The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins logo. A cartoon penguin wearing hockey gloves and skates and holding a stick. He has an angry and determined look on his face. His upper body is gigantic, relative to his lower body. Looks like a humongous muscle penguin. The incredibly muscular hockey-playing penguin is superimposed on a yellow triangle with a black border

The Leafs 1st overall is worth 100. All of the Vancouver Canucks picks this draft (3rd, 24th, 33rd, 41st, 78th, 97th, 129th, 161st, 176th, and 184th) are worth 99.27

When he was general manager of the Arizona Coyotes, there were so many computer terminals on the giant-sized desk of numbers guru John Chayka that it looked like he was trading commodities on Wall St. When Chayka was shown the door in Arizona in 2020, it was quickly determined that just one of the computer terminals on his massive desk was in working order — the other five, with data frozen on each screen, were nothing but show.

Pelley didn’t come empty-handed either. He had notes that included possible trade returns that Leafs staff members believed were generated by Large Language Models and Artificial Intelligence — tools that have become increasingly influential at the top of MLSE but hadn’t been part of the usual process with its NHL team.

Nylander wil be 30 in May. It hasn't been a great season for him, certainly. However, he still ranks 12th in the NHL in points per game. He is producing at a 99-point pace.

Over a seven-week span, David Kampf (owed more than $3 million), Alexandre Texier ($1.5 million) and Egor Zamula ($2.4 million) terminated their contracts. Texier has since signed an extension in Montreal, so that was a good gamble. But the NHL is not thrilled with the trend, especially when signing bonuses are already collected. Kampf had a $1.325 million bonus, Zamula $500,000. The league felt that, if the bonuses were not going to be returned, the money should remain on someone’s cap. Both terminations were delayed as the league pushed for that outcome. Ultimately, that didn’t happen, but it bears watching.

According to several sources, the Maple Leafs were told sometime before the New Year by Marner’s agent, Darren Ferris, that the winger might consider a trade to a Western Conference contender.
These are big games and big points, and it’s consistently not breaking in the Leafs’ favour. Through nine games in January, the Leafs have gone to more power plays than their opponent just once, the same amount in one other game, and have gone to fewer than the opposition in seven of those games.
