The Toronto Maple Leafs are toast. They're going to start selling, according to at least one report . And while names like Bobby McMann, Scott Laughton and Morgan Rielly will be getting a lot of buzz, the real (only?) strength of the team at this point is goaltending. And of the threesome of Joseph Woll, Anthony Stolarz and young Dennis Hildeby, it might be the latter that has the most trade value around the league. In Philadelphia, the Flyers have given up 18 goals in their last f...

As the Maple Leafs’ season continues to unravel, questions are naturally flying about their plans to sell and the franchise’s overall direction. The on-ice downturn comes in the wake of an offseason where the Maple Leafs essentially saw Mitch Marner walk for free. They clearly can’t allow the same scenario to play out with Auston […]

According to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, the Toronto Maple Leafs have begun conversations about selling off some trade assets ahead of this season's trade deadline. Friedman doesn't expect much to get done before the Olympic roster freeze, which kicks in on Wednesday, but there's certainly going to be some roster changes coming in Toronto before the early March deadline. Elliotte Friedman: Re Maple Leafs trade deadline: I think they're gonna put a lotta guys out there and just kinda ...

Things have gone from bad to worse for the Toronto Maple Leafs , who are second last in the Eastern Conference, 10 points out of a playoff spot, no help is coming, and they have lost six games in a row and eight of nine. There are going to be some changes, and selling seems like a viable option for them unless something turns around immediately. The Maple Leafs have three capable NHL goalies, so someone has to go. With the injuries earlier in the season, Dennis Hildeby got the opportunity and ...

I’m old enough to remember when a matchup between Connor Bedard and Adam Fantilli was top shelf marketing material. Maybe it still should be. The first and third overall picks in the 2023 NHL Draft , Bedard and Fantilli are two of the three players from their draft class to have already eclipsed 100 career points. And, while Anaheim’s Leo Carlsson (the second overall pick) is getting more league-wide talk than Fantilli at this point, the Columbus center (and Michigan product) has actually scor...

We are deep into silly season, so names are being thrown around among NHL fan bases like they’re going out of fashion. There’s an understanding among Edmonton Oilers fans that the team doesn’t have much money to spend. That has put them out of the running for someone like Artemi Panarin, and probably any of…

With the Toronto Maple Leafs ' fifth loss in a row and seventh of their last eight games, they have fallen out of the playoff race unless they have a very strong finish. With how the Eastern Conference playoff race is, they are going to need at least 95 points to get in at this point. The team is eight points back with surging teams like the Boston Bruins, Buffalo Sabres, and Montreal Canadiens all firmly ahead of them. This is seen as a transition year for the Maple Leafs after losing Mitch M...
