Did everyone have a happy Canada Day? I heard fireworks were going off all day and night.
Let’s get right into it. The past week has seen the Toronto Maple Leafs massively overhaul their roster, specifically on the cap sheet, at the bottom of the lineup, and especially on defense. In the morning, the Nikita Zaitsev for Cody Ceci trade played out, lifting the Leafs from $6.6 million in cap dollars for next season. Then, a bevy of depth players were signed, headlined by former Ottawa Senators star centre Jason Spezza coming in on a league-min deal.
