We have reached the fourth of July weekend, and still, not much doing from the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Get used to it. Doesn’t sound like anything’s coming down the pike either.

Jay Rosehill was back in the mix for the Friday edition of Leafs Morning Take. We kicked off the show by Rosey breaking down the fight at Leafs development camp on Thursday between Matthew Hlacar and Rhett Parsons. The black and blue Maple Leafs are back, baby. Furthermore, Hayley Wickenheiser disclosed to the media that the Leafs will be bringing in a horse trainer and a wild colt for an exercise for prospects in managing emotions and handling pressure in tricky situations. Fascinating. That’s one way to horse around. Ha.

After that, we broke down the two latest signings in the NHL. Nikolaj Ehlers, who the Leafs were loosely attached to, went to Carolina on a six-year deal worth $8.5 million per season and Dmitry Orlov signed a two year deal in San Jose. Two more names off the board. From a Toronto perspective, there’s probably only a few unrestricted restricted free agents left that make a big of sense. Jack Roslovic, Victor Olofsson, and Max Pacioretty are the names that stand out for us.

Brought to you by Charm Diamond Centres, David Alter, Leafs reporter for The Hockey News, joined us to touch on development camp and Toronto’s start to the offseason. We hit on the prospect fight, Marner’s departure, Brad Treliving’s ongoing pursuit for a top-six forward, Bryan Rust, Pontus Holmberg’s exit, and Anthony Stolarz.

To wrap, we just quickly discussed Anthony Stolarz. The window is only a few days old, but we’re told that the Leafs and the American netminder haven’t engaged in contract talks just yet. Obviously, that will change in the coming days. Right now, the Leafs are very focused on finding a top six forward.

Carter Hutton will be in for Jay Rosehill on the Monday edition of Leafs Morning Take. Join us at 11 AM ET as we sift through the latest news and notes surrounding the Maple Leafs. Have a great weekend!
