    Ben Danford on Winning the Calder Cup & Chasing a Leafs Roster Spot

    Fresh off winning the Calder Cup with the Toronto Marlies, Leafs prospect Ben Danford joins Nick Alberga and David Pagnotta to reflect on a whirlwind few months. After wrapping up his junior career, turning pro, and capturing a championship on June 19, Danford explains why the moment felt surreal—and why, after reaching the finals for a third straight year, winning was the only thing on his mind. He discusses the smooth transition to the AHL, credits the Marlies' coaching staff and veteran teammates for making him feel at home, and shares what it meant to have Easton Cowan hand him the Calder Cup after Cowan and the London Knights ended Danford's OHL season in back-to-back years. Danford also opens up about working alongside Mark Giordano, the impact the veteran has had on his development, and why newly promoted Leafs assistant coach John Gruden is "someone you want to work for, want to play for, and want to go to war for." Finally, the 2024 first-round pick outlines his offseason priorities, his focus on getting stronger after a long season, and makes his intentions for training camp crystal clear: "At the end of the day, my goal is to make the opening night roster." 🚨 Subscribe to Leafs Nation on Youtube!🚨 ➡️ / @theleafsnation401 SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!! 👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

    NHL Draft Preview with Pierre McGuire: Gavin McKenna & the Leafs

    Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill tee up the 2026 NHL Draft with the incomparable Pierre McGuire. McGuire breaks down why he believes this year's draft is top-heavy before detailing what Maple Leafs fans should expect from presumptive first-overall pick Gavin McKenna. He explains why McKenna should be in the Calder Trophy conversation as a rookie, compares his ceiling to Patrick Kane, and discusses why Toronto's current core is the perfect environment for the young star to thrive. Additionally, McGuire weighs in on another player the Leafs reportedly like in Chase Reid, assesses Carson Carels' game, and shares his thoughts on whether he would ever consider trading Matthew Knies. The conversation also touches on Jim Hiller's surprising hiring as head coach, why McGuire liked the Darren Raddysh acquisition, how the Leafs are addressing one of their biggest organizational weaknesses, the state of Toronto's goaltending, and, finally, the one player he would be calling about immediately if he were GM John Chayka: Mason McTavish. 🚨 Subscribe to Leafs Nation on Youtube!🚨 ➡️ / @theleafsnation401 SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!! 👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

    Michael Pezzetta on Winning the Calder Cup & Playing for Toronto

    Fresh off winning the Calder Cup, Toronto Marlies forward Michael Pezzetta joins Nick Alberga & David Pagnotta to relive an unforgettable championship run. Pezzetta says every kid dreams of winning the Stanley Cup, and that capturing the Calder Cup is the next best thing in professional hockey. He reflects on celebrating with family and friends, reveals his championship meal (his mom's lasagna), and explains what it meant to accomplish it all in his hometown of Toronto. Pezzetta shares what the championship meant to the city, why the Coca-Cola Coliseum atmosphere was electric throughout the playoffs, and why he believes Toronto will be "absolutely bananas" the day the Maple Leafs finally win it all. The conversation also dives into John Gruden's impact behind the bench, what made Mark Giordano such an important leader, Artur Akhtyamov's remarkable playoff run, Easton Cowan's growth, and Ben Danford's bright future. Plus, as a Toronto native who got to wear the blue and white, Pezzetta offers some advice for fellow hometown product Darren Raddysh as he begins his own Maple Leafs journey—including the reality of managing those ticket requests. 🚨 Subscribe to Leafs Nation on Youtube!🚨 ➡️ / @theleafsnation401 SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!! 👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

    Jeff Marek on the Leafs' Next Move, McKenna & Josi

    Nick Alberga & David Pagnotta are joined by The Sheet's Jeff Marek for a draft week primer. Right off the bat, Marek dropped a bombshell, revealing that projected 2027 No. 1 overall pick Landon DuPont is headed to Michigan. From there, the conversation shifted to the trade market, which has been buzzing ahead of the draft. Marek wondered whether the Dallas Stars could be a team to watch, especially with all the speculation surrounding Jason Robertson. He and Pagnotta also kicked around the possibility of a three-team trade should Robertson ultimately be moved. Looking at the Leafs specifically, Marek was asked who he'd be calling if he were John Chayka. He floated the idea of Roman Josi as a potential fit in Toronto before discussing whether it would make sense for the Leafs to explore a move for Alex DeBrincat, who is slated to become a UFA next summer. To wrap things up, Marek weighed in on the No. 1 overall pick and made it clear where he stands: he fully expects the Maple Leafs to select Gavin McKenna and admitted he'd be shocked if they went in any other direction. 🚨 Subscribe to Leafs Nation on Youtube!🚨 ➡️ / @theleafsnation401 SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!! 👍🏼Powered by @bet365.
