Maple Leafs Transactions

Bruins & Leafs Add Depth at Trade Deadline

Bruins & Leafs Add Depth at Trade Deadline

February 27th, 2018 Today was the last day that teams could make any trades until the playoffs are done, which means today was the last day the Toronto Maple Leafs could do anything about their roster that might potentially help them beat the Boston Bruins in (preferably) four consecutive...
The (Overwhelming) Case for Not Trading Auston Matthews

The (Overwhelming) Case for Not Trading Auston Matthews

January 18th, 2018 Last week, Rob Vollman of ESPN.com wrote a pretty provocative piece concerning the legitimacy of an Auston Matthews trade out of Toronto. When I read the headline, I probably thought what most Leafs fans thought: there's no way the Toronto Maple Leafs are trading...
Is Marleau Worth the Maple Leafs Moola?

Is Marleau Worth the Maple Leafs Moola?

July 5th, 2017 It's been years since the Toronto Maple Leafs went out and got a top sought-after player in free agency. With the Leafs back to being a playoff contending team, it also means that they will spend like one. So the Leafs went out and signed Patrick Marleau to a huge contract...
Marleau's Impact on the Leafs

Marleau's Impact on the Leafs

July 5th, 2017 The Toronto Maple Leafs are going for it. There's no denying that anymore. After making it to the playoffs and giving the Washington Capitals a real fight, the Leafs have used this offseason to improve even more in the next few years. The Leafs made several small moves...

Former Leafs Bernier, Phaneuf, Kessel Impacting Current Teams

June 2nd, 2017 Maple Leafs fans tuning into the Conference Finals saw some familiar faces. Once the scapegoats of Toronto's struggles and run out of town by fans and the media, Jonathan Bernier, Dion Phaneuf and Phil Kessel each made the Conference Finals with their new teams. Are they...
Zaitsev's Deal Good for the Leafs?

Zaitsev's Deal Good for the Leafs?

May 4th, 2017 When Nikita Zaitsev came over to the Toronto Maple Leafs from the KHL there were questions about how well he would perform. Where would he slot in on defense? How would he handle the transition to the North American style of hockey? And whether he would stay in the NHL...
New Leafs' Forward Miro Aaltonen

New Leafs' Forward Miro Aaltonen

March 17th, 2017 On Friday, the Toronto Maple Leafs announced to have reached an entry-level contract with Finnish forward Miro Aaltonen. A native of Joensuu, Finland, Aaltonen signed a 3-year deal with the Canadian team. He spent the 2016-17 campaign with Vityaz Moscow Region of the...
What Brian Boyle Brings to the Leafs

What Brian Boyle Brings to the Leafs

February 28th, 2017 Brian Boyle has gone from wearing blue and white to, well, the original blue and white. The Toronto Maple Leafs have picked up some depth at center with the acquisition of Boyle. After not expecting to be very busy at the Trade Deadline, it looks like Leafs management...
Claiming Marchenko Spells the End for Corrado

Claiming Marchenko Spells the End for Corrado

February 6th, 2017 The Toronto Maple Leafs have been very active on waivers this season. From sending down aging NHL veterans to claiming, waiving and re-claiming Seth Griffith. The Leafs have used waivers as a way to test out players that they believe could have potential or to grab a...
Leafs Need Help With Faceoffs

Leafs Need Help With Faceoffs

December 23rd, 2016 The Toronto Maple Leafs have begun to struggle on faceoffs after their top two faceoff-takers were injured. With Tyler Bozak and Ben Smith out of the lineup it's required the Leafs to look elsewhere for reliable faceoff-takers. In the game on Monday against the Anaheim...
Leafs Give Holland a Chance With Coyotes

Leafs Give Holland a Chance With Coyotes

December 13th, 2016 Peter Holland's time with the Toronto Maple Leafs has come to an end. Holland has been with the Leafs for four seasons after coming over in a trade with the Anaheim Ducks in 2013. Since then Holland has played in a variety of roles for the Leafs with significant time on...
Seth Griffith Never Got a Fair Shot

Seth Griffith Never Got a Fair Shot

November 15th, 2016 The Toronto Maple Leafs have done something interesting this season. They've set up their roster so that they have extra players on both offense and defense. This is great for a young team. It allows players to slowly transition to the NHL by alternating in and out of the...
Leafs' Puzzling Day of Waivers

Leafs' Puzzling Day of Waivers

October 25th, 2016 The Toronto Maple Leafs always seem to make surprising decisions when it comes to waivers and this Monday was no different. The Leafs started the day by putting Milan Michalek on waivers and finished it by claiming Ben Smith off...

Maple Leafs Lock up RFA's, Continue to Search for Backup

July 30th, 2016 The Toronto Maple Leafs have done some excellent work this summer. It started by drafting Auston Matthews, the big American pivot. He was subsequently signed to his three-year entry level with the maximum benefits package in tow. It was then time for the Maple Leafs...

Rebuilding Through the Draft: Two Rebuilds. Two Philosophies.
