Apparently, the transition from the Edmonton Oilers to the Toronto Maple Leafs is a seamless one for Troy Stecher. Some players can’t handle the stress of playing in the Toronto market, particularly as they’re off to one of their slowest starts in a decade. But for Stecher, it’s just another day, especially after getting out…

The Columbus Blue Jackets are still looking to trade Yegor Chinakhov after the young forward asked for a trade, but they aren't just going to give him away for nothing. The Toronto Maple Leafs made an attempt to bring in the Russian from the Blue Jackets when they offered the team Nick Robertson for Chinakhov. Columbus rejected the trade, per Elliotte Friedman. While, for the most part, it was believed that Nick Robertson needed a fresh start elsewhere, he has been playing on the top line and ...
I love trades and I love rankings, and I’m a Maple Leafs fan so it goes without saying that I love misery. For today’s post, I figured I’d combine all of those things into one piece, with a ranking of all the times that the Maple Leafs have traded away a first-round pick. After all, it feels like a timely topic right about now. After some digging, I found there have been 29 separate trades in Leafs history in which they’ve traded away a total of 31 first-round picks, so I did what any normal p...
As good as the hockey was at the U18 Nationals in Newfoundland & Labrador, spots for U18 Worlds in January were on the line. So, who impressed?
It is no secret that the Toronto Maple Leafs have to do something to get some life into the team and make the playoffs in the first year without Mitch Marner. Whether that comes with a big move or a few smaller roster-shifting moves, something has to and is going to get done eventually. The Calgary Flames are last in the NHL and should absolutely sell what they can. They aren't winning with the core they have. The proof is in the last few years of failed attempts to make the playoffs. These ar...
There’s an unfortunate pattern developing for the Penguins during this 1-4-1 stretch to start November.

The Toronto Maple Leafs are not in a great spot behind the pack in the Eastern Conference and a lot of things just aren't quite right this season. Between injuries, the defensive system, and players needing to play better or step up, there is a lot that needs to change. The Maple Leafs are expected to be in the playoffs every season and there are a ton of eyes on them before even factoring in that it is the first season without Mitch Marner after tons of criticism. Trades have surrounded the t...
