Two very different decisions are unfolding around the Toronto Maple Leafs right now, but they actually circle back to the same question: what kind of players does this team want to keep, and what kind of players does it need more of?
The NHL has had an interesting new millennium. It was a league sans a salary cap when the 2000s started… and then the owners locked the players out for an entire season.

“They haven’t seen our best game yet, and that’s on us as a whole group. We have spurts, and we have shifts, but we just can’t string them together right now.
There’s something pure about watching players like Logan Shaw and Vinni Lettieri in the playoffs for the American Hockey League (AHL) Toronto Marlies. They don’t need an NHL contract or a spot on the Toronto Maple Leafs bench to feel that rush when someone grabs a puck, drives to the net, or threads a pass through a seam.
People will talk about the “Mount Rushmore” for a franchise, which is to say the four people, usually four players, that most define the franchise. Not always the four-best players, but the four that evoke the essence of the franchise.

“We didn’t get away from our system and structure, and that’s what kept us in it. We just chipped away. We have a good belief in the dressing room, and that’s a big win for us.” – Logan Shaw “We played a pretty strong game.
“I thought we played extremely well. The kill in the first period — the five-minute [major] — was huge. It was a huge momentum boost for us. The special teams were a huge part of this win, but I thought our five-on-five game was really solid.
“I think it is a huge goal for [Logan Shaw]. He’s been doing a lot of (good) things that don’t show up on the scoresheet. For him to make a big play in a big moment like that, it should help propel him moving forward.” – John Gruden For 50 minutes, the Toronto Marlies looked […]

Comebacks are becoming a theme early in the 2024-25 Toronto Marlies campaign. On Friday night, the Marlies gave up the opening goal for the fifth time in six games and fell behind 2-0 for the third time. The group’s resilience in sticking to the plan and believing in each other is certainly praiseworthy, but at the […]
