What a summer looks like when the offense is the least of a GM's concerns

Looking at the highlights, scouting reports, and game video of Toronto's latest hulking defensemen drafted out of Spokane in the 7th round of the 2024 NHL draft.

I highly recommend/don't recommend getting married during free agency.

Toronto's newest goalie prospect seemingly follows a new tradition for drafting relatively obscure, re-entry netminders out of Russia. Seems to have worked out just fine with Akhtyamov, but have they caught lightning in a bottle twice?

Two holidays in one week? That's crazy.

Toronto invited 22 prospects to their July 2024 development camp who are free agents. I'm looking at them all to see who could be interesting as potential future signing or draft targets.

Taking a look at the scouting reports and highlights of Toronto's fifth round pick out of Czechia, 6'1" center with great hands and a good shot: Miroslav Holinka. He may have struggled to make it in the Czech pro league this year, but we may be seeing him up and close sooner rather than later.

It's the fun kind of camp, not the one with bugs.

And two others!

Toronto has released the full roster of their own prospects and 22 undrafted, unsigned free agent prospects attending their camp from July 3rd-7th.

Toronto's 5th round pick out of Russia was one of many late-rounders they picked that scratched a lot of heads, since not many people had ever heard of him much less seen him. Well, now I've watched 6 of his games and I'm sharing what I saw and what scouting reports I've found.

No, I don't actually know what day it is, I haven't since sometime last week.

Big news on defence.

He's the emergency insurance and a recovery project both.

Another goalie!

Not official, but sounds like it's done.

Who will get overpaid and who will overpay?

They got their man.

Three years!

You have to click to see the names (because there's too many for the headline).

Two years, $3 million AAV

Now official.

The Leafs have a whole new crop of prospects, oh and apparently Chris Tanev too.

But for what kind of contract?

Check out the new prospects.
