Maple LeafsOpinion

The CBA Lets Toronto Name Matthews' Injuries. It Doesn't.

Almost everyone treats the NHL's upper-body and lower-body language as a privacy rule the clubs are stuck with. Article 34 of the collective bargaining agreement says the opposite, in plain words, and it has said so since 2013.

Maple LeafsOpinion

McKenna Is the Right Pick. He Won't Save Toronto.

Gavin McKenna is the best player in this draft and the easiest decision Toronto will make all summer. He also doesn't fix a single thing that actually ends the Maple Leafs' seasons. Why the pick is the start of Chayka's job, not the answer to it.
