First off, let me apologize to the contributors as well as the readers of Detroit Street Press. I have been slacking on the posts since the trade deadline. I had so many article ideas throughout this time (i.e.: Chara’s hit on Pacioretty, Leafs’ season wrap up, The Pending Sale...
With the NHL Trade Deadline less than two weeks away, Toronto Maple Leafs General Manager Brian Burke did not waste any time in restructuring his team not only for this season but for the next few seasons. In a span of 10 days, Brian Burke has unloaded two players...
