The Maple Leafs development camp is over and we are in the long hot days of summer. There was a flurry of news this week with speculation about the team’s cap space situation, and how they have at least access to an amount possibly sufficient to sign Connor Brown, but the particulars of that are murky, buried in not exactly helpful examples in the CBA.

We may sit here and wait until September for something, anything, to happen.

“Here's how it works: Two teams, each made up of three players and a goalie, play two seven-minute halves with a one-minute break in the middle. There is no offside and no icing, but there is an over-and-back rule to prevent them from running down the clock. There are also penalty shots in lieu of minor penalties and faceoffs are instantaneous, which means the referee drops the puck whether the centres have lined up or not.”

Participants in the league include ex-Maple Leaf Mike Johnson.
