Pilar's return (finally) on ice
The Leafs announced today that, despite the optimism in this article, Pilar will miss training camp and the blueline corps will look mighty thin as a result.

Nothing guaranteed for Killer
Gilmour is a wonderful player, a great human being and a veritable icon to Leaf fans.THis lovely article on his comeback seems toned in sepia. It would be great to see him on the ice again in October, but if it means taking the spot of a younger player who, like Nik Antropov, might break out this year, I have to shrug. If he can help on the ice, he might be a nice influence in the dressing room, but if he dogs it for a few games, it would a graceless ending.
Two minds, one head. Leafs fans unite!

Sneaking a peak at the war plan
George Gross gets a look at the Leaf's scouting analysis:
A focal point for analysis by the Leafs brass centred on the percentage of players drafted during the period who subsequently played at least 100 games in the NHL.
Surprisingly, the Carolina Hurricanes were on top, with 25 of their 116 drafted players, or 21.6%, breaking the century mark for NHL games played.
The Hurricanes were followed by the Vancouver Canucks (27 of 127, 21.3%) and the San Jose Sharks (24 of 113, 21.2%). The other top-five clubs were the New Jersey Devils (31 of 147, 21.0%) and Colorado Avalanche (30 of 149, 20.1%)
And where were the Leafs, you might ask? The Buds landed in the marginal territory of 17th overall with a record of 20 of 132, or 15.2%. And there may lie one of the key reasons that the team hasn't won the Stanley Cup in recent memory.
