It’s still two weeks until the first business day of September. We are truly in the dog days of summer now folks. But something’s a little off...

Oh, right. Mitch Marner still hasn’t signed.

Look, folks. There’s literally nothing else to talk about. Nothing. There’s no updates on Mitch Marner. There’s no news about Mitch Marner. There’s no rumours about Mitch Marner. There’s no rumours about the Maple Leafs either. The only interesting NHL rumour I’ve heard was that JvR mysteriously disappeared Saturday while shopping at a No Frills in downtown Toronto.

So just skip down to the links below. Some other NHL teams are doing things. For the Maple Leafs it’s still the dog days.
