The summer seemed to have come and gone quickly as the 2023-24 NHL regular season is just around the corner in less than a month’s time. At the same time, the Toronto Maple Leafs are set for another exhilarating season ahead of them.
The Toronto Maple Leafs made many moves and transactions this past offseason in preparation for another strong contending year in the highly competitive Eastern Conference.
In fact, with ten expiring contracts, and a new GM, plus constant trade rumours, few, if any, teams were busier than the Leafs this summer.
