The Toronto Maple Leafs have completed their training camp and will kick off the season tomorrow.

The Toronto Maple Leafs completed their training camp, albeit short, there was no shortage of storylines that developed during the camp.

The fact the Toronto Maple Leafs will face off in the re-aligned North Divison against their fellow Canadian adversaries is more than an interesting story to follow. With those other 6 teams being their only opponents in the shortened 56-game season.

While being in the Division that only has 7 teams, the Toronto Maple Leafs, by my estimate, don’t hold better chances of qualifying for the playoffs in comparison with playing in the former 8 teams Atlantic Division.

In addition with the busy offseason, the Toronto Maple Leafs had with trades and free-agent signings a lot of interesting storylines developed.

The Toronto Maple Leafs started their short but elusive training camp on January 3rd and concluded this with an inner-team scrimmage on Saturday. Showcasing some interesting options for both their special teams, defensive pairings and offensive lines.

While the countdown for the start of the 2021 NHL season nears its conclusion, the writing staff of Editor in Leaf came together (digitally) to discuss the storylines out of training camp and answer this weeks roundtable question;

“What will develop into the biggest storyline out of training camp and into the season?”
