Every summer it seems, there’s a reasonable turnover of the Toronto Maple Leafs roster. This summer has been no different.
Inevitably, this means there’s a whole bunch of new jersey numbers for Toronto Maple Leafs fans to get to grips with.
As I highlighted last summer, there is always a few challenges with new signings to an Original Six franchise like Toronto; not least because there are 13 team retired numbers (14 including the league-wide retirement of #99).
Looking to the newer names around the team, including the deadline signings, fans might be a little disappointed that they can’t dust off retro Bryan McCabe and Tie Domi jerseys and their namesakes (or child in the case of Max Domi) have picked different numbers.
