Words cannot describe what this city means to me. You welcomed me in as a boy and watched me grow and evolve in front of your eyes.

We’re still waiting to hear about how Cody Ceci and the Leafs will come to a contract, whether through arbitration, or through a regular deal they hammer out together. Alexander Kerfoot still needs a contract too. There’s also that whole Mitchell Marner thing which I’m sure at this point is the last thing you want to hear about! ICYMI Here’s what we wrote about yesterday.
