Ladies Talkin Leafs

Training camp is almost here, and this Maple Leafs roster looks nothing like it did last spring (thank goodness!). We're breaking down everything you need to know before the puck drops on the 2026-27 season.

We kick-off the show and get right into the fun stuff — projecting forward line combinations, defensive pairings, and which prospects and young players have a real shot at cracking the opening night roster.

Then in this instalment of the Third Period we have a great conversation with guest Arun Srinivasan of The Leafs Nation on where this team really stands heading into the season.

We dig into Sergei Bobrovsky's arrival between the pipes with Arun and discuss what he thinks the two-time Vezina winner and Stanley Cup champ brings to a Leafs crease that desperately needed stability. We also unpack the Darren Raddysh sign-and-trade and how it reshapes Toronto's blue line — plus the big question everyone's still asking: is Morgan Rielly actually staying in Toronto, or could a camp trade still happen?

We also talk about Jim Hiller's potential coaching system and what a shift in style could mean for this group, plus the latest injury updates and cap/roster management questions facing GM John Chayka as he continues his offseason overhaul.

Buds fans, this one's got everything — new faces, big questions, and a franchise trying to find its way back into the dance. Let's get into it!

A quick reminder before you go, we want to invite you to join the conversation and Leaf It To The Ladies! Leave us a message on Speakpipe and your question or comment could be featured on our next show. You'll find the link below!
