The Russian defenseman and sixth round pick may wind up being the biggest 'steal' of the draft for the Leafs this year.

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

One more year for the Marlies.

Another development camp come and gone, but this year featured a much bigger influx of talented new prospects in many years. Who among them all stood out the most?

Well that was a fun week. Now we play the waiting game.

The new motto of the NHL.

They are clearing up all the RFAs today.

The new defender has a two-year contract.

Some weekend reading post free agency

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.

He entered this season as a consensus first rounder, so why did he fall all the way to the fifth round and why did Toronto still draft him?

Or bulk barn, one of those two.

Will Chayka make a splash with a big signing or will he wait and see.

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.
