Friday FTB: It’s draft day!
Who will the Maple Leafs take in the first round? We’ve reached another offseason milestone. 31 players are going to find out what team they are going to start their NHL careers with tonight.

But let’s be honest, the most important number that night will be 25. The Leafs earned the...

What is the Leafs pre-draft cap situation?
With the potential for trades in the coming days, let’s check the Leafs cap space. What is their purchasing power? The Toronto Maple Leafs are a very weird team.
