Defender Henry Thrun comes back.

The Maple Leafs have drafted a new baby giraffe.

It's like a seaside town that forgot to shut down around here.

Belle fits the theme that Toronto seemed to be going for in this year's draft when it comes to his size and his strength as a player, but there's a reason he was a fifth rounder.

How it works.

Hopkins was typically ranked a good chunk higher than where Toronto drafted him, making him a potential steal in the late third round.

Marlies signings, and a very affecting goodbye.

The Slovenian-born, Norwegian-raised giant playing in Sweden was a surprise pick, but could wind up being a pleasant surprise gem.

The news comes in drops, not waves now.

End of the Core Four and other Leafs activity.

A horse? Of course!

Now it's the other holiday, and we have a spelling test for you! Seriously.

It's not always a bad idea to skip the big shopping day.

It's truly a different team starting next season.

In addition to Pezzetta, they add Travis Boyd, Benoit-Olivier Groulx and re-up Dakota Mermis.

Minimum salary deal.

And that other holiday thing as well.

A good depth player returns.

Now official.

Toronto invited 22 undrafted prospects to their July 2025 development camp this year. I'm looking at them all to see who could be interesting as potential future signing or draft targets.

Conditional third-rounder.

All forms must be signed in triplicate.

Nice!

Draft day has been overtaken by Marner events.

Say that in the rink announcers voice.
