A blockbuster trade proposal has the Toronto Maple Leafs shaking up their core by dealing superstar Mitch Marner to an Eastern Conference rival. Ever since the Boston Bruins eliminated Toronto in the opening round of the playoffs, Maple Leafs GM Brad Treliving has faced calls to trade one of his “Core Four” players. Auston Matthews and William Nylander aren’t going anywhere after signing lucrative extensions, but Treliving could be willing to move out John Tavares or Mitch Marner for the right price.

An NHL analyst made it clear that the expectations for the Toronto Maple Leafs are to make the conference final or better this season.

Analyst Makes Massive Prediction for Maple Leafs

NHL analyst James Reeve of TheLeafsNation is urging the Toronto Maple Leafs to sign free agent forward Kevin Labanc. Labanc has been a free agent since July 1 after completing a four-year $18.9 million deal with the San Jose Sharks. The forward had just 9 points in 46 games last season as he dealt with injuries, but with the Maple Leafs not adding a single forward in free agency, Reeve believes Labanc is a good fit for Toronto.

Former NHL player and Pittsburgh Penguins executive Jason Spezza has been promoted by Kyle Dubas to become the new general manager of the team's AHL affiliate. GM of the Penguins Kyle Dubas just loves Jason Spezza. They spent time together in upper management with the Leafs, and then they both made their way to Pittsburgh. Now, Dubas has given Spezza a promotion so that he can take over as general manager of the AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins. NHL insider Chris Johnston has also stated that Spezza will still remain as the assistant GM to the NHL's Pittsburgh Penguins too.

From the outside, there are a couple of things to notice about the Toronto Maple Leafs Auston Matthews. First, he’s a great player. Hardly anyone is as prolific a goal scorer as he is. Last season, he came within one of hitting 70 goals, and after surpassing Rick Vaive as the Maple Leafs’ single-season scoring leader, he hasn’t looked back. He’ll likely continue to score more than 50 goals a season for the foreseeable future.

Ryan Johansen was never expected to play for the Flyers and that now seems like a certainty. The Flyers placed the 32-year-old forward on unconditional waivers Tuesday for the purpose of terminating the final year of his contract. The club has cited a material breach for its reasoning and will not have any further comment.

If there is one thing to be said about the Boston Bruins, depth on the back end has been a focal point for their roster construction. Dating back to the 2011 Stanley Cup Championship team, the constructed blueline was one of the deepest in the league. Head coach Claude Julien could roll out any pair and they could be relied on to get the job done. Fast forward to the 2024-25 season and the Bruins are in familiar territory.

The Pittsburgh Penguins announced that assistant general manager Jason Spezza would become the new general manager of the team's American Hockey League affiliate, the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins.

In addition to his NHL accomplishments, Spezza has plenty of international hockey experience, having won a World Championship and...

In a recent interview, former NHL coach Dallas Eakins praised the Toronto Maple Leafs‘ decision to hire Craig Berube. Eakins lauded Berube’s tough-minded, no-nonsense approach as the potential key to finally pushing the team over the top. Eakins went as far as to say that Berube doesn’t care what anyone else thinks, implying this might be the secret ingredient for Maple Leafs’ success.

The Montreal Canadiens made significant moves this offseason, notably acquiring Patrik Laine from the Columbus Blue Jackets in exchange for Jordan Harris. The addition of Laine aims to bolster the Canadiens' lineup as they look ahead to future seasons, with a promising core of young players like Cole Caufield, Juraj Slafkovsky, and Nick Suzuki. While Laine’s presence may not propel the team into immediate playoff contention, he represents a potential key asset in their development over the next few years. The Canadiens are focused on developing a competitive lineup by the 2026-27 season as their young talent matures and they aim for a Stanley Cup run.
