I'm slightly tipsy and there's a fly buzzing around me, so you're stuck with an unimaginative title and a brief FTB, not that there's much going on anyway. *(edit: clearly alcohol makes me more chatty and not less. whoops)* It's day three of Leafs rookie camp, so keep an eye out for coverage of that over here. Not much else going on in Leaf land right now. Oh, and I would be remiss if I didn't mention the radio hit Steve Simmons did yesterday, where he finally commented on his erroneous hot dog story. He really didn't say much. He pinned the errors on his "trustworthy source" and stood by his attempt to take one last shot at Phil Kessel's character. Anyway, I think I've wasted enough time on Steve Simmons and his shoddy journalism, so that's it for me. #### Leafs Links [In praise of Maple Leafs’ brilliant rebuild](http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-daddy/in-praise-of-maple-leafs--brilliant-rebuild--trending-topics-214142734.html?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) | Puck Daddy [Maple Leafs putting new spin on player development](http://www.tsn.ca/maple-leafs-putting-new-spin-on-player-development-1.328243?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) | TSN [Kapanen and Harrington Have High Ceilings for Maple Leafs](http://thehockeywriters.com/kapanen-and-harrington-have-high-ceilings-for-maple-leafs/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) | THW [Oddity: St. John’s Maple Leafs gear in Wimbledon stands](http://www.thetelegram.com/News/Local/2015-07-08/article-4207830/Oddity%3A-St.-John%26rsquo%3Bs-Maple-Leafs-gear-in-Wimbledon-stands/1?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) | The Telegram [Maple Leafs prospects hit the ice in Collingwood](http://www.simcoe.com/news-story/5713829-maple-leafs-prospects-hit-the-ice-in-collingwood/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) | Simcoe [Babcock on day two of Prospect Camp](http://mapleleafs.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=774269&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) | Maple Leafs [Mike Babcock urges Maple Leafs prospects to learn what makes superstars tick](http://www.thestar.com/sports/leafs/2015/07/08/mike-babcock-urges-maple-leafs-prospects-to-learn-what-makes-superstars-tick.html?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) | The Star #### The team’s 57 prospects did on-ice and off-ice drills in this resort town before heading off for an afternoon of paintball.
