2023 T25U25: Departures

As you've noticed by now, if you've done the Community Vote, the list of players is very different this year. A lot of talent has aged out in the last couple of seasons.

Monday's FTB: Why is there a hockey tournament in July?

Come chat about the Leafs or anything else that strikes your fancy.

T25U25: Community Vote

It's your turn to vote!

T25U25 Ghost List

The Leafs began trading prospects and draft picks for roster players in 2016. This is the list of ghosts they gave away for short term gains.

The 2023 T25U25 is right around the corner

This year is going to be the most interesting T25 in some time. There are only two people on the eligibility list that were drafted in the first round: Timothy Liljegren and Easton Cowan. Conor Timmins missed by one, and the rest are a mix of free agents and later-round picks.

FTB: Somehow it's Monday

Chat about hockey! Or Mondays, it's all good.

Maple Leafs hire Assistant Coaches

Guy Boucher and Mike Van Ryn join the Leafs.

Cap Hits Can't Play Hockey

The Leafs have a cap space problem. That's the widely held view, at any rate. But do they?

A Brief History of Goalie Arbitration

There are three goalies heading to arbitration starting this week, and barring settlements in advance, all three have very good to excellent arbitration cases, and will get raises.

Maple Leafs hire new AGM

In a startling turn of events, the Maple Leafs have hired someone from the Pittsburgh Penguins. This is not how we were led to believe this summer would unfold.

Friday's FTB: Is this a good day for a news dump?

All the news we can find for a Friday in July.

Ilya Samsonov's Arbitration Hearing Date is July 21

All the arbitration hearing dates are now set.

Digging Deep for the Silver Lining

Are you less than impressed about the free agent additions? I try to find something nice to say about everyone.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the Weekend FTB

None of the incendiary Nylander trade rumours or articles about who the Leafs should sign when they have no cap space.

Marlies sign 5 players

All of these players were either on AHL or ECHL deals last year with the Marlies or the Newfoundland Growlers.

The Secretly Cap-Strapped Teams

Even with Jake Muzzin on LTIR, the Leafs have to find $3 million in cap space somewhere, and in much the same way William Nylander is the only player negotiating a contract, the Leafs are the only team who need to do something by October to be cap compliant. Or so it would seem.

Wednesday's FTB: Who is left in free agency?

Chat, complain, or just hang out instead of working.

Toronto Marlies have a new coach

John Gruden is coming off five years as an NHL assistant coach.

Dylan Gambrell signed by Maple Leafs

The Maple Leafs did sign Gambrell.

Monday's FTB: Free Agency Drags On

It's not a holiday unless it is.

Max Domi signed by the Maple Leafs

Max Domi is not his father, but now that they will both be Maple Leafs we should start out knowing who the son is.

Maple Leafs to sign Tyler Bertuzzi

Here we are again talking about Tyler Bertuzzi. There were some rumours about Bertuzzi and the Leafs in 2021, as the obvious exit of Zach Hyman was playing out. The Leafs signed Michael Bunting instead.

Sunday Morning Quarterbacking

It was Mike Johnson on TSN yesterday who pointed out that David Kämpf is the fifth highest paid forward. Klingberg is the third higest paid defender, and his price says he's going to get a lot of minutes, and play some role on the power play, likely the second unit.

Maple Leafs sign 3 ELCs

Three AHL level players have been inked to NHL two-way deals.

Maple Leafs sign John Klingberg

The veteran defenceman is coming off a one-year deal in Anaheim and a deadline move to the Wild.
