## Resource

John Chaika and the Toronto Maple Leafs completely blew open the wallets on Day 1 of NHL Free Agency! Mike DiStefano and Dave Morassutti break down an incredibly busy 8-transaction day that reshaped the Blue and White. The Maple Leafs entered July 1st with over $20 million in cap space and spent almost every single penny to completely revamp their roster. We kick things off with the biggest fish on the market: Sergei Bobrovsky. Plus, we break down the shock late-afternoon trade that brought Nick Paul to Toronto from the Tampa Bay Lightning in exchange for Dennis Hildeby. Does Paul finally solve the Leafs' gaping hole at 3C? Mike and Dave give their official grades for Chaika's first Free Agent Frenzy and map out Lineup Projection 1.0, incorporating all the new depth pieces. Finally, we discuss the trade that started it all—shipping Nick Robertson to Kyle Dubas and the Penguins—and look ahead to why a Morgan Riley trade might be the next shoe to drop.
