Team, play and statistical analysis of the Maple Leafs, their opponents and the NHL as a whole.

Where are the holes in the Maple Leafs roster?

And how soon do they need to be filled.

Leafs about to sign Chris Tanev

But for what kind of contract?

Closeup on Brandon Montour

The wrong exit on the highway for the Leafs

Colton Parayko: Imperfect in the right ways

But is it a deal the Leafs should be making?

Trading for Defence

No, not Marner, not Cowan either, but there is trade potential.

Finding Defence

Just UFAs today. But be warned: I don't like the guys you like.

Carolina Hockey

To understand their players, you have to understand the team.

More Bertuzzi?

Re-sign Bertuzzi? Maybe. Maybe consider the overall budget first.

Bruins Again

Bruins and Leafs, Leafs and Bruins. Two teams you think you know well.

Tell me about heart

Put down the spreadsheet and just watch the game.

Timothy Lijegren and his next contract

Is Liljegren the next domino to fall? More likely the last.

Standings with one month to go

One team has a worse schedule than the Leafs, and who is going to lose the most?
