Jack Roslovic cites Maple Leafs being ready to win as a reason for signing with them
Toronto Maple Leafs forward Jack Roslovic cited the team being ready to win as one of the reasons why he opted to sign with them this summer during an appearance on TSN’s OverDrive on Thursday. “ A mixture of everything,” he said. “ They’ve been a team that you could say didn’t have their best year last…

Sportsnet names Matthew Knies as one of the best-value contracts in the NHL
Former Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Brad Treliving did some good during his time at the helm, and a whole lot of bad. Especially towards the end. We have covered Treliving’s spotty track record here extensively, so today we’ll focus on one of the good days he had. We’re just about at the middle of…

Why Patrik Laine is worth the gamble for the Maple Leafs
Toronto Maple Leafs general manager John Chayka should continue to add to his forward group and take a flyer on Patrik Laine. The free-agent forward is still without a contract for next season, he’s recently been linked to the Leafs, and Chayka should offer Laine a one-year deal, laced with performance-based incentives. Is Laine the…

New Maple Leafs strength coach Andy O’Brien delivers glowing review of John Chayka: ‘Relationships matter’
The Toronto Maple Leafs recently hired Andy O’Brien, better known as Sidney Crosby’s former personal trainer, to lead their sport performance department.

Reflections on European sports culture, and the Maple Leafs
As a sports journalist, you’re often instructed to unwind from work when going on vacation. While this advice is well-intended, I’m naturally drawn to the sporting culture of a new city. After heading to Dublin to visit my girlfriend’s hometown over the past week and change, with due consideration to the news cycle crawling to…
Our BOLDEST Leafs predictions for 2026-27: Leafs Morning Take
The Toronto Maple Leafs just can’t stop making changes. From a content standpoint, it’s the gift that keeps on giving, especially when they announce news on a random Sunday in August. That’s where the conversation started on the latest summer edition of Leafs Morning Take. After spending three seasons as a development coach, Toronto promoted…

Around the NHL: Red Wings holding firm on Larkin trade package, Hurricanes discussing Nikishin trade
Welcome back to another mid-summer edition of Around the NHL. We’re into our second week in August, and while things have calmed down considerably throughout the league, there’s still a ton of business to take care of before the doors open for training camps in September.

The Toronto Maple Leafs are reportedly one of five teams that are linked to free agent winger Patrik Laine, according to The Montreal Gazette’s Herb Zurkowsky. “Since free agency began on July 1, Laine has been linked to the New York Rangers, Minnesota Wild, Tampa Bay Lightning, Toronto Maple Leafs and, more recently, the Philadelphia…
Morgan Rielly trade rumours have disappeared as offseason continues
Remember when the talk of Toronto was trading Morgan Rielly this summer? Turns out, all of the chatter has transitioned to the sound of crickets. After Rielly’s struggles last season, and with John Chayka taking over as general manager, many felt the longest-tenured Leaf was a prime trade candidate heading into this offseason. From there,…

6 Maple Leafs prospects who are playing for an entry-level contract this season
As TLN continues to count down the top organizational prospects in the Toronto Maple Leafs’ system, it’s worth pausing to flag some players with extra incentive for big years. These players will see their rights expire at the end of 2026-27, and will either re-enter the draft, test the waters of free agency, or worse…

5 non-prospect Marlies who could push for NHL work in 2026-27
Injuries. They are going to happen. Probably at the worst time and to the player the Toronto Maple Leafs need the most. Call me pessimistic, but 2025-26’s disappearances of Auston Matthews, Chris Tanev, and Anthony Stolarz should have the team planning out their contingencies in advance. Enter the AHL veterans. Not quite “prospects” like TLN…
What Brandon Duhaime brings, and a PTO option: Leaflets
It’s Leaflets time, and as per summer tradition, I’m running on fumes when it comes to what Toronto Maple Leafs topics are worth diving into in August. Instead of going into a few different things, I’m going to focus my effort on one of my biggest questions of the off-season: who is Brandon Duhaime, and…
New Maple Leafs strength coach Andy O’Brien raves about Sergei Bobrovsky’s training regimen
New Toronto Maple Leafs sport performance head Andy O’Brien believes that Sergei Bobrovsky’s biological age is younger than his chronological age due to the care he takes of his body.

Former NHL defenceman Erik Johnson gives Maple Leafs’ strength coach Andy O’Brien ringing endorsement
The Toronto Maple Leafs made a lot of hires over the past few months, which is standard when you undergo a front office overhaul. The general manager will always want to fill out an office with his own handpicked hires, and while some of these, like the addition of Judd Brackett as assistant general manager,…
Teddy Blueger is excited to feel the passion of Leafs Nation
Teddy Blueger is ready for the bright lights of Toronto. Blueger signed a two-year deal, worth $2.5 million AAV this summer to become a Maple Leaf, and the tension, and pressure of the market was one of the more appealing aspects of signing in Toronto.
