Toronto Maple Leafs Didn’t Burn One Prospect, and That’s a Win
The Toronto Maple Leafs were big winners at the NHL trade deadline. Entering the deadline in first place, the Toronto Maple Leafs already knew they had a great team, and were on a 9-0-1 run. The Leafs could have gone crazy, but instead they targeted the player they wanted and added in some depth.

What did the Maple Leafs give up in that first round pick?
Photo by Claus Andersen/NHLPA - The Players Collection via It could have been anything! Even a boat! On Sunday afternoon the Toronto Maple Leafs traded their 2021 first round pick and two fourth round picks to acquire Nick Foligno from the Columbus Blue Jackets (with the help of the San Jose Sharks). Kyle Dubas has never been afraid to trade away a first round pick - he did so in 2019 to acquire Jake Muzzin and again in 2020 to shed Patrick Marleau’s contract; but he got a first round pick for the 2020 draft from the Penguins only two spots below the Leafs’...

Toronto Maple Leafs Best Move Was NOT Acquiring Taylor Hall
The Toronto Maple Leafs biggest move at the NHL Trade Deadline was passing on Taylor Hall. Expected goals and analytics are an important part of hockey, but it’s not everything.

Thornton might see reduced role with Leafs
For the stormy seas of playoffs, the Maple Leafs have added a fourth captain’s ‘C’ to the bridge. Nick Foligno joins John Tavares, Jason Spezza and Joe Thornton as those who had that letter on previous NHL teams, though in Thornton’s post-deadline world, he might have a reduced role. Heading into Monday’s game in Montreal, the 41-year-old Thornton had gone 12 games without a point and appears to be...

Campbell's record run ends as Maple Leafs fall to Habs
Reacting to their big trades the previous 72 hours, Morgan Rielly declared it “go time” for his Maple Leafs. Not so fast. Perhaps the excitement of landing Nick Foligno, Riley Nash, David Rittich, Ben Hutton and a couple of depth pieces distracted from proper prep work for the Montreal Canadiens on Monday night. The Leafs...

Maple Leafs door remains open for Andersen to come back and play, Dubas says
Kyle Dubas’ faith in Frederik Andersen hasn’t waned. In fact, the Maple Leafs general manager expects Andersen to be back in uniform at some point this season. Andersen, dealing with a lower-body injury, has not been on the ice since March 19, when he was in goal for a loss against the Calgary Flames. “I’m convinced that Freddie is...

Leafs' interest in defenceman Hutton goes back a few years
Ben Hutton was in the Maple Leafs’ sights for a while. General manager Kyle Dubas confirmed as much, saying the Leafs had interest in the defenceman in the summer of 2019. Two years ago, the Leafs traded for Tyson Barrie and Cody Ceci and wanted to see more development in Travis Dermott. The attraction to Hutton didn’t wane, and minutes before the NHL trade deadline on Monday the Leafs acquired Hutton...
