The Marlies are hard at work adding players to the system to keep the team well stocked.

The Leafs prospect will stay in Russia on a two-year contract with SKA-Neva.

NHL-contracted players, even those in the AHL, are still on the not going list.

Time to give credit to the people who maintain the information we use every day.

It’s too soon for a WJC roster, but Eemeli Räsänen has been named to the Finnish team for a summer tournament, with more potentially to come.

The Leafs continue to improve on an area of weakness on the Mariles

The fun is over for another year. Now the wait is on for contracts, trades, signings and rookie camp.

And better still, when will the Leafs decide?

Could a contract with the Marlies be the answer?

It wasn’t Brooks, Bracco and Dzierkals, it was three names you likely don’t know.

Development Camp, cap issues and trades.

It seems obvious, but there’s a lot of options to consider.

This is the best part of development camp. You actually get to see the prospects as people for a brief moment.

Very little of the first day of development camp is serious business. It’s good to have some fun in the summer.

You can’t make fantasy lineups all summer without knowing who can be claimed on waivers.

And maybe will be for the run of this CBA. I guess we better learn how all this works.

Timothy Liljegren has a group of camp friends too.

Now we know why he’s not on the development camp roster.

Starting with Eemeli Räsänen, the Leafs picked a small group of Finns for their development camp.

What should we expect from him in the future?

The soon to be 38-year-old winger has signed on in Toronto after 19 seasons in San Jose.

Including yesterday’s free agent signings and the new draft picks, both charts are up to date.

That’s likely a good thing, but some excitement would have been welcome.

They decided to get in on the signing action today.

Before we get to the actual signings, we do have time for some more rumours.
