 James Greenway is an unsigned NCAA free agent who’s rights are about to expire on August 15th….
This post is born of a somewhat regular conversation I seem to be having with other Leafs and with other hockey fans, and that’s how do you feel about Kyle Dubas? I don’t think it’s something that’s a straight forward answer for me, or a lot of Leafs fans at this point, so as we…
On the surface Sunday is a day of rest. No drafts, No roster freezes or unfreezes, and free agency is still a few days away. In fact you could incorrectly interpret the next three days as potentially slower ones leading up to the opening of free agency. That’s probably not the case at all and…
Ken Holland gives master classes on bad decisions so we shouldn’t be too surprised about his decision today to choose to pay Zach Hyman more over a 7 year term instead of making a deal with the Leafs for a sign and trade today. Looking like the Oilers are going to wait and sign Zach…
It’s Draft Day!!! Woooooooooo. A magical night where anything seems possible, except for the Leafs doing anything. With Kyle Dubas’ repeated vocal support for the top of his roster, there is absolutely no chance that the Leafs find their way stumbling into the first round. At best they might do something that sets them up…
Up until now we’ve done a lot of sugar coating of it, but the reality of the situation is the Leafs only having three picks heading into the entry draft is a mess. While the Leafs still have some decent prospects in their organization, there’s also no questioning the depth isn’t there like it used…
As a Leafs fan based in Edmonton, I’m excited about my potential new neighbour. Maybe Zach and I can go for donairs or check out an Elks game. Who knows. Anyway, if you haven’t guessed by now, Hyman is almost certainly Edmonton bound, and likely to spend the next few years reaping the benefits of…
