We have sailed into the doldrums, and we won't see ice again for two months.

And it's likely they aren't finished yet.

Last RFA re-signed.

A little 'bro you know' on the staff hires helps keep it all hockey-typical, though.

Word is he was smuggled out of Ottawa in an Uber.

So much has changed. Is it time to start thinking differently?

One more year for the Marlies.

The new motto of the NHL.

They are clearing up all the RFAs today.

The new defender has a two-year contract.

He can buy himself a car now.

They also announced two other AHL-level NHL signings.

The frenzy is past, but the Leafs aren't finished their work.

An AHLer with some NHL experience. And a Calder Cup! He'll fit right in.

He's an AHL player of long standing.

Or bulk barn, one of those two.

A big swing at getting the old tandem back together with Anthony Stolarz.

And some picks are involved.

More depth.

Another depth forward of a certain type.

Another depth player and former linemate of Dakota Joshua.

A centre! They signed a centre!

He waited too long last year, he didn't do that this time.

Kyle Dubas, always loyal.

A blogging tradition.
