Good morning Toronto Maple Leafs fans!
It's July 1st, which means it's Canada Day! The anniversary of Confederation. The birth of a nation. Where all the trouble began, and a day I get double time!
It's also the day we split our attention from beaches, barbecues, and naps with contracts, rumours, and salary caps.
There has already been plenty of movement we've covered for the Leafs that I won't repeat:
Cathy Squires
Cathy Squires
Cathy Squires
And we have plenty of rumours going around already, like about the Leafs defensive needs.
Liljegren agrees to 2 year extension with Toronto at $3 mil per. The Leafs are still in on OEL. Zadorov is likely too expensive. They like Matt Roy but sounds like he may be headed a different direction. Hence, Liljegren provides some affordable insurance.

With #VGK moving on from Jonathan Marchessault, sources tell @DailyFaceoff that the Golden Knights are positioning themselves to take a run at Steven Stamkos on Monday - should he make it to market.

Can't firmly rule out one last push from Tampa Bay.
Tyler Bertuzzi won’t be returning to the Maple Leafs. His value has out priced Toronto. He will land a deal elsewhere in the 4 year and over $5 mil per territory.

It's going to be a crazy day. Hopefully good for Toronto, but remember to be wary of who's spreading rumours.

Enjoy your day everyone!
