Dougie Hamilton's future with the New Jersey Devils is up in the air. That's putting it mildly. The team was actively trying to trade him earlier this season to open up some cap room. There have been many teams linked to a potential deal for Hamilton , including the Toronto Maple Leafs. But insider Chris Johnston in The Athletic projects a more familiar landing spot for the big, puck-moving offensive defenseman. He predicts Hamilton going back to the Carolina Hurricanes. ...

The Toronto Maple Leafs are reportedly going to move on from Bobby McMann as he'll fetch a good return and they may feel like he's going to be too costly to re-sign. Whether anyone other than the organization thinks it's a good idea to trade him instead of bringing him back, the Maple Leafs are going to do what they think is best to retool the team again before next season and get back to being contenders. James Mirtle said, "The talk out there is people think he's worth what Kiefer Sherwood g...

Two games in, two wins for Team Canada, who clinched first place in Group A. This game got off to a fast and furious start, as, unlike in the first game against the Czechs, Switzerland has more depth and quality to match Canada’s pace. Right away, Canada hit the crossbar on a point shot before […]

As the longest-serving Toronto Maple Leaf, no player has seen more of the drama and playoff failures surrounding this team in the Auston Matthews Era than Morgan Rielly. Now in his 13th year in the Blue & White, the 31-year-old defenseman still has four years to run after this one on his $7.5 million cap hit. But he is simply not the same player that the Leafs handed that eight-year, $60 million deal to back in 2021. The team would like to turn the page and move on from Rielly, but his f...

With Olympic hockey finally underway, and the NHL participating for the first time since 2014, we have some very exciting games on the schedule while the Habs are off. It started with Canada taking on Czechia yesterday, where the favourites steamrolled their way to a convincing 5-0 win. Jon Cooper received contributions from up and down his lineup, they didn’t allow many high-quality scoring chances, and even when the Czechs found a way to make Jordan Binnington work, he turned in one of his b...

The Toronto Maple Leafs keep circling the same deadline question with Bobby McMann. If he is really pushing for a number near $5 million per season on an extension, is this the moment to sell high, and can they actually squeeze a first-round pick out of a contender? On the JD Bunkis Podcast , Sportsnet’s James Mirtle left the door open, but made it clear the market is a lot messier than fans want it to be.
Can Toronto really get a first for Bobby McMann?

The Edmonton Oilers are one of the teams linked to Bobby McMann of the Toronto Maple Leafs and that's a move that makes a lot of sense considering he's a pending UFA and Toronto is sitting six points out of a playoff spot. But there appears to be another that the Oilers may have interest in as well. David Pagnotta said, "The Leafs aren't trading (Ekman-Larsson) for Mangiapane and a pick. So, sorry, that's not going to happen. You're probably looking at something like an Isaac Howard in a deal ...

The Toronto Maple Leafs are going to have an interesting week and a bit coming out of the Olympic break as they sit six points back of a playoff spot and have decisions to make about their roster for this season and in preparation of the future. This is seen as a transition year, the first without Mitch Marner, and attempting to build a more rounded team with the money. That hasn't really worked out, but they are still in the race if they have a strong finish to the season. According to Pierre...
