We’re not even faking that the deals aren’t already done anymore.

All the options are open, and you can imagine any Leafs lineup you like.

This is the best time of the year for rumour mongers and speculators. Let’s play too.

Stop wringing your hands over it.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to be a Chris Tanev swap.

This isn’t the same as signing him, but it is an expression of continued interest.

This year’s UFA group is not going to get you a big star, but stars aren’t what you should be looking for. Bargains are.

There’s one man from last year’s Leafs camps as well.

The drafts are over, and it’s time to relax. Only, not so fast. There’s a few more things to do before the summer heats up.

The Leafs came out of the two drafts without any trades made, but is walking away from a bad deal a win in its own right?

If ever you’re going for a “what the hell” pick, your seventh rounder is when you do it.

The Leafs second fourth-round pick is the very last one of the round, and they picked an overage forward from Russia.

The fourth round is a good time to look for a goalie. Will the Leafs get luck with their newest pick?

The Leafs began with a defender who is small and mobile and then they flipped that script in all but position. This might be the biggest draft class ever.

Trying to figure out what teams were thinking in a trade is tough at the best of times. The draft floor makes it worse.

Now that the first round is over, it’s time to really stock up on prospects.

Here’s how it happened.

All the draft profiles and stories are here.

This is a look at all the mid-first round picks you’ll see taken this evening. Get to know them now.

This year, they start on the road in Winnipeg.

There is still a real and genuine need for at least one centre on this team.

The last teams have picked and you can see the full list of 31 names taken.

All the trades, winners, losers, and rumours we can find.

We have a totally legit copy of the acceptance speeches for Mike Babcock and Auston Matthews for tonight’s Awards.

It’s fine to say that Lou Lamoriello and George McPhee are talking, but who are they talking about?
