## Resource

Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill dive into the NHL and Fanatics announcing plans to unveil “Hometown Remix” uniforms and apparel for all 32 NHL teams. What would the Leafs’ remix look like—and what would we want to see? Plus, John Tavares’ ongoing tax battle with the Canada Revenue Agency over the $15.25 million U.S. signing bonus he negotiated as part of his seven-year, $77 million U.S. contract to leave the New York Islanders and join the Leafs eight years ago. The boys also sift through what Morgan Rielly had to say about his summer and future in Toronto to the Toronto Star’s Dave Feschuk and the media at Hockey Night in Brampton. And finally, they give their thoughts on Daily Faceoff listing the Leafs as one of the five most improved teams in the NHL this summer. 🚨 Subscribe to Leafs Nation on Youtube!🚨 ➡️ / @theleafsnation401 SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!! 👍🏼Powered by @bet365.
