3 Hidden Gems the Maple Leafs Should Consider Drafting

3 Hidden Gems the Maple Leafs Should Consider Drafting

September 30th, 2020 With the Stanley Cup having been awarded to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Monday night, the league now looks ahead to its next big date: next week's NHL Entry Draft starting on Oct. 6. In what is considered to be one of the deepest drafts in recent history, there will be plenty of opportunities for teams to find big-league talent after the...

Maple Leafs: Trading Dermott Now Would Be a Costly Mistake

September 27th, 2020 After failing to make the round of 16 for the first time since 2016, it's clear that the Toronto Maple Leafs are determined to shake things up this offseason. The first shoe already dropped with speedy winger Kasperi Kapanen shipped off to the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for a bag of goodies, and there's no doubt that more moves are...

Maple Leafs: Pietrangelo Is a Want, Not a Need

September 23rd, 2020 Seems like déjà vu, doesn't it? Just two years ago, New York Islanders captain John Tavares made an unprecedented move, leaving the team that drafted him in favor of his hometown Toronto Maple Leafs. In a league where superstars hardly ever switch teams, especially via free agency, the news sent shockwaves through the hockey world...

The Maple Leafs Need Grit, but Simmonds Isn't the Answer

September 11th, 2020 It seems like every prominent NHLer from the Greater Toronto Area is linked to the Maple Leafs at one point or another. Steven Stamkos was reportedly close to signing with the blue and white back in 2016, John Tavares actually did come home as a free agent in 2018, Jason Spezza followed suit in 2019, and rumours of P.K. Subban to...

Maple Leafs Are Right to Explore Life After Andersen

August 31st, 2020 Following last week's blockbuster trade that saw Kasperi Kapanen shipped off to the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for a bunch of goodies, it's clear that the Toronto Maple Leafs are officially open for business. And after an unceremonious qualifying-round loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets, it's no surprise that general manager Kyle...

Maple Leafs Hit a Home Run With Kapanen Trade

August 26th, 2020 Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Kyle Dubas wasted no time in getting back to work after another disappointing end to the season. A little more than two weeks after the Maple Leafs' Game 5 qualifying-round loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets, the team announced a six-piece blockbuster trade with the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday...

Muzzin Injury Raises Questions for Maple Leafs' Defence

August 6th, 2020 The Toronto Maple Leafs delivered perhaps their best performance of the season on Tuesday afternoon with a dominating 3-0 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets. Any reason to celebrate, though, was overshadowed by an apparent neck injury to defenceman Jake Muzzin, who was stretchered off the ice late in the third...
How Can the Maple Leafs Crack Blue Jackets in Game 2?

How Can the Maple Leafs Crack Blue Jackets in Game 2?

August 4th, 2020 With a 2-0 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Sunday night, it goes without saying that Game 1 did not go according to plan for the Toronto Maple Leafs. A low-scoring, low-event, tight-checking game is exactly what John Tortorella and the Blue Jackets drew up, and the Maple Leafs seemed to fall right into the trap. Related: Maple...
