Good morning Toronto Maple Leafs fans!

The prospext tournament ended yesterday with the Maple Leafs losing 4-1 to the Detroit Red Wings. Sad, but, whatever.

Now we have a couple days of comings and goings until training camp gets underway at the end of the week.

The adult Leafs were at the annual Leafs & Legends gold tournament, knocking some balls around to raise money for the MLSE Foundation.

TSN wonders if the Leafs will end this season on a different note.

While the Leafs were enjoying themselves, the Flyers were dealing with some bad news: Sean Couturier will miss a lot of this season with a herniated disc in his back.

So, I leave you with this question:

Should the Maple Leafs look for a Sandin trade?
