Leafs confirm they’ve reacquired Joshua for a fourth rounder in 2028. Physical forward was a 2014 pick from the USHL who played his 241 NHL games for St. Louis and Vancouver.

RT @ThomasDrance: Hearing that the #Canucks have dealt Dakota Joshua to the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for a fourth-round pick.

Remembering ‘70’s era Leaf goalie Wayne Thomas:

Leafs have signed fifth-round, 2024 draft pick F Miroslav Holinka to a three-year, entry-level contract. Holinka,19, was in 47 regular season games with the Edmonton Oil Kings last year, recording 45 points after two seasons for HC Oceláři Třinec of the Czech League.

Two Jim Clancy recalls from the '80s: Covering his near perfect game v the Twins @ CNE and a trip to his native Chicago when scribes returned to the hotel at 3 am from the bars to see energetic Jim in the lobby. "Who's goin' to Cicero for a night cap?" Threw a gem his next start.

More on Henry Thrun's new run with the Leafs:

From earlier today, NHL regular season schedule announced this Wednesday at 1 p.m. Teaser released by the league is a triple-header opening night, Tues. Oct. 7, Chicago at Florida, Pittsburgh at Rangers, Avalanche at Kings.

Thrun says it was a little surreal that his first NHL goal came against the Leafs (vs. Martin Jones) in January of 2024. "The game was out of hand (7-1 Toronto) and the coach came bombing down the bench asking if I could play power play.".

New defenceman Henry Thrun will retain his No. 3 from San Jose with the Leafs after moving here from the Sharks.

Marlies sign forwards Cédric Paré and Sam Stevens to one-year AHL contracts.

It was 45 years ago today Terry Fox ran through Toronto with Darryl Sittler, electrified the city and took the Marathon of Hope to a new level. Wrote this about the day, via Bill Vigars' 2024 book on Terry with Ian Harvey; sadly Bill passed last year:

Leafs working backward from top of the fourth round in the 2019 draft. Have now acquired Matias Maccelli (originally 98th from Arizona), Cade Webber (99th Carolina) and Henry Thrun (101st, Anaheim). Toronto's two picks in that round, Mikhail Abramov and Nick Abruzzeze, are gone.

More on tonight’s Ryan Reaves trade:

Marlies ‘25-26 schedule info: Starts with a home and home vs. Rochester, that includes Oct. 11 CCC opener. Ends April 19 at home vs. Laval Rocket. Three games at Scotiabank Arena, inc. Boxing Day, Family Day (Feb. 16) and St. Patrick’s Day.
