The Toronto Maple Leafs will begin the new NHL season this week when the annual Prospect Tournament gets underway.
The Toronto Maple Leafs are now less than two weeks away from their first pre-season game which comes on September 24 against the Ottawa Senators.
The Leafs had an eventful offseason: They fired Kyle Dubas, hired Brad Treliving, had a more or less uneventful draft, spent about $20 million in free-agency, took their starting goalie to arbitration, and signed their franchise player to a contract extension.
They also placed Matt Murray on the long-term injured reserve and re-signed coach Sheldon Keefe to a contract extension.
The Leafs may have made a lot of changes, but other than a new GM, most of them were superficial, and the team is once again “running it back” with pretty much the same main players and a different supporting cast.
Leafs fans should be used to this by now, as in each of the last several seasons the Toronto Maple Leafs have swapped out a large majority of the bottom of their lineup.
Many new faces will come to training camp including Tyler Bertuzzi, Max Domi and John Klingberg, but if you missed part of the summer you may have missed where some of the Former Leafs will find themselves this season.
In the following article, I’ll take you through each now ex-Leafs new home.
