<strong>Could the NHL really put the draft cart before the playoffs horse?</strong>

The Marlies of 2020-2021 are just a rough sketch of a team so far. But we can still get an idea of the shape of things, and the scale of the job to improve the picture.

You might not know you do, but you do.

The NHLers under contract for next year plus the expiring RFAs are the core of the Leafs and the Marlies. Where is the roster thin?

Who is signed to which team, and where are they going to play?

Transfer agreements smooth the way for players to move between the leagues.

Their four lists are ready for you to use to go shopping. Canada Post will deliver your draft choice to the nearest post office for you to pick up.

Will he be the next Ilya Mikheyev? No one can match that debut, but maybe he can come close.

The hockey star, medical student, Maple leafs employee and Canadian Olympian is working to source donated PPE for healthcare workers in Toronto.

Today is the first day Canadians can apply for the new Canada Emergency Response Benefit, so I’m hijacking this post to tell you what you need to know.

At a time when revenue projections for next year would normally be just about nailed down, we find out the 2018-2019 numbers were really wrong.

The first free agent season has fallen in the hiatus, so it’s time to examine the risks of signing players who’ve never set skate in the NHL before.

The KHL free agent rush is on.

And the Leafs are interested per his agent.

The measures are a response to the suspension of play in the NHL due to the coronavirus pandemic.

It’s the end of junior hockey in Canada, leaving only the NHL and AHL still in hiatus and not cancelled.

If I were evil, I’d have called that a Sandin Rumour in the headline. But it is a Sandin rumour.

They’ve made hockey free so you can yell at the refs all you like.

What’s not cancelled is now the shorter list.

Of such small things, are these made.

There’s a lot of questions we have no answers to, but that’s the big one.

This isn’t a hiatus or a suspension — it’s over.

... and to have a normal season in 2020-2021.

The door is open for a resumption of play if it becomes safe to do so.

Not immediately.
