New - Thoughts on the offseason so far, playing out keeping Marner and why that wouldn't have been appealing, the deployment plan moving forward, and cap space to do more: mapleleafshotstove.com/2025/07/14/eva…

It is July 25, and the best record in Major League Baseball belongs to the Toronto Blue Jays.

New - Updated thoughts on the Leafs roster as they continue to reimagine their forward group. They are deeper, but are they better? mapleleafshotstove.com/2025/07/22/the…

Instant Analysis - Leafs acquire Dakota Joshua as the forward group starts to fall into place. Joshua fits how they want to play and is a decent bounceback candidate, but will need to re-establish himself as a third liner given his salary: mapleleafshotstove.com/2025/07/17/ins…

Hearing that the #Canucks have dealt Dakota Joshua to the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for a fourth-round pick.

Ryan Reaves' tenure in Toronto, which never really worked out, has come to an end. The Leafs have sent him to San Jose in exchange for defenseman Henry Thrun. Analysis 👇 mapleleafshotstove.com/2025/07/11/map… #LeafsForever

Pretty surprised the Leafs netted a somewhat interesting return in Henry Thrun. He's 24, 6'2, has 119 games in the NHL already, including averaging 20 minutes per night in 51 games as a rookie. Not saying he'll be a Simon Benoit story, but always intrigued by dmen from bad teams.

Brad Treliving on whether he would've handled the Mitch Marner situation differently in hindsight: "At the end of the day, there wasn't a path to a different outcome." Fascinating interview of Tre by @jtbourne and @RealKyper 👇 mapleleafshotstove.com/2025/07/02/bra… #LeafsForever

The Maple Leafs were quiet on day one of free agency — probably to their benefit: mapleleafshotstove.com/2025/07/02/the…

Really good read by Petrielli here:

"Mitch Marner had every chance to be a Leafs legend. He got in his own way more than the fans got in his." @MapleLeafsHS tackles some of the narratives around Marner's exit 👇 mapleleafshotstove.com/2025/07/01/mit… #LeafsForever

The Leafs added some jam to their depth ranks with the signing of Toronto native Michael Pezzetta to a two-year deal. Instant analysis 👇 mapleleafshotstove.com/2025/07/01/ins… #LeafsForever

Really like Connor Brown and would have been happy to have him in the mix as a player, but not at 4x3. Good for him for cashing in though; reunites with Sheldon Keefe of all people.
