Leafs willing to part ways with Kadri and Kapanen

With the 2019 NHL Draft happening tomorrow in Vancouver, the Leafs are in constant discussion throughout the league and two key names have come up recently in trade talks. Toronto Maple Leafs bracing for activity. Telling teams they will listen on Kapanen and Kadri. Would need a D back in a Kapanen trade and a centre back for Kadri. Strong sense Connor Brown could go as well. �

In the grandest of blogging traditions we here at The Leaf’s Nation are bringing you our Mock Draft. To make this a bit more relevant for Leafs fans we went two rounds on this one. You’re welcome. (Now scroll ahead to pick 53). Helping me with this draft are our resident Ryans, both Fancey and Hobart, as well as our newly minted Site Manager, Mike Stephens, who had the honour of picking for the Leafs (so blame him, not the rest of us if you don’t agree.)

The Leafs’ most likely trade targets, ranked

While we’re all trying to get a handle on what the Leafs might do in the coming days to adjust their roster, it’s worth noting that GM Kyle Dubas, still new to the job, is perhaps the most unpredictable manager in the entire league. Figuring out who is available on the Toronto end and who they might be looking at taking aboard has been tough to pin down as we get swept up in so many daily rumours. But going back over the last twelve months or so we can probably try to make a guess at who

I admit to be a sucker for trades, rumours, and speculation. I also am aware that I’m a total rube when it comes to this and that most of this is hype that has very little chance of happening. Still, I want to believe that exciting things are going to happen, and that’s why I love the TSN Trade Bait board. Leafs on the Board The Leafs have six players on the board, a

Just days before the 2019 NHL Draft starts, the first notion that the offseason has started was released. I’m sure every single fan is clamouring to find out when the Toronto Maple Leafs will play their preseason games before the 2019-20 season. Mark your calendars, the @MapleLeafs 2019 preseason schedule is here!

Who do the draft experts see as potential targets for the Leafs in the 2nd and 3rd rounds?

Yeah, no one is specifically saying these are the players the Leafs are looking at. Even in Toronto no one is putting in that leg work for picks outside the first round, and we’re relying entirely on who ranked at 53rd and 84th overall on draft lists to project potential targets for the Leafs. No matter how we get there, the results are pretty encouraging as some of these players listed seem like steals or worthwhile projects for development.

Leafs should be able to find a solid player in second round of the draft (Rankings)

It’s draft week, and with the Leafs not scheduled to pick until the late second round there’s a good chance you’re greeting the draft with an aggressive “meh”. That’s fair. What’s also fair is that you are more interested about the transactions the Leafs will be completing because of the draft and free agency being a catalyst for movement, and the Leafs have Marleau, Zaitsev, Kadri, Brown, and Sparks being heavily (but quietly) shopped at the moment, and additionally some sense

Can the Leafs Get an Asset for Garret Sparks?

It’s really crazy to think just how drastically the perception of Garret Sparks has declined over the course of a calendar year. June 14th 2018, and Sparks is hoisting a Calder Cup to cap off an extraordinary 2017-2018 campaign in which he was crowned as the league’s best goaltender and solidified himself as an NHL-calibre goalie. Sparks was bunched in with that group of players who were inevitably bound to graduate on from the Marlies –  the Travis Dermott’s, the Justin Holl

Last night was a high point that Toronto sports hasn’t seen since “Touch’em all Joe” and while I am not much of a basketball fan, I certainly appreciate the excitement for the sports fans of Toronto who are long overdue for some happiness. If you are exclusively a Leafs fan, you’re getting served up a little bit of happiness today as well… Hearing from a few sources that the Maple Leafs have quiet

How the Blues winning affects the Leafs

The 2018-19 NHL season ended Wednesday night and the only thing of importance to mention is how the St. Louis Blues winning the Stanley Cup affects the Leafs. The city of St. Louis can enjoy their first championship since the Cardinals won the World Series in 2011, but the metropolis of Toronto is where this win truly matters. Maybe now the Blues won’t be the last NHL team that comes to mind when you’re going through the teams for trivia, but we all know what team wil
