The Toronto Maple Leafs should be in sell mode at the trade deadline for the first time in a decade.  That much is clear, and I don’t think anybody would argue otherwise at this point. Sitting eight points back of a playoff spot while every division rival seemingly wins every game, coupled with the team’s […] The post What does “selling” look like for the Maple Leafs?

Maple Leafs' Morgan Rielly leaves game with upper-body injury

The Toronto Maple Leafs have been bothered by the injury bug all season long, and their woes continued on Saturday night in Vancouver, as defenceman Morgan Rielly left the game due to an upper-body injury.

Jake McCabe, Oliver Ekman-Larsson and Troy Stecher ended up picking up the slack and played a ton down ...

Maple Leafs Trade Rumors: Dennis Hildeby Linked to Metropolitan Club

The Toronto Maple Leafs are toast. They're going to start selling, according to at least one report . And while names like Bobby McMann, Scott Laughton and Morgan Rielly will be getting a lot of buzz, the real (only?) strength of the team at this point is goaltending.  And of the threesome of Joseph Woll, Anthony Stolarz and young Dennis Hildeby, it might be the latter that has the most trade value around the league.  In Philadelphia, the Flyers have given up 18 goals in their last f...

Bedard Benchmarks, History for Kane, the Levshunov Experience, and Other Blackhawks Bullets

I’m old enough to remember when a matchup between Connor Bedard and Adam Fantilli was top shelf marketing material. Maybe it still should be. The first and third overall picks in the 2023 NHL Draft , Bedard and Fantilli are two of the three players from their draft class to have already eclipsed 100 career points. And, while Anaheim’s Leo Carlsson (the second overall pick) is getting more league-wide talk than Fantilli at this point, the Columbus center (and Michigan product) has actually scor...
