Leafs Season Opener Set for September 29 ft. Darren Pang
Nick Alberga Jay Rosehill react to the Maple Leafs' 2026-27 season opener officially being set. Toronto will kick off the new campaign at Scotiabank Arena on September 29 against the Montreal Canadiens. The boys also weigh in on the Detroit Red Wings moving on from Steve Yzerman as general manager. They then discuss Brandon Pridham officially joining the Pittsburgh Penguins, where he'll reunite with former Maple Leafs GM Kyle Dubas. The move comes nearly two months after Toronto parted ways with Pridham on May 17, ending his 12-year run with the organization. The conversation continues with reports linking the Maple Leafs to former Bruins executive Evan Gold. After 11 years in Boston, the Toronto native is moving on, and according to The Boston Globe's Kevin Dupont, there were hints over the weekend that Gold could be headed to Toronto's front office. Plus, former NHL goaltender and longtime broadcaster Darren Pang stops by to discuss Sergei Bobrovsky, the Maple Leafs' busy offseason, and why he believes there's plenty of reason for optimism heading into the 2026-27 season. 🚨 Subscribe to Leafs Nation on Youtube!🚨 ➡️ / @theleafsnation401 SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!! 👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

BS Meter on Dylan Larkin, Jason Robertson and Other Trade and Free-Agency Rumors
From mid-June to July 2, there was considerable activity in the NHL trade market. Notable players such as wingers Brady Tkachuk, Alex Tuch, and Jordan Kyrou; centers Vincent Trocheck and Mason McTavish; goaltender Jacob Markstrom; and defenseman Darnell Nurse wound up on new teams.
Frederik Andersen Nearly Signed With Rival Team Before Landing In Edmonton
Frederik Andersen ended up in Edmonton , but he very nearly landed somewhere else entirely. Per Elliotte Friedman, there was a strong belief that Andersen would sign with the Florida Panthers before they pivoted and acquired Jacob Markstrom instead. That shift opened the door for the Oilers to step in and secure the veteran goaltender on a one-year, incentive-laden deal. How Edmonton Landed Him The Panthers entered the offseason with a big need in net. Sergei Bobrovsky was heading toward free agency, and Florida needed a proven starter, with Andersen reportedly the expected target. Instead, the Panthers swung a trade with the New Jersey Devils for Markstrom and also acquired Akira Schmid from Vegas, filling their crease through other means. THE GREAT DANE 🇩🇰 The #Oilers have signed goaltender Frederik Andersen to a one-year contract with an AAV of $2.8 million. pic.twitter.com/UR5lbK2sLw — Edmonton Oilers (@EdmontonOilers) July 2, 2026 That left Andersen on the market, and Edmonton pounced. The Oilers signed the 36-year-old to a one-year contract with an average annual value of $2.8 million, structured with just a $1 million salary and $1.8 million in performance bonuses tied to games played and playoff success. For Edmonton The signing addresses a problem that has plagued the Oilers throughout the Connor McDavid era. Andersen is potentially the best goaltender the team has had during McDavid's time in Edmonton, and there is a sense he will be given the starting job to open the 2026-27 season. He is coming off a brilliant playoff run in which he went 13-2 with a 1.89 goals-against average and a .913 save percentage, anchoring Carolina to the Stanley Cup Final before a knee injury gave way to Brandon Bussi, who closed out the championship. There is also familiarity at play. Andersen previously played with Oilers winger Zach Hyman in Toronto, and new Edmonton head coach Mike Babcock and assistant D.J. Smith were both behind the bench during Andersen's time with the Maple Leafs. He joins a goaltending group that also includes Tristan Jarry and the recently acquired Devon Levi, giving Edmonton its deepest crease competition in years. Had the Panthers not pivoted to Markstrom, the Oilers might still be searching.
