In the - uh, rush - of last week, we never really took a second to talk about [the Leafs' schedule](http://mapleleafs.nhl.com/club/schedule.htm?season=20132014&gameType=2&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) this year. As always, Dirk Hoag's [Super Schedule ](http://www.ontheforecheck.com/2013/7/19/4539874/2013-2014-nhl-schedule-super-travel-miles-back-to-back-games?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)is helpful - the Leafs tie for the 11th most back-to-backs (at 16) and travel the 8th fewest miles. I don't know where the Leafs' strength of schedule stands, but I don't like the idea of playing the Kings and the Sharks twice. March will be a rough month, as always seems to happen to the Leafs, but at least they'll play the Flames twice?

Anyways, here's some links.

[Blake Wheeler signs 6 year, 33.6M deal](https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/nhl-twt/)  
Easy to forget he's been a 60+ point player for Winnipeg. Three years younger than Clarkson, deal's one year shorter.

[Colby Armstrong is close to signing in the SHL](https://twitter.com/IgorEronko/status/361085852413198337?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)  
The Toronto Maple Leafs will have $1M against the cap in his name. The deal was dumb, but that buyout was somehow even worse.

[NPR is streaming the Newport Folk Festival](http://www.npr.org/event/music/155839092/newport-folk-festival?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)  
Always nice to stream on a lazy Saturday. The Mountain Goats set was great, but as a Leafs fan, hearing [this one](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDGsh-Hrxho&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) live hit a little close to home.
