The 2024-25 season will begin in 65 days, yet several questions about the Toronto Maple Leafs remain unanswered. Among the most pressing is the status of Jani Hakanpää. Recently spotted at a Finnish golf charity event in a Dallas Stars jersey, there has been no official statement from the Maple Leafs about his signing. Additionally, there are lingering questions about star forward Mitch Marner and whether the team will clear cap space through trades before the season starts.

After going 14th overall in this summer’s draft and subsequently signing his entry-level contract, it appears Sabres prospect Konsta Helenius’ time in his native Finland is over for the foreseeable future. Liiga club Tappara, which owns his rights, said Monday that Helenius is “looking for a place to play in the Sabres organization” this season and is unlikely to return to the club.

The Montreal Canadiens have plenty of reasons to get excited about their future. They have one of the best defensive pipelines in the league, a possible stud goaltender waiting to sign his pro contract, and chose two elite offensive players in the first round of this year's draft. Their defensive group is so loaded that they're looking to trade some top veterans like David Savard and Mike Matheson this offseason. The Canadiens might have to wait for Ivan Demidov and Michael Hage to make their debuts, but they have some other young breakout candidates in 2024-25.

Budda Baker and the Arizona Cardinals seem content to play out 2024. The bigger question for general manager Monti Ossenfort is why? Baker has been solid on defense, a big contributor to the stat line, and most importantly for any NFL team, a good citizen, unlike first-round pick Marvin Harrison Jr, a me-first player the Cardinals will regret.

One of the top prospects of the Montreal Canadiens has just been traded by the Owen Sound Attack to the Kingston Frontenacs in the OHL.

He's been a very solid player for Owen Sound, not having missed a single game in all of his three seasons with the club. Unfortunately for Cedrick, he's going to have to pack his bags, as he's been traded to the Kingston Frontenacs.
