NHL Trade Rumors: Maple Leafs will sell despite recent win streak

Just because the Toronto Maple Leafs have won three games in a row heading into their Olympic break doesn't mean GM Brad Treliving is going to slow down the trade conversations. Multiple reports have surfaced stating the Maple Leafs are open for business, which could include selling off some of their top trade assets, while also adding long-term options for the roster. Bobby McMann and Oliver Ekman-Larsson hold the most value on the trade market when it comes to the Leafs' roster, and don't be...

Better know your Blue Jays 40-man: Andrés Giménez

Andrés Giménez is a 27-year-old, left-handed hitting, middle infielder. The Jays picked him up in trade from the Guardians in early December 2024, along with Nick Sandlin for Spencer Horwitz and minor leaguer Nick Mitchell. Horwitz was quickly flipped to the Pirates. Horwitz hit .272/.353/.434 with 11 home runs for Pittsburgh, playing first base with […]

Scenes From Morning Skate: The Oilers need this one

The Edmonton Oilers went 4-4 over a homestand that could’ve pushed them into first place in the Pacific Division. Instead, they got smoked 5-2 by the Toronto Maple Leafs at Rogers Place last night. Now they’re heading to the Saddledome for one more game before the Olympic break. Winning in Calgary won’t erase the frustration…

Game Review: Maple Leafs enter the break on a high note with a satisfying win in Edmonton

They aren’t dead yet. The Maple Leafs will head into the Olympic break on a three-game winning streak and five points out of a playoff spot.

For now, let’s discuss a nice Leaf effort to […] The post Game Review: Maple Leafs enter the break on a high note with a satisfying win in Edmonton appeared first on Maple Leafs Hotstove .

The Oilers penalty kill sucks again, Frederic tries to fight the wrong guy, and one more game until the Olympics

Oilers, Leafs. Leafs, Oilers. They’re games that always bring a big, split, noisy crowd to Rogers Place, and it was no different Tuesday night, with competing chants all three periods. The energy was nothing short of fantastic, and it’s a shame the Leafs are so far from being a Stanley Cup contender, because an all-Canadian…

NHL Rumors: Projected Maple Leafs Trade Return for Bobby McMann

The Toronto Maple Leafs are drifting closer to seller territory, and one name consistently coming up in league circles is Bobby McMann.  With Toronto sitting outside the playoff picture and facing a shallow sellers’ market, McMann has quietly become one of the most appealing deadline pieces available.  His combination of speed, versatility, and a bargain $1.35 million cap hit puts general manager Brad Treliving in a position of leverage as contenders search for uncomplicated scoring ...

Cheer, Don't Jeer!

I will occasionally drop in on a hockey game at an unspecified rink around town just to watch the action. My scouting resumé is nothing more than a blank sheet of paper since I've never been hired as a scout nor have I ever been asked to scout a player, but I know enough from watching games at the university level what I'd be seeking if I ever was asked to scout players. What a lot of people may not see is that the experience of sitting in the stands and listening and observing parents can go ...

What should the Raptors do at the trade deadline?

Very quickly, it seems like a few trade possibilities for the Toronto Raptors have emerged. While I am still skeptical of the legitimacy of these deals and talks, they seem to have some kindling to them.
