Sometimes a player’s importance to a hockey team can’t really be measured by goals and assists. Wendel Clark is a good example. If you looked only at statistics, there were…
The Toronto Maple Leafs brought in many new players this offseason, and it makes sense when noting how poorly their 2025-26 season went. Although they have multiple newcomers, it is still possible that they could invite a player to their training camp on a professional tryout (PTO) agreement.Due to this, the Maple Leafs are now […] The post Maple Leafs Urged to Sign Former Canadiens Forward to PTO appeared first on HEAVY .
As TLN continues to count down the top organizational prospects in the Toronto Maple Leafs’ system, it’s worth pausing to flag some players with extra incentive for big years. These players will see their rights expire at the end of 2026-27, and will either re-enter the draft, test the waters of free agency, or worse…

The Toronto Maple Leafs Zamboni driver, David Ayers , made a name for himself during the 2019-20 season. After the Carolina Hurricanes goalie James Reimer left the game due to an injury, and subsequently, Petr Mrazek would suffer a collision with Kyle Clifford, Ayers received a chance to change the course of the game. He'd step onto the ice midway into the second period and help deliver a win for the Carolina Hurricanes against the team he worked for. The Hurricanes won 6-3, in wha...
August is a funny month if you’re following the Toronto Maple Leafs. Unless there’s a huge surprise roaring down the tracks, the big moves have mostly been made, and the…
The Toronto Maple Leafs have had quite the offseason, as general manager John Chayka has been cooking since day one on the job. The Leafs have also had some serious luck go their way, with winning the Gavin McKenna sweepstakes, and now heading into Chayka's first season at the helm, the expectations have climbed significantly. Chayka loves to wheel and deal, perhaps more than any other GM in the league, and he's already pulled off some significant trades, moving Joseph Woll, Simon Benoit, Bran...

Stanley is the best defenceman left on the free-agent market, the only problem is, now he'll have to settle for someone less money wise, and term wise on his next contract. The big blueliner is coming off his best all around season, and despite a tr...
Injuries. They are going to happen. Probably at the worst time and to the player the Toronto Maple Leafs need the most. Call me pessimistic, but 2025-26’s disappearances of Auston Matthews, Chris Tanev, and Anthony Stolarz should have the team planning out their contingencies in advance. Enter the AHL veterans. Not quite “prospects” like TLN…
He finally did it.
I will fully admit that I am befuddled when it comes to what Rogers Communications is doing with its hockey broadcasts. Aside from raising prices to drive away subscribers and killing access to NHL hockey by eliminating CBC as a partner, their most recent decision to not renew Kelly Hrudey's contract seems to be another boneheaded decision from the TV network gatekeeping hockey in Canada. Hrudey worked Calgary Flames broadcasts on Sportsnet during the week before travelling to Toronto to jo...
