In this edition of Toronto Maple Leafs’ News & Rumors, there’s some good news for Maple Leafs’ players after the NHL awards last night. Two of the team’s best players – Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner – were given awards. Sadly, Michael Bunting did not pick up the Calder Trophy as the NHL’s best rookie.
The Toronto Maple Leafs don’t have a number one goalie under contract. The talks with Jack Campbell’s camp have been practically non-existent, and the rumours around John Gibson have died. It appears Kyle Dubas is going to look for a solution in free agency, but a new trade candidate has emerged. Nick Kypreos claims that
In this edition of Toronto Maple Leafs’ News & Rumors, I’ll take a look at some of the eclectic – a little bit from here, a little bit from there – news emerging from and around the team.

Is Campbell the Top Free-Agent Goalie This Offseason? Now the Maple Leafs find themselves in a position where the odds are they’ll

There were many similarities between Game 1 of the series between the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Toronto Maple Leafs and Game 5 Tuesday night, which saw the Maple Leafs come back from being down 2-0 to win the game 4-3. Looking back to the first game, which seemed to happen so long ago, the
Last night, the Toronto Maple Leafs beat the Philadelphia Flyers by a 5-2 score. There were two key positives from the Maple Leafs’ victory.

Campbell was a long-time backup goalie who’s played through some highs and lows during his career. He only became a full-fledged starter this season. Yet in his first full season as a
I had such good responses from readers of my Toronto Maple Leafs’ posts two weeks ago when I shared some of their insights, that I decided to do it again. I value readers’ insights and additions to my work, even when they disagree with me – as you will see later in this post. I

The Toronto Maple Leafs are on a recording-setting pace after an impressive first half of the season. The team has 59 points after 41 games. That’s on pace for 118 points, eclipsing the previous season-best points total of 105 set in the 2017-18 season. February is going to be a grind, 12 games in 28
Eight days ago, when the Toronto Maple Leafs left on a difficult four-game road trip, if someone said the team would come home with a winning record of 2-1-1, I’m guessing most Maple Leafs’ fans would have been more than satisfied. I’m not so sure that would be the case this morning. Indeed, the team’s
There is one big similarity between the Edmonton Oilers and the Toronto Maple Leafs. Both teams have great firepower at the top of their lineups. Who could argue that the Oilers’ duo of Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl is not the best 1-2 punch offensively in the NHL? In comparison, it’s likely the Maple Leafs come
