As more Toronto fans get to know the Marlies, now is a good time to get to know the AHL itself. This July, dive in a little deeper to the league and take a look at the big changes afoot there.

Once you've picked your man, made your choice, it really is a good idea to have a plan B to fall back on.

The development camp is over, and the final slate of interviews and highlights is here to enjoy.

Plus interviews from Friday's action.

Need some hockey? Real stars, real sticks, real <strike>pucks</strike> balls, right now? Wayne Simmonds has you covered.

There&#39;s so many stories of doom and gloom about Roman Polak. And a lot of, &quot;Eh, it&#39;s a one year deal,&quot; too. Do the myths about Polak stand up to scrutiny?

Paul Hendrick sits down with a selection of prospects to talk about camp, their more famous siblings and Auston Matthews.

The Leafs picked several players at the 2016 draft after they had Auston Matthews locked down. Two of them have a lot in common.

The Marlies needed centre depth, and they have found it with two AHL contract signings.

From the ECHL to a big-league contract in two years, way to go Holl!

Where are all the former Leafs after the opening of free agent frenzy?

Close your eyes and picture the Stanley Cup. Now ask yourself if what you&#39;re about to do will bring you closer to that picture.

With the trade and signing of Frederik Andersen as the new Leafs&#39; starting goaltender, it&#39;s time for Leaf fans to get to know his history.

We know now who is and who isn&#39;t going to be available to play centre for the Leafs next year. How is the rest of the roster shaping up?

With the 31st pick of the 2016 draft the Toronto Maple Leafs select...Who?

We know Mitch Marner has learned all the OHL had to teach him, but is he ready for the NHL? How long will it take him to crest the learning curve?

It&#39;s not everyday you can trade for a first round draft pick and give up very little. Who is Kerby Rychel and why did the Blue Jackets sell so cheap?

Now that the draft is over, it&#39;s time to sift through the remains for gems that got missed.

After the first overall pick where there was zero suspense, the Leafs made some confounding choices in the draft. What were they doing, exactly?

The Leafs have a decision to make today: do they use their first pick, or trade it.

There&#39;s a lot happening in the next few days as free agent frenzy begins tonight. Get the exact times and dates sorted out now, so you don&#39;t show up late to sign Steven Stamkos.

Don&#39;t quit your day job, Willy!

Actually, he has two of them, and he&#39;s going to be very busy leading into next season.

Frederik Andersen and John Gibson of the Anaheim Ducks will both be recognized at the 2016 NHL Awards in Las Vegas.

A hard-hitting look at who should win the Norse Trophy this year. I breakdown all the candidates and examine the evidence.
