| With the team in the self-proclaimed center of the hockey universe finally getting serious about rebuilding, the rallying cry for the new season is "wait until next year." Or the year after. Or the one after that. |

| Interim GM Cliff Fletcher is looking for the detonator switch, although blowing things up isn't likely to end the 40-year Stanley Cup drought any time soon. |
| 03/31/2008 | 24 | 23 |
| The Leafs might have caught a break when Pavel Kubina refused to waive his no-trade at the deadline. Kubina has five goals and as many assists in his past nine games. |
| 03/24/2008 | 23 | 25 |
| The Leafs are keeping their faint playoff hopes alive because of their road work lately. Toronto is 8-0-1 in its past nine road games, outscoring opponents 37-18 largely because the power play has clicked at a 38.8 percent rate. |

| No Mats means no mas for the Maple Leafs. |

| Lots of bitterness upstairs after the deadline because of the no-trade handcuffs, but on the ice, the Leafs looked fairly decent and even started musing about the playoffs. Mats Sundin was particularly lively with three goals and four assists as Toronto went 2-0-1. |

| There must be something really special about being a loser in Toronto judging by all the players who are refusing to waive their no-trade clauses. |
| 02/18/2008 | 28 | 26 |
| Will he waive it or won't he? That's the question everyone is asking about Mats Sundin's no-trade clause. All eyes will be on Toronto in the days leading up to next week's trade deadline. |
| 02/11/2008 | 26 | 28 |
| The embarrassment at home against Florida should have been the final straw, except the Leafs rebounded with wins against Montreal and Detroit. That makes some in Toronto still believe, but they shouldn't. |
