<p>What goes hand and hand with a summer beach day?</p>
<p>Listening to Leafs Morning Take, of course.</p>
<p>We returned to the mix on Tuesday to discuss some of the latest stories regarding the Toronto Maple Leafs. I won’t lie, it’s been very quiet, but at the very least, it’s fun to share some summer stories with my co-host Jay Rosehill. You never know what’s going to come out of his mouth.</p>
<p>Did anyone catch the Nolan Dillingham hit on Roni Hirvonen from over the weekend at Leafs Development Camp. My goodness. From the moment I saw that, I looked forward to getting Rosey’s take on the hit and the situation. I get the outrage, but at the end of the day, last time I checked, hitting still has a place in hockey. Hope Hirvonen’s okay.</p>
<p>After that, the conversation shifted to the crease. Indisputably, the next key date on Toronto’s offseason calendar is July 21. That’s when Ilya Samsonov’s arbitration hearing is set to take place. That said, it doesn’t sound like it will get there. I almost wonder if Samsonov filing for arbitration was more of a favour to the Leafs more than anything else. Of course, it triggered a second buy-out window for the Leafs to play with (Re. Matt Murray).</p>
